with 60 1.3 mb/d globally. This capacity will primarily be constructed in regions where<br />

gasoline demand increases are expected: Asia (0.6 mb/d), the Middle East (0.3 mb/d),<br />

Latin America (0.16 mb/d) and the gasoline-dominated North American market<br />

(0.1 mb/d). In addition, lesser amounts of isomerization (0.2 mb/d) and alkylation<br />

(0.2 mb/d) units are planned. Since all these processes are gasoline-related, the regional<br />

distribution of their additions is similar to reforming capacity additions. Significant<br />

additions are also evident in hydrogen, sulphur recovery and other units, in order to<br />

support the various cracking, desulphurization and octane units.<br />

The combination of additional distillation capacity and secondary process units Figure 6.6<br />

projected to 2016 Effect leads of refinery to an closures increased potential for the global refining system to<br />

produce 8 incremental barrels of specific refined products. To some extent, refiners have<br />

some flexibility in optimizing their final product slate by either altering the composition<br />

their feedstock or by adjusting the operating modes of process units. This<br />

flexibility, however, is limited for any one unit and for any given refinery. With all this<br />

in mind, Figure 6.9 presents an estimation of the potential cumulative incremental<br />

output of refined products, grouped into major product categories, resulting from<br />

existing projects. The assessed implementation of current projects would allow for a<br />

total of 2 around 7.2 mb/d of additional products to be available by 2016, compared to<br />

2011 levels. The majority of this increase is for middle distillates (3.2 mb/d) and light<br />

products, naphtha and gasoline (2.7 mb/d). In addition, fuel oil production is set to<br />
