據今日油價網站8月5日消息 美國能源信息管理局（EIA）周四表示，去年美國石油消耗量降至1810萬桶/日，為25年來最低水平。

　　與一年前相比，2020年運輸行業的石油消費量下降了15%，創下了歷史新高。EIA在去年按來源和行業劃分的美國石油產品消費新估計中表示，每個能源消費行業的石油消費量都有所下降。

　　在美國，汽油消耗量和其他燃料消耗量下降的主要原因是航空運輸業，尤其是汽油消耗量下降。

　　EIA數據顯示，去年美國消費量最大的石油產品汽車汽油的消費量下降了14%，降至800萬桶/日，這是自1997年以來美國汽油消費量的最低水平。去年，汽油占美國石油消費總量的44%。運輸行業占車用汽油消費量的96%，而工業和商業行業則占其余部分。

　　與2019年相比，2020年柴油消耗量也下降了8%。

　　去年，柴油占美國石油消費量的21%。通常，四分之三以上的柴油用于運輸行業的卡車、輪船和火車。

　　航空燃料消耗量下降幅度最大，達62%，上一次下降是在1983年。去年，航空燃料和航空汽油占美國石油總消耗量的6%。

　　總的來說，EIA上個月的估計顯示，美國石油、天然氣和煤炭消費量在2020年下降了9%，達到1991年以來的最低水平，標志著美國化石燃料消費量在絕對值和百分比上的年降幅至少為1949年以來最大，占美國化石燃料消耗量的44%，與2019年相比，去年下降了13%。

　　U.S. Oil Consumption Dropped To 25-Year Low In 2020

　　U.S. petroleum consumption declined to 18.1 million barrels per day (bpd) last year, the lowest level in 25 years, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Thursday.

　　Petroleum consumption in the transportation sector plunged by a record-breaking 15 percent in 2020 compared to a year earlier. Oil consumption declined in every single energy-consuming sector, the EIA said in new estimates of U.S. petroleum products consumption by source and sector for last year.

　　Lockdowns and other measures to contain COVID across the United States in 2020 were the key reason for lower petroleum consumption, especially in the transportation sector where consumption of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel plunged.

　　Consumption of the most consumed petroleum product in the U.S., motor gasoline, slumped by 14 percent to 8 million bpd last year, which was the lowest level of gasoline consumption in the country since 1997, EIA data showed. Gasoline accounted for as much as 44 percent of total U.S. petroleum consumption last year. The transportation sector makes up 96 percent of the motor gasoline consumption, while the industrial and commercial sectors consume the rest.

　　Diesel fuel consumption also fell, by 8 percent in 2020 compared to 2019.

　　Diesel accounted for 21 percent of U.S. petroleum consumption last year. Typically, over three-quarters of all diesel fuel is used by trucks, ships, and trains in the transportation sector.

　　Jet fuel consumption saw the steepest decline, by 62 percent, to levels last seen in 1983. Jet fuel and aviation gasoline accounted for 6 percent of total U.S. petroleum consumption last year.

　　Overall, EIA estimates showed last month that U.S. consumption of petroleum, natural gas, and coal slumped by 9 percent in 2020, reaching the lowest level since 1991 and marking the largest annual decrease in U.S. fossil fuel consumption in both absolute and percentage terms since at least 1949. Demand for petroleum products, which accounted for 44 percent of fossil fuel consumption in the United States, plunged by 13 percent last year compared to 2019.
