The fifth challenge deals with the issue that refiners' basic crude slate of the future will be higher in sulphur dan *marginally* lower in overall quality.

By such a small extent as to be virtually unnoticeable.

I agree with the previous poster's definitions--
Derived from the word "margin", it would refer to the quality of the slate of the future being lower, (by just a slight margin, ) than the original slate to which it is being compared.
It could also be interpreted as future slate being lower in quality by a negligable amount.

I think it either means Moderately or Barely.

I would say "slightly" or "moderately"
