中国石化新闻网讯 据油气新闻网1月10日报道，可再生炼油燃料/即用型燃料在全球越来越重要，因为与基于原油的精炼燃料相比，它们相对环保。
因此，全球领先的数据和分析公司GlobalData预测，可再生能源炼油厂的产能增加势头日益强劲，北美将成为所有地区中产能增加最多的地区。
GlobalData报告《2022—2026年可再生炼油厂新建和扩建项目类型、发展阶段、关键国家、地区和预测分析》显示，到2026年，北美的可再生炼油厂产能预计将达到109.42亿加仑/年，其次是亚洲和欧洲，分别为36.41亿加仑和32.88亿加仑/年。
GlobalData石油和天然气分析师Himani Pant Pandey评论道，许多国家正在采取措施减少碳排放，作为减少碳足迹计划的一部分。因此，全球对可持续航空燃料(SAF)和可再生柴油等可再生炼油燃料的需求正在增加，这反过来又导致了产能的增加，特别是在北美、亚洲和欧洲。
预计美国将见证北美和全球可再生能源炼油厂产能增加的最高水平，预计到2026年，多个计划和宣布的项目将增加8.324亿加仑的产能。美国所有即将实施的项目都是通过独立可再生炼油厂进行的。
巴拿马、新加坡和加拿大是其他主要国家，预计到2026年，可再生能源炼油厂产能将大幅增加。
Pandey总结道，可再生炼油厂的产能增加主要是通过独立的炼油厂，而一些原油炼油厂被完全或部分改造为可再生炼油厂，以提高可再生燃料的产量。

NAmerica to lead renewable refinery capacity through 2026
Renewable refinery fuels/drop-in fuels are gaining importance globally as they are relatively environment-friendly when compared to crude oil-based refined fuels.
As a result, renewable refinery capacity additions are gaining momentum with North America set to witness the highest capacity additions among all the regions, forecasts GlobalData, a leading data, and analytics company.
The GlobalData report, “Renewable Refineries New Build and Expansion Projects Analysis by Type, Development Stage, Key Countries, Region and Forecasts, 2022-2026”, reveals that North America is expected to witness a renewable refinery production capacity of 10,942 million gallons per year (mmgy) in 2026, followed by Asia and Europe with 3,641 mmgy and 3,288 mmgy, respectively.
Himani Pant Pandey, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Many countries are taking initiatives to reduce carbon emissions as part of their plans to reduce carbon footprint. Therefore, the demand for renewable refinery fuels such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel is increasing globally, which in turn is resulting in capacity additions, especially in North America, Asia, and Europe.”
The US is expected to witness the highest renewable refinery production capacity additions in North America as well as globally, with 8,324 mmgy capacity expected to be added by 2026 from several planned and announced projects. All the upcoming projects in the US are through standalone renewable refineries.
Panama, Singapore, and Canada are the other key countries where considerable renewable refinery production capacity additions are expected to take place through 2026.
Pandey concludes: “Renewable refinery capacity additions are mainly through standalone refineries while some of the crude refineries are either being converted into fully or partially as renewable refineries to boost renewable fuel production.
