据油价网1月26日消息称，壳牌将关闭位于鹿特丹的 Pernis 炼油厂的一个关键加工装置，为欧洲最大炼油厂的季节性维护做准备。
彭博社援引一位熟悉该超级巨头计划的未具名消息人士的话说，维护操作将涉及两个高真空装置，它们为生产柴油和汽油的炼油厂装置提供原料。
报告称，在欧洲西北部汽油和柴油价格已经在攀升的情况下，维修操作可能会推高它们的价格。
Pernis是全球最大的石油加工设施，其次是英国石油的鹿特丹炼油厂，日加工能力为40万桶原油。壳牌的一份声明称，预计产能将一直下降到6月。
壳牌去年宣布，它将更名为鹿特丹炼油厂壳牌能源和化工园区，并在那里建造欧洲最大的生物燃料设施。该公司当时表示，新设施将有能力从废物中生产可再生柴油以及可持续的航空燃料。
此举是壳牌在可再生能源领域的努力的一部分，荷兰法院的一项裁决大大加速了这一努力。该裁决要求这家超级巨头在未来10年大幅限制其排放足迹。
因此，壳牌计划到2030年将传统燃料的产量减少55%，并提高生物燃料的产量。该公司去年9月表示，鹿特丹的生产设施将于2024年投入运营。

Shell To Reduce Output At Europe’s Biggest Oil Refinery
Shell will shut down a key processing unit at its Pernis refinery in Rotterdam as it prepares for seasonal maintenance at Europe’s biggest refinery.
Bloomberg reported, citing an unnamed source familiar with the supermajor’s plans, that the maintenance operations would involve two high-vacuum units that produce feedstock for the refinery units that make diesel and gasoline.
The maintenance operation, according to the report, could boost prices for gasoline and diesel in northwestern Europe at a time when they are already on the climb.
Pernis is the largest oil-processing facility, followed by BP’s Rotterdam refinery, and has the capacity to process 400,000 bpd of crude oil. This capacity is expected to remain reduced until June, according to a statement from Shell.
Shell last year announced that it would rename the refinery Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam and build the biggest biofuels facility in Europe there. The company said at the time that the new facility would have the capacity to produce renewable diesel from waste as well as sustainable aviation fuel.
The move was part of Shell’s renewables push that was significantly accelerated by a Dutch court ruling that ordered the supermajor to curb its emission footprint considerably over the next ten years.
As a result, Shell plans, among other things, to reduce the production of traditional fuels by as much as 55 percent by 2030 and boost production of biofuels. The Rotterdam production facility should become operational in 2024, the company said last September.
