    Denmark: jet fuel available in July 2026

    Everything refined in the country plus everything imported.

  2. 2

    Where that fuel came from

    Ireland's refineries ran on (going by its crude imports, May–June 2026)

    Denmark's refineries ran on (going by its crude imports, May–July 2026)

    Benin: crude origin not published.

  3. 3

    The crude behind Denmark's jet fuel

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 July 2026, the largest single source of jet fuel available in Denmark was Ireland (41%), followed by Denmark's own refineries (24%).

Ireland's refineries ran on crude from the United States (82%) and Azerbaijan (18%), going by its crude imports in May–June 2026.

Taken together, an estimated 39% of the crude behind Denmark's jet fuel came from the United States, 9% from Norway and 7% from Azerbaijan; 42% cannot be traced.

The largest untraced part (22%) is there because we hold no crude import statistics for Benin.

Up to 42% of the crude behind Denmark's jet fuel 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.
