石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社纽约报道，据一位知情人士透露，今年早些时候，美国环境保护署批准雪佛龙石油公司从美国犹他州炼油厂的生物燃料法中获得了2017年的豁免。 雪佛龙公司在2017年公布的净收入为92亿美元，成为全球最大的一家获得可再生燃料标准（RFS）艰苦条件豁免的公司。该标准要求炼油商将乙醇等生物燃料混入燃料池，或从竞争对手那里购买符合标准的信用额度。 在特朗普执政期间，这些豁免条款大幅增长，激怒了玉米种植者，他们表示这会损害对乙醇和其他生物燃料的需求。 总部位于加州的雪佛龙拒绝证实是否获得了一个小型炼油厂艰苦条件的豁免，但他确实表示，寻求这些条件可以让竞争公平。 每天的产能低于75000桶的精炼厂，如果证明合规会给它们带来不成比例的困难，就可以获得RFS的豁免，雪佛龙的犹他州盐湖城工厂每天生产54000桶。 路透社此前报道，雪佛龙公司与埃克森美孚一起，寻求美国生物燃料法的艰苦豁免。埃克森美孚的申请情况尚不清楚。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 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.
