據(jù)烴加工2021年7月29日?qǐng)?bào)道，美國(guó)可再生柴油的生產(chǎn)能力到2024年可能顯著增加，這是基于幾個(gè)項(xiàng)目的宣布，這些項(xiàng)目要么正在建設(shè)中，要么即將開發(fā)。 這一增加是由各州和聯(lián)邦政府提高可再生燃料的目標(biāo)、優(yōu)惠的稅收抵免以及將現(xiàn)有的煉油廠轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)榭稍偕裼蜔捰蛷S所推動(dòng)的。

　　截至2020年底，美國(guó)可再生柴油生產(chǎn)能力總計(jì)近6億加侖/年，或3.8萬桶/天。 目前在建的幾個(gè)項(xiàng)目可能會(huì)使這一產(chǎn)能增加24億加侖/年; 已提議和已宣布的項(xiàng)目到2024年前將再增加18億加侖/年。 如果所有項(xiàng)目按計(jì)劃投產(chǎn)，到2024年底前，美國(guó)可再生柴油產(chǎn)量將達(dá)到51億加侖/年(33萬桶/天)。

　　盡管可再生柴油產(chǎn)量增長(zhǎng)，但如果所有可再生柴油產(chǎn)能擴(kuò)張的估計(jì)都能按計(jì)劃實(shí)現(xiàn)，而石油柴油煉油廠的產(chǎn)能基本保持不變，那么到2024年前，可再生柴油將占美國(guó)現(xiàn)有柴油總產(chǎn)能的5%左右。

　　可再生柴油是一種化學(xué)性質(zhì)與石油柴油相同的可再生燃料，其性能特性幾乎相同。 可再生柴油可以在任何水平上混入石油柴油，這與生物柴油不同，生物柴油只能按2%至20%的體積比例混入柴油。

　　U.S. renewable diesel capacity could increase due to upcoming projects

　　U.S. production capacity for renewable diesel could increase significantly through 2024, based on several announcements for projects that either are currently under construction or could be in development soon. This growth is driven by higher state and federal targets for renewable fuel, favorable tax credits, and the conversion of existing petroleum refineries into renewable diesel refineries.

　　As of the end of 2020, U.S. renewable diesel production capacity totaled nearly 0.6 billion gallons per year (gal/y), or 38,000 barrels per day (b/d). Several projects currently under construction could increase this capacity by 2.4 billion gal/y; proposed and announced projects would add another 1.8 billion gal/y by 2024. If all projects come online as intended, U.S. renewable diesel production would total 5.1 billion gal/y (330,000 b/d) by the end of 2024.

　　Despite growth in renewable diesel production, renewable diesel will make up about 5% of current U.S. diesel production capacity by 2024 if all estimates of proposed renewable diesel capacity expansions occur as planned and petroleum diesel refinery capacity remains largely unchanged.

　　Renewable diesel is a renewable fuel that is chemically the same as petroleum diesel and nearly identical in its performance characteristics. Renewable diesel can be blended into petroleum diesel at any level, making it different from biodiesel, which can only be blended at rates between 2% and 20% of diesel fuel by volume
