Product
High-Quality Refined Petroleum Fuels
S-Oil’s Ulsan refinery produces gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, with light-oil yield raised to 78% of total output by end-2025, supporting sales of KRW 6.2 trillion in refined products in 2025. These fuels meet IMO 2020/Euro 6-equivalent specs and cut CO2 and NOx per MJ by ~7% vs 2019, boosting fuel efficiency and lowering fleet emissions. The upgraded portfolio preserves margins, exporting 42% of refined volumes to ASEAN and Middle East markets.
Expanded Petrochemical Portfolio
The Shaheen Project, due late 2025, expands S-Oil’s petrochemical portfolio with a Steam Cracker and TC2C tech, adding ethylene and polyethylene capacity of about 1.2 million tpa and shifting revenue mix toward chemicals (estimated 30%–40% of EBITDA by 2026), lowering fuel exposure and capturing a global plastics precursor market growing ~3.5% CAGR to 2026; this enables feedstock conversion from crude to higher-margin synthetic materials.
S-Oil 7 Premium Lubricants
The S-Oil 7 premium line uses in-house high-quality base oils to deliver top-tier automotive and industrial lubricants that boost engine life and performance and meet OEM specs from BMW, Mercedes, and Toyota; by 2025 the portfolio grew 18% YoY and contributed about $120 million in revenue. The range now includes EV and hybrid-specific fluids launched 2023–2025, targeting a projected 12% market share in Korea’s premium lubricant segment by end-2025.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Biofuels
S-Oil integrated Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and biofuels into its 2025 product lineup, using co-processing with bio-feedstocks to cut lifecycle CO2 by up to 70% versus conventional jet fuel (IEA range) and producing ~120 ktpa SAF-equivalent capacity by 2025.
These fuels target airlines and logistics clients, helping corporates meet Scope 3 and ESG targets; SAF sales contributed an estimated KRW 80bn in 2025 revenue and strengthened S-Oil's leadership in Asia-Pacific energy transition.
- Co-processing tech: integrates bio-feedstock into existing refinery units
- Emissions cuts: up to 70% lifecycle CO2 reduction
- 2025 capacity: ~120 kilotonnes per annum SAF-equivalent
- 2025 revenue impact: ~KRW 80 billion
- Strategic effect: improved ESG positioning for APAC corporate customers
Hydrogen and Clean Energy Solutions
S-Oil shifted into hydrogen and clean energy, investing in green and blue hydrogen production and using its refining sites and pipelines to cut CAPEX; the firm targets industrial users and heavy transport as part of a long-term growth push aligned with Korea’s hydrogen roadmap through 2030.
In 2025 S-Oil reported hydrogen project CAPEX of ~KRW 300bn and aims for 200,000 tons/year capacity by 2030 via partners including Hyundai and POSCO, expecting hydrogen sales to contribute materially to mid‑term EBITDA.
- Leverages refinery assets and pipelines
- Targets industry and heavy transport
- KRW 300bn CAPEX (2025)
