中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社吉隆坡10月17日消息称,马来西亚某行业协会的负责人周三表示,由于油价上涨提高了生物燃料的吸引力,马来西亚的生物柴油产量可能在今明两年达到创纪录水平,2018年的出口有望比2017年翻一番。 这个东南亚国家是世界第二大棕榈油生产国,棕榈油可以作生产生物柴油的原料。 马来西亚生物柴油协会主席Unnithan通过短信告诉路透社:“如果当下的棕榈油和汽油差价继续存在,我相信马来西亚生物柴油产量可能达到90万吨,出口达到47.5万吨。” 他表示:“这对于马来西亚的产出和出口而言都是创纪录的水平。” 据当地数据显示,马来西亚2017年生产了720410吨生物柴油,出口量为235291吨。 该国7月份表示,明年它将把生物柴油要求从目前的7%提高到10%。要求是指生物柴油中必须含有的生物成分的百分比。 Unnithan表示,如果政府执行该计划且原油价格保持不变,那么到2019年马来西亚可生产多达120万吨的生物柴油。 近几个月,由于原油价格走高和棕榈油市场走弱,柴油对棕榈油的溢价有所扩大。10月初它对棕榈油的溢价达到每吨219美元,达到四年来的最高水平,周三溢价达到每吨178美元左右。 Unnithan的最新预测标志着他在4月份做出的估计上做了向上修 正。当时他表示,面对来自印度尼西亚的竞争,马来西亚生物柴油产量可能降至50万吨。那时柴油对棕榈油的溢价约为每吨20美元。 曹海斌 摘译自 路透社 原文如下: Malaysia's biodiesel output, exports set to hit records -industry body Malaysian biodiesel production is likely to hit record levels this year and next, with 2018 exports on track to double from 2017, pushed up as higher oil prices boost the appeal of biofuels, the head of an industry association said on Wednesday. The Southeast Asian nation is the world’s No.2 producer of palm oil, which can be used as feedstock to make the bio components of biodiesel. “I believe Malaysian (biodiesel) production might hit 900,000 tonnes and exports 475,000 tonnes if the current price differential between crude palm oil and gasoil remains,” U.R. Unnithan, president of the Malaysian Biodiesel Association, told Reuters by text message. “These would be record high (output and export) levels for Malaysia,” he said. Malaysia churned out 720,410 tonnes of biodiesel in 2017 and exported 235,291 tonnes, according to local data. The country said in July that it would raise its so-called biodiesel mandate next year to 10 percent from the current 7 percent. The mandate refers to the percentage of bio-content that must be contained in biodiesel. If the government goes through with that plan and crude prices hold, Malaysia could produce up to 1.2 million tonnes of biodiesel in 2019, said Unnithan. Diesel’s premium over palm oil has widened in recent months amid stronger crude prices and weaker palm markets. Its spread over palm hit $219 per tonne in early October, its widest in four years, and was around $178 on Wednesday. Unnithan’s latest outlook marks an upward revision to estimates he made in April, when he said Malaysian biodiesel production could decline to 500,000 tonnes in the face of competitive shipments from Indonesia. Diesel’s spread over palm was about $20 a tonne at that time.
