???? 據(jù)烴加工網(wǎng)站3月23日報道 馬來西亞生物柴油協(xié)會（MBA）表示，由于歐盟限制和冠狀病毒大流行，馬來西亞棕櫚基生物柴油的出口今年可能降至2017年以來的最低水平。
????MBA總裁U.R. Unnithan在棕櫚油和月桂酸油價格展望會議上表示，馬來西亞的出口量預(yù)計將從2020年的37.8582萬噸降至35萬噸。
????歐盟占馬來西亞和印度尼西亞棕櫚甲酯（PME）出口的近80%，PME是來自棕櫚油的生物柴油的生物成分。
????然而，自2019年歐盟出于對森林砍伐的擔(dān)憂，將棕櫚油用作運輸燃料的使用限制在2019年的水平以來，出口已經(jīng)放緩，目標(biāo)是到2030年逐步停止棕櫚油的使用。
????Unnithan在會議上表示：“由于歐盟授權(quán)的RED II法案，馬來西亞生物柴油出口不太可能達到2019年的最佳表現(xiàn)。”
????MBA估計，歐盟2019年棕櫚生物燃料的總消費量為620萬噸。今年的實際出口將以低得多的水平開始，因為歐盟成員國推動的無棕櫚生物燃料議程可以設(shè)定一個較低的限制。
????Unnithan表示，一些成員國還將在2030年最后期限前逐步淘汰棕櫚生物柴油。
????由于歐盟規(guī)則的影響、棕櫚油和天然氣的原油擴散以及冠狀病毒遏制措施導(dǎo)致的車輛使用量減少，今年的出口將是四年來最低。
????由于原油價格下跌，近期棕櫚油價格上漲，周二食用油價格比天然氣價格高出455美元，對生物柴油原料的吸引力降低。
????原油價格下跌，因擔(dān)心新的新冠疫情控制措施和歐洲緩慢的疫苗推廣將阻礙燃料需求的復(fù)蘇，去年由于全球封鎖以遏制COVID-19疫情，燃料需求崩潰。

????Malaysia's biodiesel exports in 2021 seen falling to four-year low
????Malaysia's exports of palm-based biodiesel are likely to fall this year to their lowest since 2017 due to European Union restrictions and the coronavirus pandemic, the Malaysian Biodiesel Association (MBA) said.
????Exports from Malaysia are estimated to fall to 350,000 tons from 378,582 tons in 2020, MBA president U.R. Unnithan said at the Virtual Palm and Lauric Oils Price Outlook Conference.
????The European Union accounts for nearly 80% of Malaysia and Indonesia's exports of palm methyl ester (PME), the bio component of biodiesel that comes from palm oil.
????Exports, however, have slowed since the bloc in 2019 moved to cap the use of palm oil for transport fuel at 2019 levels due to deforestation concerns, with an aim to phase out its use by 2030.
????"(Malaysia's) biodiesel exports are unlikely to best the performance seen in 2019 due to the EU Delegated RED II Act," Unnithan told the conference.
????MBA estimates the EU's total consumption of palm biofuel in 2019 was 6.2 million tons. It said that actual exports this year will start at much lower levels because EU member states pushing for a no palm-biofuel agenda can set a lower limit.
????Some member states will also phase out palm biodiesel before the 2030 deadline, Unnithan said.
????Exports this year will be the lowest in four years due to the impact of the EU rule, a rising crude palm oil-gas oil spread and reduced usage of vehicles due to coronavirus containment measures, he added.
????A recent rally in palm oil prices amid lower crude prices pushed the edible oil to trade $455 above gas oil on Tuesday, making it a less attractive option for biodiesel feedstock.
????Crude prices have declined on concerns that new pandemic curbs and slow vaccine rollouts in Europe will hold back a recovery in fuel demand, which collapsed last year as a result of global lockdowns to curb COVID-19 outbreak.
