In the global turmoil following the American and Israeli intervention in Iran, Italy can look with a certain degree of optimism at fuel stocks at stations on the country’s roads and highways. Indeed, Italy exports a significant amount of refined oil. There is not, at least in the short term, a risk for motorists of running out of fuel. In fact, last year, out of sixty million tons of crude oil refined annually, about half – 25.7 million tons, of which 8.3 of diesel and 6.2 of gasoline – was sold abroad. The destinations? Mainly Europe and the Mediterranean, but shipments to the United States are also present. Imports of finished products, on the other hand, slightly exceed 15 million tons. Made in Italy oil has a strong international relevance in petrol and diesel, but it is weaker in jet fuel for aircraft (half of the need is imported). The high level of independence in refined products is one of the elements on which the government is finalizing its plan to manage the energy emergency. In addition to being a crucial bulwark against the current financial turbulence. Italy, which extracts just a tenth of its crude oil and less than 5% of its gas, is one of the few European countries to have successfully maintained its refining industry. Looking exclusively at diesel exports, 1.3 million tons travel to Gibraltar, one of the primary oil distribution hubs, before being exported all over the world. Other customers include Croatia (1.326 million tons), Spain (1 million), Libya (692 thousand), Algeria (596 thousand), Slovenia (564 thousand), Turkey (446 thousand), and France (364 thousand), not to mention Morocco, Israel, Egypt, Switzerland, and Albania.
