How it reaches your house.
Starting from Dangote Cement, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Crude Oil Feedstock →supply upThe funding supports a planned capacity increase, so the refinery can turn more crude feedstock into gasoline and diesel.
86% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →supply upThe same added throughput should also lift home heating oil output because it is a core refinery product tied to the same crude feedstock input.
82% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →Stands to benefitWith the graph assigning the United States a 43% crude-feedstock share, higher refinery throughput should raise its crude sales and benefit suppliers there.
Hop 2
Gasoline and diesel →Prices riseFuture added gasoline/diesel capacity requires more crude runs, which raises demand and price pressure on crude oil feedstock.
90% confidenceGasoline and diesel →Prices riseExpanded gasoline/diesel output typically needs more refinery-grade hydrogen for upgrading and desulfurization, lifting hydrogen demand.
82% confidenceGasoline and diesel →Prices riseFluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Catalysts
Higher refinery throughput increases FCC catalyst consumption and replacement demand, pushing this critical input pricier.
Hop 3
Hydrotreating Catalysts (CoMo/NiMo) →supply upMore refinery capacity can increase hydrotreating throughput, which should lift home heating oil supply because this input is critical to the fuel stream.
79% confidenceFluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Catalysts →Stands to benefitExpanded refinery throughput should raise FCC catalyst procurement, benefiting W.R. Grace as the largest listed supplier with a 38% share and sticky six-month replacement lead time.
76% confidenceFluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Catalysts →Stands to benefitHop 4
Linde plc →Prices riseDangote's refinery expansion implies higher future throughput, which should raise demand for refinery-grade hydrogen and tighten that market, lifting its price.
74% confidenceBASF Catalysts (Refining Division) →Stands to benefitFluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) Catalysts
More refinery capacity should increase FCC catalyst consumption, benefiting BASF Catalysts as a 30% share supplier with limited substitutability.
71% confidenceSinopec Catalyst Company (SCC) →Stands to benefit
