Spain Says Summer Jet Fuel Supply Is Secure Despite Geopolitical Risks

Officials frame the pledge as resilience built on reserves and refinery flexibility.

Overview

  • Spain’s energy secretary, Joan Groizard, told a business forum that airlines will have enough kerosene through the summer travel peak.
  • Groizard said Spain holds about 90 days of fuel stocks and could run the season as normal even if imports stopped, with port deliveries and supply contracts still being fulfilled.
  • Officials meet weekly with fuel companies to verify flows and report that shipments continue to arrive at Spanish ports.
  • Spain’s eight refineries are described as versatile and able to process varied crude, which lets the country produce most of the jet fuel used at home after years of investment.
  • The government warned prices can still jump because of the Middle East crisis and trade disruptions, and said Spain will support EU fuel-sharing only after safeguarding domestic supply.
