What we trade in petroleum coke.
Petroleum coke (petcoke) is a carbon-rich solid produced as a byproduct of oil refining and oil sands upgrading. Fuel-grade petcoke is used in cement kilns and power generation; anode-grade petcoke is used in aluminium smelter anode production.
Canadian oil sands upgrading produces large volumes of high-quality petcoke as a byproduct. The product follows essentially the same Pacific export trade lane as our active sulphur book — same Vancouver terminals, same vessel types, same Asian customer base.

Why this trade right now
Asian aluminium smelters require anode-grade petcoke that is in structurally tight global supply. Asian cement producers are major fuel-grade petcoke buyers with consistent annual demand. Canadian petcoke ships through the same Pacific lanes as sulphur and trades through similar counterparty networks.
Typical destination markets
- China — cement and aluminium
- India — cement industry
