About Kerosene

Kerosene is widely known as an efficient and reliable fuel source. The thin clear liquid is often used to heat homes and has many commercial uses too. Kerosene, or 28 second oil as it is commonly known, is a popular choice, due to its low freezing point, for industries where engines and machinery are exposed to colder temperatures. 

As with all fossil fuels, kerosene contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, however, it produces fewer emissions than some traditional fuels like coal and wood.

What affects kerosene prices in the UK?

Kerosene prices fluctuate daily and even throughout the day, therefore it is always advisable to contact your local team for up-to-date kerosene prices.

There are numerous factors that affect the price of kerosene, including:

  • Supply and demand – Prices are driven by the increased production/ lack of this product
  • Currency exchange rates – Countries which rely on energy exports to fuel economic growth mean that any peaks or troughs in exchange rates, affects the price on this fuel
  • OPEC agreements – OPEC (The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) exists to keep global oil prices stable which then affects the price of fuel 
  • Social and political issues – These can also impact kerosene prices, such as conflicts in oil producing countries 
  • The weather – This is also known to alter fuel prices due to delivery issues or increases on demand
