疫情對商用噴氣燃料產(chǎn)生顯著影響

據(jù)烴加工網(wǎng)站8月7日消息 美國能源信息署（EIA）最近開始采用航空公司Cirium提供的數(shù)據(jù)，這些數(shù)據(jù)詳細說明了2019年1月以來每一次定期商業(yè)客運航班，包括飛行的飛機類型及其航線。EIA利用每一次飛行的始發(fā)地和目的地的數(shù)據(jù)，估算了每一次飛行所消耗的噴氣燃料量，并對這些飛行進行了匯總，以估計全球商業(yè)客運航班消耗的噴氣燃料總量。

EIA估計，7月前兩周，商業(yè)客運航班的噴氣燃料消耗量平均為160萬桶/天，比一年前減少69%。全球?qū)姎馊剂闲枨蟮淖畲蠓认陆蛋l(fā)生在3月和4月，這與最初加大力度緩解疫情擴散的努力一致。全球范圍內(nèi)，商業(yè)客運航班的噴氣燃料消耗量在2月至3月期間下降了70萬桶/天，在3月至4月期間下降了240萬桶/天，但5月和6月的需求僅增長了10萬桶/天和30萬桶/天。在某些地區(qū)和國家也出現(xiàn)了類似的趨勢。

COVID-19’s impact on commercial jet fuel demand has been significant

Efforts to contain the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have dramatically changed global commercial passenger flight volumes. These flights averaged a little more than 70,000 flights per day in January and February, fell to an average of less than 25,000 flights per day in April, and then started to increase again in May. Commercial jet fuel consumption showed a similar pattern, falling from an average of 4.3 million barrels per day (b/d) in January and February to 1.0 million b/d in April.

To estimate global changes in jet fuel consumption, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently began using data from aviation company Cirium that detail each scheduled commercial passenger flight, including the type of aircraft flown and its route, since January 2019. Using data on each flight’s origin and destination, EIA estimated the volume of jet fuel consumed by each flight and summed these flights to estimate the total volume of jet fuel consumed globally by commercial passenger flights.

EIA estimates that consumption of jet fuel by commercial passenger flights averaged 1.6 million b/d during the first two weeks of July, 69% less than the level one year ago. The largest decline in global demand for jet fuel occurred during March and April, coinciding with the initial, intensified efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Globally, consumption of jet fuel by commercial passenger flights declined by 0.7 million b/d between February and March and by 2.4 million b/d between March and April, although demand grew by only 0.1 million b/d in May and 0.3 million b/d in June. Similar trends are also occurring at the region and country levels.
