Refineries have shifted production away from gasoline to middle distillates
Refineries have shifted production away from gasoline to middle distillates

Particularly high refinery margins for distillate fuel oil and jet fuel have contributed to shifts in the refinery yields of major products in 2026. Data from our latest Petroleum Supply Monthly—which includes data through August 2026—indicate refinery yields of gasoline have decreased significantly this year to support increased production of distillate fuel oil and jet fuel, sometimes referred to as middle distillates due to their relative cut points in the oil refining process.

Global refinery inputs fell sharply in the second quarter of 2026 before modest recovery
Global refinery inputs fell sharply in the second quarter of 2026 before modest recovery

Global crude oil refinery inputs fell by 4.8 million barrels per day (b/d) in the second quarter of 2026 (2Q26), or 6%, following the start of conflict in late February in the Middle East, according to data from Kpler. Throughput then increased by 1.8 million b/d in the third quarter, primarily as refiners in the region adjusted to new trade flows.

The share of solar generation with co-located battery storage is increasing
The share of solar generation with co-located battery storage is increasing

Utility-scale solar developers are increasingly co-locating battery storage with new solar photovoltaic capacity. As of September 2026, over 16% of new utility-scale solar capacity added this year is co-located with operable battery storage, compared with 2% in 2017, according to data reported to EIA by operators.

LNG imports make up increasing share of Colombia's natural gas supply
LNG imports make up increasing share of Colombia's natural gas supply

Colombia is importing more liquefied natural gas (LNG) as domestic production continues to fall. A potential drought this fall and winter could limit the availability of hydroelectric generation and boost the country's demand for natural gas power generation. Colombia's government has declared a national disaster in anticipation of a drought resulting from an expected strong El Niño.
