To cover the increase in energy demand by supplying petroleum coke.
In recent years, because of soaring oil prices and the increased demand for energy, petroleum coke has been drawing attention once again.
Petroleum coke is mainly used for power generation in the cement and chemical industries, as well as an energy source and ash adjustment for steel manufacturers. Petroleum coke is one of the products generated during the process of refining crude oil. It is more competitive than thermal coal.
Also, there are many advantages compared to thermal coal, such as a higher calorific value and lower ash content.
Mitsui Bussan Metals has been working directly with major oil companies, securing bulk terminals and utilizing Mitsui’s global network around the world, to provide a stable supply to our customers.
