UK biodiesel industry attacks rejection of duties on cheaper US imports

Britain’s biodiesel producers have accused the government of sacrificing domestic green manufacturing after it declined to impose protective duties against heavily subsidised imports from the US. Business secretary Jonathan Reynolds cited an “economic interest test”, finding that while duties could benefit UK producers by £3mn a year, downstream users and consumers would face a hit of £46mn. The UK’s nascent biodiesel industry accused Reynolds of a short-term approach, contradicting Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s promises to reindustrialise Britain.

Global biodiesel production is forecast to rise 40% by 2035, with British producers accounting for 7% of the UK market and US imports roughly one-quarter. The Renewable Transport Fuel Association warned that Reynolds’s decision risks “long-term or permanent closure” of the UK’s three remaining plants. Argent Energy’s Dickon Posnett questioned the government’s intentions, asking if they want a UK biodiesel industry at all.

The RTFA is consulting lawyers over a potential challenge and plans to press the Department for Transport for stronger support. In March 2025, UK producers complained to the Trade Remedies Authority, which found harm from subsidised US imports. Reynolds rejected duties despite the evidence, citing broader public interest.

Last year, the UK granted the US a 1.4bn-litre bioethanol quota, leading to the closure of the UK’s largest bioethanol plant and 4,000 job losses.

منتجو biodiesel في بريطانيا يتهمون الحكومة بالتخلي عن التصنيع الأخضر المحلي بعد رفض فرض رسوم حماية ضد الواردات الأمريكية heavily subsidized. وزير التجارة البريطاني Jonathan Reynolds invoked an "economic interest test", concluding that while duties could benefit UK producers by £3mn a year, downstream users and consumers would face a hit of £46mn. ناشئة صناعة biodiesel في بريطانيا اتهمت Reynolds بنهج قصير المدى، متناقضًا بتعهدات رئيس الوزراء Andy Burnham بإعادة الصناعية لبريطانيا. من المتوقع أن تزداد إنتاجية biodiesel العالمية بنسبة 40% بحلول عام 2035، مع كون المنتجين البريطانيين 7% من سوق بريطانيا، واستيرادات الولايات المتحدة تمثل حوالي ربع الكمية. حذرت جمعية الوقود النقل المتجدد أن قرار Reynolds يشكل خطر "الإغلاق الدائم أو الطويل الأمد" للمصانع الثلاثة المتبقية في بريطانيا. questioned Dickon Posnett من Argent Energy النوايا الحكومية، متسائلاً عما إذا كانوا يريدون صناعة biodiesel في بريطانيا على الإطلاق. RTFA يستشير lawyers حول تحدي محتمل ويخطط لضغط وزارة النقل من أجل دعم أقوى. في مارس 2025، اشتكت منتجو بريطانيا من هيئة remedies للتجارة، التي وجدت ضررًا من الواردات الأمريكية subsidized. رفض Reynolds الرسوم رغم الأدلة، مستشهدًا بالمصلحة العامة الأوسع. العام الماضي، منحت بريطانيا الولايات المتحدة حصة bioethanol بسعة 1.4 مليار لتر، مما أدى إلى إغلاق أكبر مصنع bioethanol في بريطانيا وفقدان 4,000 وظيفة.

ব্রিটিশ বায়োডিজেল উৎপাদকদের-America থেকে heavily subsidized import-এর বিরুদ্ধে সংরক্ষণীয় duties না বরং কর্তৃপক্ষের আক্রমণ। ব্যবসা মন্ত্রী Jonathan Reynolds "economic interest test" ব্যবহার করে বলেছেন যে, যদি duties লাগে তবে UK producers প্রতি বছর £3mn লাভ পাবেন, কিন্তু downstream users এবং consumers higher prices因46mn ক্ষতি পাবেন। উন্নয়নশীল UK বায়োডিজেল উদ্যোগে Reynoldsকে small-term পদ্ধতি আপনায়ে আপমানিত করেছে, যা Prime Minister Andy Burnhamের ব্রিটेन পুনর্বনামূলক করার promisesের সাথে বিরোধিতা করে। 2035 পর্যন্ত বিশ্ব বায়োডিজেল উৎপাদন 40% বৃদ্ধির প্রjected, যেখানে UK producers UK বাজারের 7% এবং America import প্রায় চوتার। Renewable Transport Fuel Association警告 rằng Reynolds-এর decisión risk UK-এর three remaining plants-এর "long-term or permanent closure"। Argent Energy-এর Dickon Posnett সরকারের নiyetের সন্দেহ জাগিয়েছেন, জিজ্ঞেস করছেন কি তারাreally UK বায়োডিজেল উদ্যোগ চান। RTFA lawyers.session session session session session session session session session session

Los productores de biodiésel del Reino Unido acusan al gobierno de sacrificar la fabricación verde doméstica tras rechazar imponer aranceles protectores a importaciones estadounidenses muy subsidiadas. El secretario de negocios Jonathan Reynolds invocó una "prueba de interés económico", encontrando que aunque los aranceles podrían beneficiar a los productores británicos en 3 millones de libras al año, los usuarios downstream y los consumidores sufrirían un golpe de 46 millones de libras. La naciente industria de biodiésel del Reino Unido acusó a Reynolds de un enfoque a corto plazo, contradiciendo las promesas del primer ministro Andy Burnham de reindustrializar Gran Bretaña.

Se prevé que la producción mundial de biodiésel aumentará un 40% para 2035, con productores británicos representando el 7% del mercado del Reino Unido y las importaciones estadounidenses aproximadamente un cuarto. La Asociación de Combustibles de Transporte Renovable advirtió que la decisión de Reynolds corre el riesgo de "cierre a largo plazo o permanente" de las tres plantas restantes de biodiésel del Reino Unido. Dickon Posnett, de Argent Energy, cuestionó las intenciones del gobierno, preguntando si realmente quieren una industria de biodiésel en el Reino Unido.

La RTFA está consultando a abogados sobre un posible recurso y planea presionar al Departamento de Transporte por un mayor apoyo. En marzo de 2025, los productores británicos se quejaron ante la Autoridad de Remedios Comerciales, que encontró daños por importaciones estadounidenses subsidiadas. Reynolds rechazó los aranceles a pesar de las pruebas, alegando el interés público general.

El año pasado, el Reino Unido otorgó a EE. UU. un cupo de 1.400 millones de litros de bioetanol, lo que provocó el cierre de la mayor planta de bioetanol del Reino Unido y la pérdida de 4.000 empleos.

L'industrie britannique du biodiesel attaque le rejet des droits de douane américains. Le secrétaire à l'entreprise Jonathan Reynolds a invoqué un "test d'intérêt économique", concluant que bien que les droits puissent bénéficier aux producteurs britanniques de 3 millions de livres par an, les utilisateurs en aval et les consommateurs subiraient un coup de 46 millions de livres. L'industrie naissante du biodiesel du Royaume-Uni a accusé Reynolds d'approche à court terme, contredisant les promesses du Premier ministre Andy Burnham de réindustrialiser la Grande-Bretagne.

On prévoit une augmentation de 40% de la production mondiale de biodiesel d'ici 2035, avec les producteurs britanniques représentant 7% du marché britannique et les importations américaines représentant environ un quart. L'Association des carburants de transport renouvelable a mis en garde contre le risque de "fermeture à long terme ou permanente" des trois usines restantes de biodiesel du Royaume-Uni. Dickon Posnett, d'Argent Energy, a interrogé les intentions du gouvernement, se demandant s'ils veulent une industrie de biodiesel au Royaume-Uni.

La RTFA consulte des avocats sur un défi potentiel et prévoit de pressionner le Département des transports pour un soutien plus fort. En mars 2025, les producteurs britanniques se sont plaints auprès de l'Autorité des recours commerciaux, qui a trouvé des dommages causés par des importations américaines subventionnées. Reynolds a rejeté les droits malgré les preuves, invoquant l'intérêt public général.

L'année dernière, le Royaume-Uni a accordé aux États-Unis un quota de 1,4 milliard de litres de bioéthanol, entraînant la fermeture de la plus grande usine de bioéthanol du Royaume-Uni et la perte de 4 000 emplois.

ब्रिटेन के बायोडीज़ल उत्पादकों ने अमेरिका से भारी सब्सिडी वाले आयात के खिलाफ संरक्षणात्मक शुल्क न लगाने के लिए सरकार की आलोचना की है। व्यवसाय मंत्री जोनाथन रेनॉल्ड्स ने "आर्थिक हित परीक्षण" का हवाला देते हुए कहा है कि जबकि शुल्क से ब्रिटिश उत्पादकों को वार्षिक रूप से 3 लाख पाउंड का लाभ हो सकता है, लेकिन downstream उपयोगकर्ताओं और उपभोक्ताओं को उच्च कीमतों के कारण 46 लाख पाउंड का नुकसान होगा। ब्रिटेन के उभरते बायोडीज़ल उद्योग ने रेनॉल्ड्स को अल्पकालिक दृष्टिकोण के लिए जिम्मेदार ठहराया है, जो प्रधानमंत्री एंडी बर्नहम के ब्रिटेन को पुन: औद्योगिक बनाने के वादों के विपरीत है। 2035 तक वैश्विक बायोडीज़ल उत्पादन में 40% वृद्धि का अनुमान है, जिसमें ब्रिटिश उत्पादक ब्रिटेन के बाजार का 7% हिस्सा रखते हैं और अमेरिकी आयात लगभग एक चौथाई है। नवीकरणीय परिवहन ईंधन संघ ने चेतावनी दी है कि रेनॉल्ड्स का निर्णय ब्रिटेन की तीन शेष संयंत्रों के "दीर्घकालिक या स्थायी बंद" का जोखिम उठाता है। Argent Energy के Dickon Posnett ने सरकार की मंशा पर सवाल उठाया है, पूछते हुए कि क्या वे वास्तव में ब्रिटेन में बायोडीज़ल उद्योग चाहते हैं। RTFA वकीलों से परामर्श कर रहा है कि संभावित चुनौती के संबंध में और परिवहन मंत्रालय के लिए मजबूत समर्थन दबाने की योजना बना रहा है। मार्च 2025 में, ब्रिटिश उत्पादकों ने व्यापार उपचार प्राधिकरण से शिकायत की, जिसने अमेरिकी सब्सिडी वाले आयात से होने वाले नुकसान को पाया। रेनॉल्ड्स ने साक्ष्य के बावजूद शुल्क लगाने से इनकार कर दिया, सार्वजनिक हित का हवाला देते हुए। पिछले साल, ब्रिटेन ने अमेरिका को 1.4 अरब लीटर bioethanol कोटा दिया, जिससे ब्रिटेन की सबसे बड़ी bioethanol प्लांट का बंद होना और 4,000 नौकरियों का नुकसान हुआ।

英国生物柴油生产商指责政府牺牲国内绿色制造业，以抵制美国大幅补贴进口。商务大臣Jonathan Reynolds援引“经济利益测试”，认定虽然关税每年可使英国生产商获益300万英镑，但下游用户和消费者将面临4600万英镑的损失。英国初创生物柴油行业指责Reynolds采取短视做法，背离了总理Andy Burnham重工业化英国的承诺。预计到2035年全球生物柴油产量将增长40%，英国生产商占英国市场7%，美国进口占约四分之一。可再生运输燃料协会警告，Reynolds的决定冒着英国三家剩余工厂“长期或永久关闭”的风险。Argent Energy的Dickon Posnett质疑政府意图，询问他们是否想要英国生物柴油行业。RTFA正咨询律师就潜在挑战事宜，并计划向运输部施压要求提供更强支持。去年3月，英国生产商向贸易救济局投诉，该局认定美国补贴进口造成了损害。尽管有上述证据，Reynolds仍拒绝征收关税，理由是更广泛的公共利益。去年，英国授予美国14亿升生物乙醇配额，导致英国最大生物乙醇工厂关闭和4000个工作岗位流失。
