-- マレーシアは、燃料価格の高騰を緩和する取り組みの一環として、6月からバイオディーゼルの混合比率をB15に引き上げ、輸送用ディーゼル燃料中のパーム油含有率を15%に引き上げると、日経アジアレビューが月曜日にアハマド・ザヒド・ハミディ副首相の発言を引用して報じた。 同報道によると、この措置はB10からB12への引き上げに続くもので、数年以内に段階的にB20まで引き上げられる見込みであり、再生可能燃料の利用拡大に伴い、長期的にはB50を目指す可能性もあるという。 この政策転換は、中東情勢の緊迫化に伴う世界的な原油価格の変動の中で行われる。原油価格の変動は、国内のディーゼル燃料価格を急騰させているが、一部地域では依然として補助金が支給されている。当局者によると、今回の拡大は既存の製油所インフラを活用し、パーム油産業を支援しつつ化石燃料への依存度を低減するという、より広範な戦略の一環となる、と日経は伝えている。 (マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話から得られた情報に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれている可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。)
