生物燃料最新动态:原油价格走强提振需求,大豆油和棕榈油价格上涨

By

-- 周四,芝加哥大豆油和马来西亚棕榈油价格走势一致,均跟随原油价格上涨,原油价格上涨持续提振了生物燃料的需求。 芝加哥期货交易所5月大豆油合约上涨0.95%,至每磅68.24美分,与5月大豆合约走势背离。大豆合约早盘下跌0.15%,至每蒲式耳11.65美元。 美国大豆价格也受到强劲的大豆压榨量的支撑。据报道,美国国家油籽加工商协会的数据显示,3月份大豆压榨量环比增长8.3%,同比增长16.3%,达到2.262亿蒲式耳。 此外,计划于下月举行的特朗普-习近平峰会也提振了市场情绪。此前,美国总统特朗普表示,中国已同意不向伊朗提供武器,两国关系似乎正在改善,因此此次峰会极有可能举行。 市场预期中国将增加对美国大豆的采购。 据价格报告机构MySteel称,美国大豆种植的天气相关风险也可能推高价格,市场参与者已将雨天风险溢价计入价格。 然而,巴西创纪录的丰收将继续对价格构成压力。巴西国家供应公司Conab预计该国大豆产量将达到1.779亿吨,而彭博社调查的分析师预计产量为1.79亿吨。 在亚洲,受豆油价格上涨以及生物柴油掺混比例增加导致国内需求走强的预期提振,马来西亚棕榈油期货周四收高。 马来西亚衍生品交易所5月原棕榈油合约上涨0.38%,至每吨4443马来西亚林吉特(1123.96美元)。6月合约上涨0.09%,至每吨4476林吉特。 据Oilworld报道,Sunvin集团大宗商品研究主管Anilkumar Bagani表示,政府决定将生物柴油掺混比例从10%提高到12%,再提高到15%,此举将提振本地需求,但并未显著提振市场情绪,因为交易员此前预期掺混比例至少会提高到20%。 据《星报》报道,马来西亚棕榈油局局长Ahmad Parveez表示,掺混比例首次提高2%可使生物柴油需求每年增加13万吨,接下来的3%增幅则可能再增加20万吨。 Parveez告诉该通讯社,分阶段实施的计划是一种“稳妥”的做法,旨在避免增加财政负担,同时充分利用现有的掺混设施。 据报道,15%的掺混比例可以吸收180万吨原棕榈油,相当于国内2000万吨总产量的9%。 继印尼计划自7月1日起将生物柴油强制掺混比例从目前的40%提高到50%,以及泰国决定将生物柴油掺混比例从目前的5%提高到7%之后,马来西亚也采取了相应措施。 尽管生物燃料的使用量不断扩大,但据Trading Economics援引货运调查机构的数据,马来西亚4月上半月的生物燃料出货量预计比上月下降了34%。 由于棕榈油参考价格上涨,马来西亚计划5月将出口关税从4月的9.5%提高到10%,这可能会进一步削弱其出口竞争力。 MySteel表示,由于出口量下降,而未来几个月产量预计将会增加,“棕榈油短期内预计将在区间内疲软波动”。 在美国,由于周产量趋于稳定而出口量下降,纽约商品交易所(NYMEX)5月交割的乙醇期货价格周三再次下跌0.91%,至每加仑1.91美元。 美国能源信息署报告称,截至4月10日当周,美国乙醇产量与前一周持平,为每日112万桶。 与此同时,出口量从前一周的每日20.3万桶降至每日8.1万桶。 国内库存也保持稳定,为2610万桶。

Crude Oil Prices Rise on Stalled U.S.-Iran Peace Talks

Crude oil prices rose on Monday as talks to end the war between the U.S. and Iran remain frozen and flows through the crucial Strait of Hormuz continue to be disrupted.Brent crude at last look gained 2.7% to US$108.17/barrel and West Texas Intermediate crude climbed 2.4% to $96.63/barrel. The U.S. and Iran appear to still be far apart on issues including Iran's nuclear ambitions and the reopening of the strait, Reuters said in a Monday report."The diplomatic stand-off means that every day 10-13 million barrels of oil fail to get to the international market, worsening an already tight oil balance. Therefore, there is only one direction for oil prices to go," Reuters quoted PVM Oil Associates analyst Tamas Varga as saying.Goldman Sachs raised its fourth-quarter oil price forecasts to $90/barrel for Brent and $83/barrel for WTI, citing reduced output from the Middle East, the report said.

Japan Resorts to More Coal, Nuclear During Energy Crisis Sidelines Renewables, Says IEEFA

Japan is leaning on higher nuclear output and ramping up use of coal in power generation as contingency measures in the face of the global energy crisis, but these measures are simultaneously smothering renewables, the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis said on Monday.Temporary increased use of coal was decided upon to reduce the need for now-scarce LNG while the restart of some nuclear power plants is also providing additional resilience to supply shocks which have hit Asian nations hardest.IEEFA said this risks displacing domestic renewable energy which can supply just as much energy security but lower cost and it could also increase curtailment and undermine investment in more renewables, up-ending progress on decarbonization.Most of Japan's coal imports, about 71%, come from Australia, making it a safe option that reduces exposure to disrupted Middle Eastern logistics, the IEEFA report noted.But a shortage of diesel for plant operations at J-Power's Matsuura 2 gigawatt coal-fired power station slashed its output by 50% while the JFE Steel Fukuyama facility was halted over a shortage of heavy oil, underscoring that coal is not fully detached from oil and gas's geopolitical risk.Japan typically imports 4 million tons of LNG that pass through the Strait of Hormuz each year, representing about 6% of its total imports.As of March, 15 of Japan's 36 nuclear reactors were operating, as that sector recovers from the multiple impacts of the Fukushima disaster.They generate a combined 37 GW. Bringing the remainder online could cut Japan's LNG needs by 12.5 million tonnes, IEEFA said. Regulatory changes in early April were introduced, facilitating more restarts.Backing up its argument that more coal and nuclear, both less flexible power sources, could increase curtailment of renewables, IEEFA said that each nuclear restart in Japan has been followed by a reduction in renewables generation.Curtailments in Japan have risen to 1.9 terrawatt hours by 2023, up from 100 GWh in 2018. In the first half of 2025, curtailments were faster still at 1.7 terrawatt hours for a six-month period.The fact that output from coal and nuclear can not rapidly be increased or slowed means it can be difficult to make room for renewable supply on the grid when its output rises.IEEFA said that limitations in Japan's grid infrastructure is an additional constraint that limits absorption of renewable power and led to a situation in March where it curtailed renewables while importing power from abroad.IEEFA suggests that the addition of battery storage to the grid could go some way to boosting its flexibility.Curtailment of renewables output has another inherent problem in that it leads to a less favourable economic case for later additions of zero carbon generation capacity, the report said, all the more so because Japan does not compensate renewables suppliers for curtailments, a practice common in Europe.Developers are adding battery storage as a work-around to that, securing contracts that remunerate battery-discharged electricity instead of directly generated then consumed electricity.The addition of batteries adds to project costs however at a time when investor interest has yet to turn into large scale deployment, with erosion of revenue support measures a further deterrent, IEEFA said.
