  • Who are the world leaders in the collection and processing of used oils?
  • The world leaders in the collection and processing of used oils are the countries of North America and the West, which is provided by strict legislative regulation and the availability of developed relevant infrastructure. What shapes and challenges collection and re-refining of used oils in Russia and the neighboring countries.
  • What is the collection rate of used lubricants in Russia?
  • As a result, the collection rates of used oils in the US, Canada, and Europe are above 70%. Russia is the largest market for lubricants in Europe, but until recent times there was no legislative framework and there was no system for collecting and processing used oils in Russia.
  • Why is Russian refining so important?
  • The Russian refining system still has a significant legacy from its Soviet past, when refineries were located in relatively remote regions to serve the military and industrial complex and output of fuel oil was encouraged to supply heavy industry.
  • When did the Russian refining industry start?
  • The Russian refining industry emerged in several waves: during the first stage of industrialization in the 1930s, then in the post-World War II Soviet push to rival US economic might, and finally in the late 1960s–early 1970s, on the back of the spectacular growth of Soviet oil output in Western Siberia.
  • Why did Russia decentralize its oil industry?
  • The shift of Russia’s oil production from Volga–Urals to western Siberia in the 1970s, and a geographical dispersion of Soviet refining operations, led to some decentralization of the Russian petroleum industry. At that time, it reflected the consumption patterns of the Soviet economy relatively well.
  • Could a 'individual' approach solve Russia's fuel oil crisis?
  • The concentration of fuel oil output in just a handful of refineries suggests that the problem with which the Russian regulators have been struggling could be addressed with the right industrial policy – one that focuses on an ‘individual’ approach to the specific circumstances of each of these refineries.
