Refining
In response to significantly lower demand in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, refinery output and capacity utilisation rates were reduced. Despite falling utilisation rates, refinery fuel consumption remained steady as many of the efficiency improvements depend on higher utilisation rates.
Transport fuel represented 55% of UK refinery output in 2021
UK refineries produced 50 million tonnes of refined product
Less than 80% of refinery capacity was used in 2020
