原标题：美国要求炼企明年生产混合可再生燃料的油品

    中国石化新闻网讯 据全球石油新闻2019年12月19日华盛顿报道，根据美国环境保护署（EPA）周四确定的最终数量，美国炼油企业明年将被要求在汽油和柴油中混合200.9亿加仑的可再生燃料，占全国运输燃料供应的10.97%。

    尽管环保署将早先的一项提案扩大了5000万加仑，但生物燃料团体和农业州议员批评说，最终的数量太小，不足以弥补过去3年环保署对小型炼油企业普遍豁免的影响。

    美国环保署把明年高级生物燃料指令定为50.9亿加仑，高于7月份提出的50.4亿加仑和2019年的49.2亿加仑指令。这意味着常规乙醇指令将达到150亿加仑，与2017年持平。

    美国环保署把2021年生物柴油指令保持在2020年的24.3亿加仑水平上。它比其他生物燃料类别提前一年。美国2019年生物柴油的需求量为21亿加仑。

    最后的规定说，环保署在制定年度生物燃料混合目标时将使用能源部建议的3年平均减排量来考虑未来小型炼油企业的豁免。

    US refiners required to blend 20.09 billion gallons renewable fuel in 2020: EPA

    US refiners will be required to blend 20.09 billion gallons of renewable fuel into gasoline and diesel in 2020, making up 10.97% of the nation s transportation fuel supply, according to final volumes set Thursday by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

    While EPA expanded an earlier proposal by 50 million gallons, biofuel groups and farm-state lawmakers criticized the final volumes as too small to make up for widespread waivers EPA has granted to small refineries in the past three years.

    EPA set the 2020 advanced biofuel mandate at 5.09 billion gallons, up from 5.04 billion gallons proposed in July and 4.92 billion gallons in the 2019 mandate.

    That implies a conventional ethanol mandate of 15 billion gallons, the same level since 2017.

    EPA kept the 2021 biodiesel mandate at the 2020 level of 2.43 billion gallons. It is set one year ahead of the other biofuel categories. The 2019 biodiesel mandate was 2.1 billion gallons.

    The final rule says EPA will account for future small refinery waivers when setting the annual biofuel blending targets, using a three-year average of the relief recommended by the Department of Energy.

    For 2020, EPA increased larger refiners blending obligations by 770 million Renewable Identification Numbers. But biofuel groups argue this under-counts the exemptions that EPA granted from 2016 to 2018, since DOE s recommendations were often lower than the exemptions EPA ultimately granted.
