How it reaches your house.
Starting from Crude Oil Feedstock, 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 upCrude oil feedstock is a critical input to gasoline and diesel, so expanded refining capacity should increase their availability.
88% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →supply upCrude oil feedstock is a critical input to home heating oil, so more refining capacity should raise output supply.
84% confidenceNatural Gas (SMR feedstock for hydrogen) →supply upDangote's planned refinery capacity expansion implies more refined fuel output, and this high-dependency input edge supports additional gasoline and diesel supply.
83% confidenceNatural Gas (SMR feedstock for hydrogen) →supply upThe same refinery expansion should raise production of heating oil as another critical output tied to this natural-gas-dependent refining path.
80% confidenceGasoline and diesel →Prices riseIf Dangote executes the planned capacity expansion, gasoline and diesel output rises and the refinery must buy more crude feedstock, putting upward cost pressure on crude at the margin.
66% confidenceHop 2
Home heating oil →Prices riseMore home heating oil output from new refinery capacity directly raises demand for crude feedstock, and this is the dominant input (dependency_strength=1).
79% confidenceHome heating oil →Prices riseHigher hydroprocessing throughput requires more refinery hydrogen, so added capacity should lift hydrogen demand and cost.
69% confidenceHome heating oil →Prices riseHydrotreating Catalysts (CoMo/NiMo)
More desulfurization volume increases catalyst usage and replenishment demand, especially for this critical input.
Hop 3
Hydrotreating Catalysts (CoMo/NiMo) →Stands to benefitTopsoe A/STOPSOE.CO
As the largest identified supplier of these catalysts (40% share) with moderate substitutability and an 8-month replacement lead time, Topsoe should gain from higher catalyst demand tied to new refinery capacity.
66% confidenceHydrogen (refinery-grade) →Stands to benefitAir Products and Chemicals, Inc.APD
If Dangote's added refining capacity lifts refinery-grade hydrogen demand, Air Products should gain incremental sales, and its 40% share plus 18-month replacement lead time make it highly exposed.
65% confidenceHydrogen (refinery-grade) →Stands to benefitHop 4
Air Liquide S.A. →Prices riseNew refining capacity should lift demand for refinery-grade hydrogen, and Air Liquide’s 20% share with low substitutability implies firmer hydrogen pricing even though it is not a sole supplier.
69% confidenceLinde plc →Prices riseA new refinery adds hydroprocessing demand for refinery-grade hydrogen, so Linde’s hydrogen-linked business should see firmer demand and pricing.
67% confidenceAlbemarle Corporation (Ketjen Catalysts) →Stands to benefit
