Fuel Origin

Supplier to the EU

In June 2026, Italy supplied 44 kt of crude oil to EU countries (0.1% of EU crude imports), to Germany and the Netherlands.

In June 2026, Italy supplied 924 kt of refined products to EU countries (4.8% of EU imports of the seven refined-product families we track), mainly to Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia.

Italy's crude inside EU fuel

Estimated

By our estimate, crude from Italy is most present in the road diesel of Germany (less than 1%), France (less than 1%) and Spain (less than 1%), as a share of the crude behind each country's road diesel in June 2026. This is an estimate built from trade and refinery statistics, not a reported figure.

Share: the estimated share of the crude behind each EU country’s fuel that came from Italy. All bars share one scale. Untraceable: the share of that country’s fuel whose crude cannot be traced to any origin.

Medium.

Estimated with the fuel-chain look-through: exports are assumed to leave in proportion to supply, and each country’s refineries are assumed to run on its crude-import mix. Method version 1.5. Calculation lookthrough_v1 (1.5).

No CSV for this section: it is our estimate, served by the API with its method.

  • "Inside EU fuel" is an estimate (one-level look-through, docs/HORMUZ_METHOD.md section 8), not a reported figure.

Strait of Hormuz route

Every cited export point for Italy's crude and products is outside the Persian Gulf: none needs the Strait of Hormuz.

Low. Where a country loads on both sides of the Strait, the split is not published, so only a range is given.

Crude and products: All cited export points lie outside the Persian Gulf: the Taranto oil terminal on the Mar Grande di Taranto (Ionian Sea), fed by the Val d'Agri - Taranto pipeline, and the SIOT marine terminal in the Gulf of Trieste. The Strait of Hormuz is the sole outlet of the Persian Gulf, so the Hormuz-requiring share is 0 by geographic construction, not by estimate. Italy produced 4.367 Mt of crude in 2024 (UNMIG/MASE), 85% of it in Basilicata. Trieste is an IMPORT terminal: Italian crude leaves Trieste by the TAL pipeline, not by ship. CONSIGNMENT-basis caveat: on a customs (consignment) basis this partner may carry crude of other physical origin. It is still recorded as 0 because the ORIGIN-basis series (Eurostat nrg_ti_oilm) attributes such re-exports to the producing country, and on that basis this partner appears only as a producer. See data/reference/REFERENCE_DATA_SOURCES.md section 'v1 extension 2026-09-22'. Cited: unmig.mase.gov.it, tarantopenport.com, tal-oil.com. Method version 1.0.

No CSV for this section: the route classes are cited reference data.

  • The Hormuz route describes where the partner loads oil, from cited reference data. Where it loads both inside and outside the Persian Gulf, the split is unknown and only a range is given.
