In 2023–2024, the leading exporters of 2 FUEL OIL (CAS 68476-30-2) were Russia, the United States, and Saudi Arabia, collectively accounting for over 45% of global exports by value; major importers included India, South Korea, and the Netherlands, reflecting strong demand in refining and industrial energy markets. Trade volumes remained relatively stable year-on-year, though regional shifts emerged—particularly increased imports by India and Southeast Asian nations amid tightening domestic refining capacity and fluctuating 2 FUEL OIL prices.
2 Fuel Oil is a dark brown to black, viscous liquid at ambient temperature, with a characteristic petroleum-like odor and low volatility; it has no sharp melting or boiling point due to its complex hydrocarbon mixture nature. It is classified as a petroleum-derived hydrocarbon blend, primarily composed of aliphatic and aromatic compounds in the C10–C20 range. It is used industrially as a fuel in heating oil systems, marine engines, and industrial burners, and serves as a feedstock for further refining into lighter distillates or blending components. Its principal application areas include energy generation, industrial heating, and as a base for formulating fuel blends in non-automotive sectors.
