South Africa’s demand for liquid fuel products outstrips the country’s capacity to supply such products and the shortfall is being met by importing refined fuel. However, the country has, in recent years, experienced several episodes of localised liquid fuel product shortages. These shortages point to possible refinery weaknesses and shortcomings in the country’s liquid fuels supply chain. In the coming years, the gap between the country’s capacity to produce liquid fuel products and its demand for such products is expected to increase and, without the development of new capacity, South Africa could find itself importing more than 200 000 bbl/d of transportation fuels by 2020. As a result, consideration is being given to the best possible method for meeting the growing fuel supply shortfall.

Creamer Media’s 2013 Liquid Fuels report examines South Africa’s liquid fuels market, focusing on the business environment, oil and gas exploration, the country’s feedstock supplies, the development of South Africa’s biofuels industry, fuel pricing, competition in the sector, the logistics of transporting liquid fuels and environmental considerations, with a particular focus on cleaner fuels.

This report draws from material published over the past 12 months and is a summary of other sources of information published in Engineering News and Mining Weekly, as well as information available in the public domain. This report does not purport to provide an analysis of market trends.
