Fuel Origin

Where does European fuel come from, and what is in its price?

Pick a country to see the crude and refined-product origins behind its fuel supply, the refineries on its territory, how much of that supply physically depends on the Strait of Hormuz, and what a litre at the pump is made of.

Source & method

Each row repeats its country page’s headline for road diesel, from the same calculation. Crude behind road diesel is an estimate (label: Estimated) built from Eurostat energy statistics, one country back: where the fuel sold in the country came from, and where the crude behind it was produced. Through Hormuz is the upper end of the range of that crude that may have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, from cited export-route reference data. Pump price is the latest weekly price including tax, from the European Commission Weekly Oil Bulletin.

Country names and EU membership come from the curated country reference list (UN M49 names, shortened for display). “Not published” means the figure is not in the published statistics we hold; it is never zero and never filled in.

Suppliers to the EU (108)

Countries outside the EU that member states reported importing crude oil or refined products from in June 2026. Crude is in million tonnes and as a share of all crude imports reported by the 27 member states; the importers are the largest EU buyers. The Hormuz route is where the country loads its oil, from cited reference data. “None reported” means no member state reported an import from it that month; it is not zero.
