As Gunvor has grown, the company has continued to expand the products it trades. Adding trading desks for natural gas, biofuels and carbon emissions was a natural fit to Gunvor’s existing oil and refined products portfolio and logistics expertise.
Over the decade, Gunvor has evolved from its pure merchant heritage to being increasingly embedded all along the energy supply chain. In 2008, the company made its first investment in the development of physical industrial infrastructure: the Ust-Luga Oil products terminal.
