据OGJ网12月3日消息 美国环境保护署（EPA）于11月30日确定了2019年可再生燃料配额和2020年生质柴油配额。环保署表示，传统的可再生燃料配额，主要由玉米提炼的乙醇来满足，将在2019年保持在190亿加仑，而需要改进的生物燃料量将从2018年增加630万加仑达到199.2亿加仑。
环保署表示，2019年的纤维生物燃料配额将近130万加仑增加到418万加仑。2020生质柴油配额为330万加仑超过2019所需水平。
几家石油天然气公司和其他行业协会的官员非常关键。美国石油学会下游和工业运营副总裁弗兰克·麦基亚罗拉说：“年复一年地实施这个有问题的计划根本没有意义，我们需要一个完善可再生燃料标准的全面立法解决方案。”
事实是，过时的设想是建立在石油天然气工业的计划、市场力量和技术创新的开始，因此需要一个新的政策框架。
“我们希望今年对环保署这一宣布做出不同的回应，但这仅仅标志着又增加了一年的任务完全脱离了实际”。美国燃料和石化制造商（AFPM）在一份声明中说。
AFPM说：“但是，经过十多年的这种错误政策，我们现在期待着与EPA合作，重新制定这些不切实际的条款，以更好地与国内生产和市场需求相一致，即便如此，环保署也只能做这么多才能使不可行的工作变得可行，因此我们继续呼吁国会介入并彻底修复这一有问题的计划。

The US Environmental Protection Agency established quotas The 2019 quota for cellulosic biofuels increased nearly 130 million gal to 418 million gal, EPA said. The 2020 biomass-based diesel quota was 330 million gal more than the 2019 required level.
Officials at several oil and gas and other trade associations were critical. “Implementing this broken program year after year simply doesn’t make sense. We need a comprehensive legislative solution that sunsets the Renewable Fuel Standard,” said American Petroleum Institute Downstream and Industry Operations Vice-Pres. Frank J. Macchiarola.
“The reality is that outdated assumptions made at the inception of the program, market forces, and technological innovations in the oil and natural gas industry have combined to necessitate a new policy framework,” Macchiarola said.
“We wish we could respond differently to this announcement this year, but this merely marks another year of more of the same increases in the mandate that are completely detached from reality,” the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers said in a statement.
“But, after more of a decade of this bad policy, we now look forward to working with EPA to reset these unrealistic volumes to better align with domestic production and market demand,” AFPM said. “Even still, there is
