The crude behind Denmark's road diesel
Assumptions
- 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 December 2025, most road diesel available in Denmark was refined in Denmark (92%), followed by Norway (8%).
Denmark's refineries ran on crude from Norway (39%) and the United States (33%), going by its crude imports in October–December 2025.
Taken together, an estimated 36% of the crude behind Denmark's road diesel came from Norway, 30% from the United States; 34% cannot be traced.
The largest untraced part (26%) is there because Denmark's refineries used more crude than it imported (its own production or stocks), and that part is not traced.
Up to 34% of the crude behind Denmark's road diesel is estimated to have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, a significant 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.
