根据俄罗斯《生意人报》9月下旬的报道，俄罗斯政府正在考虑采取一系列调控措施，以应对国内汽油批发价格的持续上涨和供应紧张问题。这些措施包括 取消汽油进口关税，并临时放宽对某些化学添加剂的使用限制，目的是减轻燃料市场的压力。 在国内生产方面，诺瓦克提议临时解除对化学添加剂单甲基苯胺（MMA）的使用禁令。MMA可以有效提高低标号汽油的辛烷值，帮助炼油厂在现有设备 下，将更多低品质原油加工成符合标准的92号汽油，从而提高产量。此外，提议还包括三项配套措施：将从白俄罗斯的燃料进口量从9月的4.5万吨/月提高 到30万吨/月，利用邻国的产能来补充边境地区的燃料供应；允许在汽油中添加不超过5%的乙醇，以减少原油消耗；提高汽油中的芳烃含量上限，从35%增 加到40%，以简化生产工艺并提高产量。 近年来，俄罗斯燃料市场波动加剧，汽油批发价格较年初上涨超过30%。有些地区甚至出现了汽油短缺的情况。市场分析认为，导致这一局面的主要原因是 乌克兰无人机对俄罗斯炼油设施的频繁袭击。 截至目前，至少四座主要炼油厂因袭击而受损，其中两座已全面停产进行检修，直接导致国内汽油日产量减少约8万吨，占全国总产能的15%。而且随着秋 冬季节来临，居 ...
