What Trafigura does
Trafigura Group Pte. Ltd. is a privately-held, employee-owned physical commodity trading company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Singapore, with approximately 14,500 employees, more than 1,400 employee-shareholders, and operations spanning 50+ offices and 150+ countries. The Group operates through seven core commercial divisions: Oil and Petroleum Products (6.6 million barrels/day to 2,000+ customers), Metals and Minerals (non-ferrous concentrates and refined metals plus iron ore, metallurgical and thermal coal — the latter under 5% of revenue), Gas and Power (39.6mmt+ of gas and LNG traded in 2025 plus >2 BCM European storage and licensed Brazilian power trading), Renewables and Hydrogen (MorGen Energy green hydrogen ecosystem targeting 3 GW by 2030), Carbon Trading (165Mmt+ volumes delivered annually across five regional hubs, 630,000+ ha nature-based removals footprint), Shipping and Marine Logistics (one of the world's largest vessel charterers with 5,250+ voyages/year and ~400 vessels on time-charter), and Logistics and Storage (Impala Terminals JV with IFM, Lobito Atlantic Railway concession, barge fleets on the Paraná-Paraguay Waterway).
The Group's technology and asset base combines physical infrastructure — owned/leased storage terminals, blending facilities, chartered and increasingly ammonia/methanol dual-fuel vessels, the 1,300 km Lobito railway concession to the DRC border, and a Texas power plant — with proprietary digital systems including the GoLow maritime carbon insetting programme, the Agora supply-chain carbon emissions platform (co-developed with bp and Ecopetrol), the Syzygy Plasmonics / Nth Cycle / Standard Lithium / Develop Global recycled-mineral offtake structures, and a venture portfolio across C-Zero, HY2GEN, OneH2, Zero Emission Industries, Malta Inc., Quidnet Energy, Bboxx, Daphne Technology, OXCCU and LanzaTech. Operating subsidiaries and JVs include Nyrstar (zinc/lead mining and smelting), Puma Energy (downstream fuels retail across emerging markets), Greenergy (acquired August 2024, UK/European biodiesel and road fuels), Impala Terminals (JV with IFM Investors), TFG Marine (bunker JV with Frontline and Golden Ocean), MorGen Energy, Nala Renewables (50% sold to IFM in May 2026), and Lobito Atlantic Railway.
Trafigura's revenue model is primarily transaction-based: it earns spreads between producer offtake and end-customer sale on physical commodities, supplemented by financing-linked offtake structures (prepayment facilities and debt-financed offtake with reference to LBMA/LME spot pricing), asset-level industrial earnings from operating subsidiaries (Nyrstar, Puma Energy, Greenergy, MorGen Energy, Impala Terminals, Nala Renewables), and freight/bunker revenues from third-party chartering. The business is funded through a three-pillar model combining short-term transactional facilities, securitisation programmes (Trafigura Securitisation Finance), and corporate credit facilities, supported by ~USD 75 billion in credit lines from ~150 banks. For H1 2026 (six months to 31 March 2026) the Group reported revenue of USD 141.9bn (vs USD 119.1bn in H1 2025), net profit of USD 4.1bn (third-best half-yearly result in its history), Underlying EBITDA of USD 7.9bn, group equity of USD 17.5bn and total assets of USD 111.3bn.
