CNBC reports that analysts expect the IMO's January 1, 2020 cap on marine fuel sulfur at 0.5%, down from 3.5%, to create an oversupply of high-sulfur fuel oil and boost demand for compliant low-sulfur products. Analysts expect this to spark a resurgence in diesel demand over coming months.
UBS estimates the green shipping market could be worth at least $250 billion over five years.
Stronger diesel demand from the shipping rule would raise fuel costs for freight and logistics used in feed supply chains.
