Austria: jet fuel available in July 2026
Everything refined in the country plus everything imported.

Where that fuel came from
Austria's refineries ran on (going by its crude imports, May–July 2026)

The crude behind Austria's jet fuel
- Exports are assumed to be drawn from every source in proportion to its share of supply.
- Each country's refineries are assumed to run on its crude-import mix over the latest three months.
- The chain looks back one country only; fuel re-exported through a supplier is not followed further.
- The crude origin is the producing country the statistics report, not the loading terminal, so the Hormuz answer is a range wherever a producer loads both inside and outside the Persian Gulf.
In July 2026, most jet fuel available in Austria was refined in Austria (94%), followed by Germany (6%).
Austria's refineries ran on crude from Kazakhstan (55%), the United States (18%) and Libya (11%), going by its crude imports in May–July 2026.
Taken together, an estimated 53% of the crude behind Austria's jet fuel came from Kazakhstan, 19% from the United States and 11% from Libya; 7% cannot be traced.
The largest untraced part (7%) is there because Austria's refineries used more crude than it imported (its own production or stocks), and that part is not traced.
Between 2% and 9% of the crude behind Austria's jet fuel is estimated to have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, a limited dependence judged on the upper bound. No midpoint is published: crude that cannot be traced is counted as anything from none to all of it.
This is an estimate, not a reported figure: it assumes exports are drawn proportionally from every source and that each country's refineries run on its crude-import mix, and it looks back only one country.
Hormuz and the pump price in Austria
Calculated- At most 9% of the crude behind Austria's jet fuel in July 2026 could have passed through Hormuz.
