Refining capacity in China and the US

China
Despite Beijing raising its fuel prices in early April, China is expecting its refineries to run at the second highest rate on record during May. 2.69 million bpd are expected to be processed by China’s 12 largest refineries alone. China’s refined output is expected to reach 93.6% of the total processing capacity available in the country. The rise in output is linked to the rise in demand for refined products in the world’s third largest economy. 

Also, China increased its exports of gasoline products to 1.41 milllion t in the first quarter of this year. This is more than double the amount exported in the same period of 2009. Exports of diesel have also increased significantly.
