原文地址：China Keeps 2024 Fuel Export Quota Level Similar to Last Year
新闻日期：2024-09-20
中国昨日发布了今年第三批、可能是最后一批燃料出口配额，与去年保持相似水平。根据行业顾问机构Mysteel OilChem和JLC的数据，七家炼油商和贸易商获得了8万吨汽油、柴油和jet燃料的出口许可。今年的总配额达到41万吨，与2023年的40万吨基本持平。
北京方面没有立即回复关于此事的传真。配额水平的设定表明，中国政府致力于减少排放并鼓励炼油行业的整合。在需求疲弱导致利润率下降的情况下，中国的汽车销量也有所下滑。
另外，北京还发布了10万吨低硫燃油出口配额，使今年的总配额达到130万吨，略低于2023年的水平约2%。
原文摘要：
China issued the third and what’s likely to be the final batch of fuel export quota for this year, keeping the level very similar to 2023 in a sign it doesn’t want to encourage refiners to boost activity. Seven refiners and traders received permission to export 8 million tons of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel in the tranche, according to industry consultant and Mysteel OilChem. That takes the total issuance for the year to 41 million tons, compared with 40 million tons in 2023. The batch will likely be the last for the year, according to JLC.The Ministry of Commerce, which oversees the allocations, didn’t immediately respond to a faxed request for comment. The level of quota allocations signals that Beijing is serious about reducing emission levels and also that it’s keen to encourage consolidation in the refining industry. It comes as margins for producing are dropping on weakening global demand, and as Chinese fall. Read More: Separately, Beijing also issued 1 million tons of low-sulfur fuel oil export quota, taking the total for this year to 13 million tons, said. That’s around 2% lower than in 2023.
