纽约5月13日路透电 — 美国众议院周三通过一项法案，允许在全美范围内全年销售含15%乙醇的汽油，这对生物燃料生产商和农业团体来说是一项重大胜利，但炼油商担忧合规成本会上升。
这项编号为H.R. 1346的法案，全称《全国消费者与燃料零售商选择法案》，以218票对203票获得通过，将允许燃料零售商全年销售E15汽油，取消因雾霾问题实施的季节性销售限制。

该法案还需在参议院获得通过，需获得60%的赞成票，之后还需美国总统唐纳德·特朗普签署才能生效。
支持者表示，允许全年销售E15汽油将扩大生物燃料需求，有助于压低自伊朗局势紧张以来飙升的燃油价格。批评人士则认为，该法案可能会增加炼油商的成本，这些炼油商已经在联邦生物燃料强制规定下承担了更高的合规负担。
一些议员还提出了财政担忧，马萨诸塞州民主党众议员詹姆斯·麦戈文表示，该法案将使美国债务增加数十亿美元。
美国国会预算办公室估计，假设该法案于2026年8月生效，那么在2026年至2036年间，该法案将增加27亿美元直接支出，同时增加40亿美元的税收收入，最终导致净赤字增加约23亿美元。

霍尔木兹海峡是全球五分之一石油和液化天然气供应的运输通道，该海峡的关闭推高了燃油价格，这成为唐纳德·特朗普总统及其所在共和党在11月中期选举前面临的一大软肋。

NEW YORK, May 13 (Reuters) – The U.S. House passed legislation on Wednesday that would allow nationwide year‑round sales of gasoline containing 15% ethanol, handing a major win to biofuel producers and farm groups while raising concerns among refiners about higher compliance costs.
The H.R. 1346 bill, or the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, approved by a vote of 218 to 203, would permit fuel retailers to offer E15 year‑round, removing seasonal restrictions linked to smog concerns.

The legislation would need to pass the Senate, where it needs 60% of votes, and get a signature from President Donald Trump to be enacted.
Supporters say allowing year-round E15 sales would expand biofuel demand and help lower fuel prices that have spiked since the start of the Iran war. Critics argue it risks raising costs for refiners already facing higher compliance burdens under federal biofuel mandates.
Some lawmakers have also raised fiscal concerns, with Representative James McGovern, a Massachusetts Democrat, saying the measure will add billions to U.S. debt.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would increase direct spending by $2.7 billion while raising revenues by $0.4 billion, resulting in a net deficit increase of about $2.3 billion between 2026 and 2036, based on an assumption that the legislation would take effect in August 2026.

High fuel prices due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, conduit for a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies, have become a major vulnerability for President Donald Trump and his Republican party ahead of the November midterm elections.
