Downstream Petroleum
AIP produces a publication “Downstream Petroleum” on the state of the Australian downstream petroleum industry and its financial performance. The report provides a concise overview of recent developments in petroleum refining and marketing in Australia and the Asian region. The report highlights the challenges and competitive pressures facing the Australian industry and its importance to […]
The Role of Alternative Fuels
Subsidising domestic alternative fuel production is not necessary for energy security The reliable supply of conventional transport fuels (petrol, diesel and jet fuel) to the Australian market is underpinned by a diversity of supply options for petroleum products from domestic refiners and imports, and ready access to the global market for petroleum products in the […]
Fuel Users: Major and Essential Fuel Users and Motorists
All fuel users need to analyse and understand their own fuel use and to consider how best to manage the potential impacts of reduced fuel supply Many larger fuel users only hold limited stocks on the expectation that stocks will be held by fuel suppliers, or indeed governments will intervene to protect their interests if […]
Australia’s Emergency Response Plans
Australia has robust emergency response plans and arrangements Industry and governments fully recognise the potential impacts of a severe national shortage of fuel supplies to business and consumers. Australia has robust response plans for managing a national liquid fuel emergency, which reflect Australian market characteristics, utilise proven market and commercial response mechanisms, and adopt international […]
Imports of Transport Fuels
Transport fuel importsĀ do not increase risk for supply reliability and security A diversity of global supply sources and local import facilities provide a range of options for Australia. Australia is already dependent on imports to meet the growth in demand for transport fuels (eg. demand for diesel and jet fuel exceeds total local refinery production) […]
Submission to the Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee Inquiry – Australia’s transport energy resilience and sustainability
Through submissions to review processes, AIP aims to inform the community about the downstream petroleum industry, and its significance to the national economy, by making available comprehensive factual information and data about the industry and its performance over time. AIP material also highlights the key challenges facing the industry, particularly in a highly competitive environment. […]
Liquid Fuels Stockholdings in Australia and the IEA Obligation
Australiaās import, terminal and storage capacity for transport fuel has increased over time to meet growth in fuel demand There has been significant investment in new and expanded storage and terminal facilities over recent years to meet demand growth in key regional centres, as evidenced in government and ACCC audits of import/terminal facilities. For example, […]
Security of Shipping Lanes
Relying on shipping (for imports) does not increase security risks, and shipping lanes are not easily disrupted. Most countries are reliant on movements of petroleum (crude and product) within and between countries, and particularly so for Australia (in both an export and import sense). Security of shipping cargoes is a key focus of the global […]
