石油设备网讯 据安迅思5月15日伦敦报道，贸易机构ePure周三表示欧盟取消对美国燃料乙醇的反倾销税将使欧洲生产商和相关行业遭受“不公平的贸易做法”的指责，并削弱欧洲气候变化的雄心。欧盟委员会于5月14日发布通知，废除2013年对美国进口乙醇征收的每吨62.30€的罚款。
报告称，如果美国其他出口市场对美国乙醇进口实行更严格的控制，进口量可能会进一步增加。
欧盟秘书长伊曼纽尔·德斯普勒钦也认为，美国乙醇进口量的增加可能会影响欧洲的减排。“欧盟2050年的气候目标要求大量吸收传统和先进的生物燃料。为了实现这些目标，政策制定者必须做得更好，创造一个环境，让欧洲乙醇产业能够在公平的环境中竞争，并将国内生物质转化为食品和非食品用途。”
欧洲市场参与者此前证实，美国燃料乙醇进口的温室效应(GHG)平均值低于欧洲生产的材料。据几个消息来源称，目前只有两家美国生产商被认为持有欧洲乙醇认证，可以向欧洲出口燃料乙醇。还有人担心，以更低价格增加美国进口可能会给传统乙醇价格带来负面压力，尤其是99%的工业乙醇。

EU's repeal of ADDs on US ethanol 'risks serious consequences for entire value chain'
The EU’s repeal of anti-dumping duties (ADDs) on US fuel ethanol will subject Europe producers and associated industries to “unfair trade practices” as well as denting European climate change ambitions, trade body ePure said on Wednesday.The European Commission issued a notice on 14 May repealing a €62.30/tonne penalty on US ethanol imports, introduced in 2013.
import volumes could increase further if other US export markets introduce stricter control on US ethanol imports, it said.
Secretary-General of ePure Emmanuel Desplechin also argued increased US ethanol import volumes could impact emission reductions in Europe.“The EU’s 2050 climate goals require a massive uptake of conventional and advanced biofuels. To achieve them, policymakers must do a better job of creating an environment in which Europe’s ethanol industry can compete on a level playing field and valorise domestic biomass into food and non-food uses.”
European market participants have previously confirmed that US fuel ethanol imports have lower greenhouse (GHG) savings on average than material produced in Europe.only two US producers are currently thought to hold European ethanol certifications that enable fuel ethanol exports into Europe, according to several sources.There are also concerns that increased US imports at cheaper prices could put negative pressure on traditional ethanol prices, particularly 99% industrial ethanol.
