Crépeau还展示了柴油燃料过滤器堵塞与FAME含量的实验室

如Hamje所说，这可能是欧洲没能达标的主要原因。但她也提

之间，欧盟对炼制产品的需求将下降1.65亿吨，部分是因为汽车
燃料经济性的提升及替代燃料的使用。
Hamje 和 Crépeau都认为为了取得必要的进展，OEM和油品
公司应该采取更为一体化的方法，制定法规时也必须考虑汽车的
需求。

have the plugging effect that FAME does.
Going forward, Crépeau advocated that EN590, the
European specification for diesel fuel, should include
a note recommending controlling the level of FAME in
the winter, because these cloud point issues happen at
cooler temperatures, as well as a requirement for a filter
blocking test or a centrifugation test after cold soak. It
would also be beneficial, he said, to increase the Research
Octane Number (RON) for biofuel blends. “The current
specifications are not sufficient, [and] are not in line with
vehicles,” he said.
This is likely a main reason why, as Hamje said,
Europe is not on track to meet its legislative targets. She
mentioned, however, several areas of progress: “We
think that fossil fuels are going to dominate mainstream
road transport for some time to come, but we do see that
vehicles are going to improve, and we are going to see,
we think, diversification of the on-road fleet.” Additionally,
Concawe predicted that demand in the EU for refined
products will decline by 165 million metric tonnes between
2005 and 2030, due in part to improved vehicle fuel
economy and the use of alternative fuels.
Hamje and Crépeau agree that in order to make the
necessary progress, original equipment manufacturers
and oil companies will have to take a more integrative
approach, and that regulations must be made with the
needs of the vehicles in mind.
“Appropriate market fuel standards are essential,”
Crépeau said, “to ensure proper technical functioning
of all vehicles, in the marketplace, new and old, in all
applications and over all seasons.”
