  • 要点总结
  • 众议院今年早些时候以微弱优势通过全年销售E15汽油的法案
  • 该法案在参议院通过难度极大,常规重大法案通常需要60票才能过关
  • 白宫支持的一项拨款法案或为法案通过提供新途径

6月24日(路透社)——唐纳德·特朗普总统领导的白宫周三请求国会通过一项法律,允许全年销售含更高比例乙醇的汽油,此举再度推动生物燃料行业长期以来的核心诉求。

尽管特朗普长期支持全年销售掺有15%乙醇的汽油,但此次是其政府首次正式推动该项政策落地,也表明白宫愿意挑战反对该法案的美国炼油商——炼油商担忧该法案可能推高成本并使燃油分销复杂化。

此举也是白宫为抑制汽油价格上涨的最新举措。自2月底美以联合袭击伊朗以来,汽油价格持续走高。支持者认为,高乙醇混合汽油可为驾车者提供比传统汽油更便宜的选择。

在周三发布的一项补充拨款法案中,白宫管理和预算办公室请求国会解决这一“迫切且必要的问题,将全年永久销售E15汽油纳入法律条文”。

含10%乙醇的汽油已可全年销售,但15%乙醇混合汽油(即E15)在夏季销售受限,因为该燃料在炎热天气下更易挥发,可能加剧雾霾污染。

允许全年销售E15汽油的法案今年早些时候在众议院以微弱优势通过,为多年来一直推动该变革的乙醇生产商和农业州议员带来了胜利。

但该提案在参议院面临更大阻碍:常规重大立法通常需要60票才能绕过程序性障碍。

当前参议院席位分配接近均势,且部分与炼油利益集团结盟的议员反对该法案,支持者难以组建起法案通过所需的两党联盟。

截至周三上午,美国全国普通汽油平均价格为每加仑3.93美元,自美伊同意停火并重新开放全球油气供应关键航道霍尔木兹海峡以来,油价持续下跌。

  • Summary
  • The House narrowly approved year-round E15 sales earlier this year
  • The measure faces long odds in the Senate, where major bills typically need 60 votes
  • A White ​House-backed spending bill could provide a new path to passage

June 24 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s White House asked Congress on Wednesday to pass a law allowing year-round sales of gasoline containing higher volumes of ethanol, reviving a long-sought priority of the biofuels industry.

While Trump has long backed year-round sales ​of gasoline blended with 15% ethanol, the decision marks the first formal push ​by his White House to enact the policy and signals a willingness ⁠to challenge U.S. refiners that have opposed the measure over concerns it could raise costs ​and complicate fuel distribution.

The effort also marks the White House’s latest attempt to curb gasoline ​prices that have risen since the joint U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran in late FebruaryIran, with supporters arguing the higher-ethanol blend provides motorists with a cheaper alternative to conventional gasoline.

In a supplemental bill released on ​Wednesday, the White House Office of Management and Budget asked Congress to address the “urgent ​and needed fix that codifies the permanent, year-round sale of E-15.”

Gasoline containing 10% ethanol can already be ‌sold ⁠year-round, but sales of the 15% blend, known as E15, have been restricted during the summer because the fuel evaporates more readily in hot weather and can contribute to smog.

Legislation allowing year-round sales of E15 gasoline had narrowly cleared the House of Representatives earlier ​this year, handing a ​victory to ethanol producers ⁠and farm-state lawmakers who have pushed for the change for years.

But the proposal faces a steeper climb in the Senate, where ​major legislation generally requires 60 votes to overcome procedural hurdles.

With ​the chamber closely ⁠divided and some lawmakers aligned with refining interests opposed to the measure, supporters have struggled to assemble the bipartisan coalition needed for passage.

As of Wednesday morning, the national average for a ⁠gallon of ​regular gasoline was $3.93, and has been falling since the ​United States and Iran agreed to cease hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping artery ​for global oil and gas supply.
