Japan proposes oil refiners must raise fuel oil processing capacity at plants

Japan is proposing its oil refineries increase the amount of residual fuel oil processed at the plants in a third round of directives to streamline the nation’s refining sector.

Japan’s refiners want the overall nationwide average volume of residual fuel oil processed to 7.5% of the volume of crude oil that they refine in the year starting in April 2021, according to documents released by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) on Aug. 29 for public review.

The ratio is currently about 7%, a senior METI official told Reuters on Tuesday.
