据外媒6月16日消息,惠誉国际评级公司大中华地区能源和公用事业负责人Renee Lam称,在汽车销售放缓造成消费减少的情况下,汽油生产过剩将抑制短期内中国汽油需求的增长。她表示,今年迄今为止中国汽油产量增长约10%-11%,而需求仅增长约4%-5%。大部分过剩产量是由独立炼油厂造成的。很多独立炼油厂商已重新配置业务,以生产更多汽油而非柴油。她还表示:“考虑到未来一年将有更多炼油产能投产,预计中国炼油行业将面临挑战。”

China's Gasoline Demand to Face Challenges: Fitch
[Dow Jones] Overproduction of gasoline amid shrinking consumption due to a slowdown in auto sales will stunt China's gasoline demand growth in the near term, says Renee Lam, head of energy and utilities of Greater China in Fitch Ratings. She says year-to-date, China's output of gasoline has risen about 10% to 11% while demand has only grown about 4% to 5%. Most of the surplus is contributed by independent refiners known as teapots, many of whom have reconfigured their operations to produce more gasoline than diesel. "Given there will more refining capacity coming online next year, we see challenges ahead for China's refining industry," she adds.
