石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社紐約報道，據一位知情人士透露，今年早些時候，美國環境保護署批準雪佛龍石油公司從美國猶他州煉油廠的生物燃料法中獲得了2017年的豁免。 雪佛龍公司在2017年公布的凈收入為92億美元，成為全球最大的一家獲得可再生燃料標準（RFS）艱苦條件豁免的公司。該標準要求煉油商將乙醇等生物燃料混入燃料池，或從競爭對手那里購買符合標準的信用額度。 在特朗普執政期間，這些豁免條款大幅增長，激怒了玉米種植者，他們表示這會損害對乙醇和其他生物燃料的需求。 總部位于加州的雪佛龍拒絕證實是否獲得了一個小型煉油廠艱苦條件的豁免，但他確實表示，尋求這些條件可以讓競爭公平。 每天的產能低于75000桶的精煉廠，如果證明合規會給它們帶來不成比例的困難，就可以獲得RFS的豁免，雪佛龍的猶他州鹽湖城工廠每天生產54000桶。 路透社此前報道，雪佛龍公司與?？松梨谝黄?，尋求美國生物燃料法的艱苦豁免。?？松梨诘纳暾埱闆r尚不清楚。 詹曉晶摘自路透社 原文如下： Exclusive: Chevron granted waiver from U.S. biofuel laws at Utah plant – source ?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency granted oil major Chevron Corp a 2017 hardship waiver from U.S. biofuel laws for its Utah refinery earlier this year, according to a source familiar with the company’s operations. Chevron, which reported a net income of $9.2 billion in 2017, becomes the largest known company to be awarded a hardship waiver from the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), which requires refiners to blend biofuels like ethanol into their fuel pool or buy compliance credits from competitors that do. The waivers, which have grown significantly under the Trump administration, have angered corn-belt farmers who say it hurts demand for ethanol and other biofuels. California-based Chevron declined to confirm whether it received a small refinery hardship waiver, but did say that seeking them can level the playing field. Refineries with a capacity less than 75,000 barrels-per-day can receive waivers from the RFS if they prove compliance would cause them disproportionate hardship. Chevron’s Salt Lake City, Utah, plant is 54,000 barrels-per-day. Reuters previously reported that Chevron, along with Exxon Mobil Corp, sought a hardship waiver from U.S. biofuel laws. Exxon Mobil’s application status was unclear. ?
