You don't need storage if you immediately burn the oil?

To mirror fauigerzigerk's point: The power demand is already being met by the existing system. How could you profit by burning the oil immediately for power generation?

How much can they possibly burn immediately upon delivery and which other fuel would it replace?

I don't know for sure, but my hunch is that it's insignificant in terms of extra carbon emissions.
