欧盟能源与住房事务专员丹·约根森周三表示，随着地缘政治紧张局势推高能源价格，欧盟将致力于提高本土炼油产能并增加燃料产量。
The EU will work to increase domestic refining capacity and boost fuel production as geopolitical tensions drive up energy prices, European Commissioner for Energy and Housing Dan Jorgensen said Wednesday.
约根森在布鲁塞尔的一场新闻发布会上说：“由于地缘政治动荡，欧洲再次面临一场能源危机。”
“Once again, due to geopolitical turbulence, Europe faces another energy crisis,” Jorgensen told a press conference in Brussels.
他表示，原油和石油产品价格在全球范围内大幅上涨，给欧洲家庭和企业带来压力。
He said crude oil and petroleum product prices had increased significantly worldwide, putting pressure on European households and businesses.
“欧盟的燃料账单正在飙升，”他说，并补充称全球柴油市场预计将一直紧张到2027年，使价格维持高位。
“Fuel bills in the EU are skyrocketing,” he said, adding that the global diesel market is expected to remain tight well into 2027, keeping prices high.
约根森表示，尽管市场环境严峻，欧洲炼油厂在保障供应安全方面发挥了至关重要的作用，包括航空燃油。
Jorgensen said European refineries had played a vital role in ensuring security of supply, including jet fuel, despite challenging market conditions.
他指出，过去二十年里约四分之一的欧盟炼油厂已经关闭，使本土炼油产能减少约10%，同时资产剥离在整个欧洲加速。
He noted that around a quarter of EU refineries had shut down over the past two decades, reducing domestic refining capacity by around 10%, while divestments had accelerated across Europe.
“但这场危机是一记警钟：我们需要扭转这一趋势，确保欧洲拥有充足且灵活的炼油产能。无论是现在还是未来，”他说。
“But this crisis is a wake-up call: We need to counter this trend and ensure that we have adequate and flexible refining capacity in Europe. Today and for the future,” he said.
约根森强调，炼油产能不仅关乎经济竞争力，也关乎安全，并指出需要为公民、企业和国防提供可靠且负担得起的燃料供应。
Jorgensen stressed that refining capacity was not only a matter of economic competitiveness but also of security, highlighting the need for reliable and affordable fuel supplies for citizens, businesses and defense.
他说，欧盟委员会将继续与该行业进行技术讨论，并于明年初再次开会评估进展。
The Commission will continue technical discussions with the sector and reconvene early next year to assess progress, he said.
“我们将努力提高欧洲炼油资产的产量。业界提出了一些建议，我们需要加以评估，”他补充道。
“We will work to increase outputs from refining assets in Europe. The industry has made some suggestions that we need to assess,” he added.
约根森表示，随着欧盟推进脱碳，欧盟还将审视炼油行业的长期未来，重点是扩大生物燃料和电子燃料的生产。
Jorgensen said the EU would also examine the long-term future of the refining sector as the bloc pursues decarbonization, with a focus on expanding the production of biofuels and e-fuels.
“可再生液体燃料的生产已经弥补了欧洲炼油产能的部分下降。潜力巨大，”他说。
“The production of renewable liquid fuels has already compensated some of the reduction in Europe’s refinery capacity. The potential is significant,” he said.
