China Maintains Fuel Export Quotas to Support Regional Energy Trade

Key Highlights

  • China issued a second batch of fuel export quotas totaling 18 million metric tons.
  • Volume remains largely unchanged from the same allocation period last year.
  • Quotas cover refined fuel products, including diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel.
  • Stable export allocations provide certainty for refiners and regional buyers.
  • The move supports continued participation in Asia-Pacific energy markets.

China has allocated 18 million metric tons of fuel export quotas in its second round of approvals for 2026, maintaining a steady supply outlook for regional energy markets.

The decision provides Chinese refiners with continued opportunities to participate in international trade while ensuring stable planning for overseas customers.

The quotas cover major refined petroleum products, including diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel. By keeping allocations broadly consistent with previous levels, authorities are signaling confidence in export activity and market stability.
