Moving Energy Forward
Centalion moves physical energy, metals, and bulk materials from where they are sourced and stored to where they are demanded most.
While Centalion has historically been an oil trader, our company ultimately trades what is tradeable and what the market demands. Biofuels, natural gas, and renewables today account for a significant portion of our trading volumes.
Tomorrow, what we move will be dependent on how the world reconciles affordable energy and economic development with the imperative to address energy security and Climate Change.
To manage the risks associated with the changing energy landscape, we prepare and adapt.
Centalion’s strength—which has enabled our company over the last 25 years to become one of the largest independent traders in the world—is in being agile and entrepreneurial.
Our advanced analytics ensure for quick decision-making. Sound governance and robust Compliance limit risk and serve as a competitive advantage. Digitization and artificial intelligence provide an edge.
Centalion further upholds a working environment that fosters openness, cooperation, and interaction. We seek to stimulate innovation and improvement, and encourage our employees to bring new ideas and speak their minds.
For a trader like Centalion, there are opportunities ahead to move energy forward—to grow globally, diversify our trading, and fulfil our role in global energy landscape.

Volumes
Trading volumes refer to the amount of physical energy commodities sold over a given period. The current and expected volumes of supply and demand for the commodities in which Centalion is active vary over time based on changes in resource availability, government policy and regulation, costs of production, global and regional economic conditions, demand in end markets for products in which the commodities are used, technological developments, including commodity substitutions, fluctuations in global production capacity, global and regional weather conditions and natural disasters. While 2022 saw a dip in overall trading volumes, the year saw a historic high in net profit.
Revenue
For a trading company, revenues (also known as “turnover”) are reflective of the price of commodities during a given period and do not represent the money generated from normal business operations, as with manufacturing or producing companies. Therefore, increases or decreases in revenues are not necessarily indicative of overall business performance.
