Antonio ValleSpir是Vertex Bioenergy的首席执行官，西班牙和法国的主要生物乙醇和DDGS生产国。他在生物燃料部门拥有超过18年的经验。
At the World Ethanol & Biofuels conference, we had the opportunity to ask Antonio about the political attitude towards ethanol in Europe and his expectation for growth Spain and across the continent.
“In Spain particularly, we believe we have the opportunity to start developing and implementing E10. I think probably next year will be a transition year, but we do expect an increase of about 30-40 million litres of ethanol demand.”
问：您目前对欧洲乙醇的政治态度有何评估？
Antonio ValleSpir：我认为欧洲支持乙醇，我认为这是减缓和减少温室气体排放的经过验证，经济效益的工具。我认为我们有机会更加支持所有会员国的法规，只有一个速度在欧洲发展e10和更高的混合物。今天，我认为有一些成员国在高速发展的E10中，其他一些成员国在开发较低的E10中。
问：在2020年代，您希望在欧洲和西班牙乙醇消费中看到多少增长？
ValleSpir：很难说，但我们期望在欧洲增加约300-400万升，因为若干国家的汽油消费量增加和汽油消费量增加。在西班牙特别是，我们相信我们有机会开始发展和实施。我认为明年可能是过渡年，但我们预计增加约30-40万升乙醇的需求。
问：欧盟双重计数系统的顶点优势与其葡萄酒酒精单位。你对双重计数的看法是什么？
ValleSpir：For us double counting on the ethanol side is a very small market. We don’t have too much raw material available. It is something that we do not think is the solution to decarbonising the transport sector. We see it as something which is complimentary for our customers. It is not a tool on the ethanol side to really decarbonise the transport sector.
Q: How important are alternative revenue streams to Vertex’s business model?
ValleSpir：I think it is very important, because it is important to diversify our portfolio, and it’s something that allows us to be more resilient in the market. Also, as you know, animal feed in Europe is a market with a lack of protein, and our co-generation provides us with a better break-even. In short, you can be more competitive, and you are more able to diversify your portfolio.
