伦敦，10月28日——英国财政部周三发布的预算文件显示，英国将寻求把炼油产品纳入其新的碳进口征费，该征费定于2027年起对部分产品开始征收。
LONDON, Oct 28 - Britain will seek to include refined products in its new carbon import levy which is due to begin on some products from 2027, Treasury budget documents published on Wednesday showed.
文件称：“政府打算将碳边境调节机制（CBAM）的范围扩大至炼油产品，但需就可行性和影响进行咨询。”
"The government intends to expand the scope of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to include refined products, subject to consultation on the feasibility and impacts," the document said.
目前，CBAM拟适用于铁、钢、铝、化肥、氢、陶瓷、玻璃和水泥等碳密集型行业的产品。
The CBAM is currently due to apply to carbon-intensive products in the iron, steel, aluminium, fertiliser, hydrogen, ceramics, glass and cement sectors.
英国表示，该征费将有助于降低所谓的碳泄漏风险，避免因其他国家碳价较低或没有碳价而导致排放转移至这些国家。
Britain said the levy would help to reduce the risk of so-called carbon leakage, avoiding emissions being displaced to other countries because they have a lower or no carbon price.
文件称，纳入炼油产品“可能有助于解决彭布罗克郡、柴郡、汉普郡和亨伯地区炼油厂的碳泄漏风险，让英国企业有信心在保留和更新高附加值工业能力的同时实现脱碳”。
Including refined products "could help address carbon-leakage risks for refineries in Pembrokeshire, Cheshire, Hampshire and the Humber, giving British businesses confidence to decarbonise while retaining and renewing high-value industrial capability," the document said.
