Fuel Origin

Flows

How oil reaches each country

Where the EU’s crude oil and fuel come from, as each member state reports its imports; every band’s width is proportional to tonnes.

In June 2024, all 27 EU member states reported importing 1,483 kt of LPG; the largest origins outside the EU were the United States (28%), Norway (17%) and Algeria (12%), and 22% came from other EU member states, with less than 1% not attributed to any country.

Left: the country the LPG was last shipped from, which may be a trading hub rather than where it was refined. Right: the EU member state that reported importing it in 2024-06, in tonnes. Every solid flow is a figure a member state published. In the Top 5 views the other side keeps its eight largest countries and sums the rest into one “Other” row (our arithmetic, dotted).

Month: 2024-06 (requested; 27 of 27 member states reported). Energy basis: the country the fuel was last shipped from, which may be a trading hub rather than where it was refined, as each EU member state reports it (Eurostat nrg_ti_oilm).

Not in the diagram: Luxembourg. They reported no imports above zero from any named origin for this month (a reported zero, or origins the publisher withheld). That is not the same as importing nothing.

  • Energy basis (Eurostat nrg_ti_oilm): for refined products, the country the fuel was last shipped from, as each EU member state reports it; it may be a trading hub rather than where the fuel was refined. The customs basis is not mixed in.
  • Imports from other EU member states may be fuel refined there or fuel only shipped on from elsewhere; they are grouped separately.
  • A member state's imports the publisher did not attribute to a country are shown as 'Origin not reported', never spread over the named origins.
