To reduce its carbon dioxide (CO₂) footprint, the plastics industry is striving to increase circularity by using plastic pyrolysis oils (pyoils) from waste plastics as steam cracker feedstock. https://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/02/us-crude-stocks-rose-while-gasoline-and-distillate-inventories-fell/ U.S. crude stocks rose while gasoline and distillate inventories fell in the week ending February 9, 2024 the Energy Information Administration said. https://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/02/us-crude-stocks-rise-gasoline-and-distillate-inventories-fall/ U.S. crude stocks rose as oil refiners took in less oil, following extreme cold weather that knocked out utilization last month, the Energy Information Administration reports. https://hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/02/us-manufacturers-poised-for-resumed-growth-diesel-shortage/ Consumption of diesel and other distillate fuel oils is closely correlated with the manufacturing and freight cycle so the business upturn is very likely to result in renewed growth in distillate use in 2024.
