Origins and Market Context
Kazakh Mazut M100 is a residual heavy fuel oil produced under GOST specifications, characterized by high viscosity and high calorific value. It is used predominantly for industrial steam generation and large-scale heating applications. Variations in sulfur content define quality classes and influence environmental impact. Handling and storage pose specific challenges requiring pre-heating and clean logistics.
In Kazakhstan, Mazut M100 is produced by national refineries and oil producers, including companies such as Mangystau Petroleum LLP and Arlan NefteGaz, which list product variants including M100/13, M100/75 and M100/99 (denoting sulfur categories) . Kazakhstan is among the few producers worldwide of this fuel grade, along with other former Soviet states
Environmental Concerns: High sulfur grades contribute to air pollution.
Logistical Demands: Requires specialized infrastructure for transport and storage.
Market Restrictions: Many countries impose limits on high-sulfur fuel oil imports.
Cleaner Grades: Very Low Sulfur Mazut M100 offers potential in regulated markets.
Regional Energy Demand: Industrializing economies in Central Asia and Asia-Pacific continue to rely on heavy fuel oil.
Strategic Location: Kazakhstan’s geography enables supply routes to both Europe and Asia.
Mazut M100 is primarily used in:
Power Generation: As boiler fuel in large-scale thermal power plants.
Industrial Heating: In factories requiring high-temperature furnaces.
Maritime and Heavy Industry: In regions where regulations allow its use as bunker fuel.
