Energiekise: Wie teuer wird Diesel in Deutschland? Die wichtigsten Fragen und Antworten
Die USA erwägen Exportbeschränkungen auf Diesel. Am stärksten dürfte davon Europa betroffen sein. Was bedeutet das für die Preise an deutschen Tankstellen – und könnte Diesel knapp werden?
Frankfurt - Diesel prices in the United States have reached a record high of over 6.50 US dollars per gallon, just before the mid-November elections. This has caused concern for US President Donald Trump, who is now considering limitations on diesel exports. However, the move is controversial within the government. Energy Minister Chris Wright warns of the risks of a state-imposed export stop, as refineries would then reduce their processing.
Instead, he attempts to persuade refineries to voluntarily limit their exports, according to information from Bloomberg news agency. In addition, the suspension of taxes on diesel and the lifting of restrictions on selling a dark-colored diesel variant are being discussed within the US government, Bloomberg reports. This variant is typically only allowed for off-pavement use and tax-free.
Nevertheless, export restrictions on diesel are still conceivable. What would this mean for Europe and German consumers at filling stations? The Handelsblatt answers the most important questions on the topic.
