What is kerosene?

Kerosene is a fast burning and easily ignitable hydrocarbon fluid used for fuel in heating systems. The word kerosene was trademarked by the North American Gas Light Company in 1854.

This meant they were the only company allowed to use the word kerosene commercially. However, it has since been given a generic trademark and anybody can use this term to describe heating oil and paraffin.

Kerosene is more commonly known as paraffin oil in the UK. It can be purchased in small quantities right through to large, bulk orders of 36,000 litres plus. The colour of kerosene varies on its type, but normal kerosene oil (28-second burning oil) will generally be a clear, yellow shade.

What is kerosene used for?

Kerosene oil is used for home heating and industrial procedures needing low sulphur fuel. Its clean burn characteristics maintain a high heat output at cheaper costs, which makes it ideal for your central heating needs.

Kerosene prices in 2020

The price of kerosene can be very cheap when used as a heating oil and depending on when you order it. That’s why it’s the preferred domestic heating oil in the UK, being used in an estimated 1.5 million homes.

Kerosene as jet fuel, however, is of a significant quality and can be costly due to the stringent testing and safety guidelines which are associated with its manufacture.

Used as a trusted cleaning agent, kerosene can also work out as a very cheap alternative (price per litre) to buying specialist cleaning products.

As nationwide kerosene suppliers, if you require fuel in an emergency, Speedy Fuels can supply you with heating oil in a matter of hours to anywhere in the UK.

What does the peak kerosene price mean for you – and should you be worried?

Kerosene prices follow the trend of crude oil barrel prices. So when the price per barrel of crude oil is stable, the price of kerosene is also stable – and its will generally peak during the winter period as demand rises.

However, if the price of crude rises for other reasons, such as a drop in production, then the price of kerosene will rise accordingly and could reach peak price before winter.

Scarcity of crude deposits can also impact peak oil prices. If oil deposits run out and no new reserves are discovered, then we are truly headed for peak kerosene prices. Although, don’t worry just yet – reserves look to remain for a good while.
