Core Viewpoint - The U.S. is considering imposing tariffs on up to 50 critical minerals, which are essential raw materials for chemical production, potentially replacing the current "reciprocal tariffs" and posing a significant challenge to the U.S. chemical market [1] Group 1: Impact on Refining and Chemical Industries - Tariffs on minerals such as fluorspar, cerium, and lanthanum will significantly increase product prices in the refining catalyst market [3] - Fluorspar is used to produce hydrofluoric acid, a catalyst for alkylation units, while cerium and lanthanum are catalysts for fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units [3] - Increased catalyst prices may lead refineries to alter their operations, potentially reducing the operating rates of alkylation units and shifting production towards toluene or mixed xylene, impacting the aromatics market [3] - Changes in the operating rates of alkylation and FCC units will simultaneously affect the supply and demand of propylene [3] Group 2: Broader Implications for Chemical Products - Fluorspar is also a key upstream raw material for fluorinated chemicals and fluoropolymers, which are increasingly important in 5G devices, semiconductor manufacturing, and lithium-ion batteries [3] - Concerns have been raised about titanium oxide being included in the tariff list, which would further increase costs for U.S. paint manufacturers already pressured by previous steel tariffs [3] - Special catalysts are also at risk; tariffs on antimony could lead to price increases for producers of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), as antimony is a crucial catalyst in its production [4] - Bismuth, another catalyst for polyurethane production, faces similar tariff risks, impacting the overall cost structure of these industries [4] - The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) indicates that various minerals, including iridium, neodymium, rhodium, ruthenium, palladium, and platinum, are essential for catalyst manufacturing, suggesting significant implications for domestic industries if tariffs are enacted [4]

需求疲软、产能过剩和成本攀升多重压力下—— 欧洲炼油行业面临深度洗牌
Zhong Guo Hua Gong Bao· 2025-04-21 02:19
除了供需失衡,运营成本的大幅上升也让炼油企业不堪重负。高昂的能源价格以及不断攀升的碳 税,使得企业的运营成本显著增加。维多公司投资总监Jay Gleacher指出,尽管炼油毛利率尚未恶化到 极点,但运营成本居高不下,已成为悬在炼油厂头上的"达摩克利斯之剑"。伍德麦肯兹分析师认为,过 高的运营成本,对炼油厂未来盈利能力和脱碳投资构成重大风险,尤其在欧洲,碳税征收大幅增加了炼 油厂运营成本。预计到2035年,欧洲的碳价格将涨至全球平均水平三倍,部分炼油厂将丧失经济可行 性。 多重压力下,欧洲部分炼油厂已难以为继。到目前为止,欧洲已宣布关闭50万桶/日的炼油产能。 2024年,意大利埃尼公司旗下的利沃诺炼油厂停止原油加工;今年第二季度,英国的格兰杰默斯炼油厂 也将关闭。此外,壳牌旗下的莱茵炼油厂和英国石油旗下的盖尔森基兴炼油厂,预计今年也将面临产能 缩减。 转型机遇悄然显现 近年来,欧洲炼油行业正经历前所未有的挑战。在需求疲软、产能过剩和成本攀升的多重压力下, 行业洗牌已成定局。伍德麦肯兹研究显示,未来十年,全球410家炼油厂中有101家炼油厂或将关闭,占 全球产能的21%,其中欧洲将成为这场变革的主战场。在这场生 ...
亚洲SAF或走出口路线
