Rafinăriile din Europa fac profituri uriaşe din benzină, pe fondul crizei globale de aprovizionare

European refineries are experiencing record profits from gasoline due to global supply crises, with refining margins exceeding $62 per barrel. This surge is driven by conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, which have limited refining capacity and reduced fuel availability. Gasoline stocks in Europe are at a five-year low, exacerbated by low water levels in the Rhine affecting barge transport. Europe remains a net exporter of gasoline, primarily to the U.S., where summer travel increases demand. Concerns are rising about potential maintenance work at U.S. refineries impacting supply. Diesel margins also reached record levels amid competition for alternative fuel sources due to Russian export bans.
