Diesel Fuel Market
The world of the energy market is a business for professionals.
EN590 10PPM
EN590 is a standard that specifies the requirements for diesel fuel in the European Union. It sets limits on various properties of diesel fuel, including its sulfur content, density, flash point, and cetane number. Diesel fuel that meets the EN590 standard is commonly used in diesel engines in Europe and other parts of the world. The maximum sulfur content allowed in EN590 diesel fuel is 10 parts per million (ppm), which is much lower than the sulfur content in older diesel fuels. This is important because sulfur can contribute to air pollution and can damage the engines and exhaust
PRICE & MARK PLATE
The price of EN590 diesel fuel in global markets is influenced by a range of factors, including:
- Crude oil prices – Diesel fuel is derived from crude oil, so changes in crude oil prices can have a significant impact on the price of EN590 diesel fuel.
- Refining costs – The cost of refining crude oil into diesel fuel, including transportation, labor, and other expenses, can affect the price of EN590 diesel fuel.
- Supply and demand – Changes in global demand for diesel fuel, particularly from the transportation sector, can affect the price of EN590 diesel fuel. Similarly, changes in the supply of diesel fuel due to refinery maintenance or unplanned outages can also impact prices.
- Government regulations – Government regulations, such as taxes, subsidies, and environmental standards, can affect the price of EN590 diesel fuel in different markets.
- Currency exchange rates – The price of EN590 diesel fuel is often denominated in US dollars, so changes in currency exchange rates can affect the price of the fuel in different countries.
Overall, the price of EN590 diesel fuel in global markets can be highly volatile due to these and other factors, and can vary significantly across different regions and countries.

DIESEL FUEL QUALITY
Quality Factors of Diesel Fuel Production
The quality of diesel fuel EN590 depends on several factors, including:
- Sulfur content :
EN590 specifies a maximum sulfur content of 10 parts per million (ppm) for the fuel. Lower sulfur content results in lower emissions of sulfur dioxide and particulate matter. - Cetane number :
EN590 requires a minimum cetane number of 51. A higher cetane number indicates better ignition quality and improved engine performance. - Density :
EN590 specifies a density range of 820 to 845 kg/m3 at 15°C. Density affects the energy content of the fuel and its ability to flow through pipelines. - Distillation characteristics :
EN590 specifies distillation characteristics, such as the temperature at which 10% and 90% of the fuel has evaporated. These characteristics affect the cold flow properties of the fuel. - Stability :
EN590 requires the fuel to be stable under normal storage conditions. Fuel stability affects its ability to resist degradation and the formation of deposits in fuel storage tanks and engines. - Lubricity :
EN590 requires the fuel to have a minimum lubricity value. Lubricity affects the ability of the fuel to lubricate engine components and prevent wear and damage.
We consistently monitor the quality to guarantee the safety and well-being of consumers.
