Energy surcharges
It requires energy to produce, and transport refined silica sand. At the same time, the world is affected by sharply fluctuating energy prices, which have an impact on our production and freight costs.
To compensate for the fluctuations, our goods and freight charges are each subject to an energy surcharge. Both types of surcharges are variable, which means that they are adjusted as market prices for energy rise and fall. On this page you can stay informed about the current energy surcharges, and gain insight into how we calculate them..
Calculation of energy surcharges on goods
The energy surcharges are calculated as an average of the daily prices for natural gas, electricity and diesel oil over a seven-day period from Friday to Thursday. The calculation also includes production related energy and environmental surcharges imposed by our suppliers, as well as the average price of LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas). The LPG price is recorded once a month.
Energy surcharge on goods | |||
| Week 16 € / tonne | Week 17 € / tonne | Week 18 € / tonn | |
| Washed sand in bulk | 0.53 | 0.94 | 0.74 |
| Oven dried sand in bulk | 0.58 | 0.85 | 0.24 |
| Packed goods | 0.45 | 0.45 | 0.29 |
Daily energy prices

| Electricity | DKK 658.15 per MWh |
| Diesel | DKK 15,554.29 per 1,000 liter |

Calculation of surcharges on transport
| Date | Index 100 | 08.04.2026 | 16.04.2026 | 22.04.2026 |
| Oil price Brent Europe | 68 | 122.11 | 114.93 | 113.44 |

| One barrel in DKK | 421.60 | 780.28 | 728.66 | 722.61 |
| Index DKK | 100 | 185.08 | 172.83 | 171.40 |
| Transport washed bulk and packed items | % | 17.02 | 14.57 | 14.28 |
| Silo transport ovendried bulk | % | 14.46 | 12.38 | 12.14 |
| Due from | 13-19 April | 20-26 April | 27 April-03 May |
If the price of oil exceeds index 100 a surcharge on oil will automatically be added. This means that if the price of oil goes up to more than DKK 421.60 per barrel a surcharge on oil charge is prompted. Readings of the USD exchange rate and the Brent Europe oil price are taken on the websites below. The most recently available data form the basis for the for the oil surcharge the following week.
