DEF Supply Chain Challenges

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is a urea-based product used around the world. A disruption in its supply chain affects its production and distribution and can cause a constraining ripple effect impacting stakeholders and users in many ways. Over the last two years, urea markets have been significantly challenged.

The impacts of COVID-19 on the global economy, coupled with China’s decision to limit its international urea exports, have resulted in a slowdown of the global urea market supply. Moreover, the recent geopolitical and macroeconomic context resulting from the war in Ukraine that led to Russian sanctions, is also contributing to supply shortages, and impacting the cost of energy and natural gas supplies needed to convert ammonia into urea, and ultimately DEF.

Less available natural gas leads to higher acquisition costs and ultimately more expensive urea and DEF.

Blue Network… Always A Step Ahead
