Energiekise: Wie teuer wird Diesel in Deutschland?
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 more than $6.50 per gallon, just before the midterm elections in November. This has reportedly caused concerns for US President Donald Trump, who is now considering restricting diesel exports. However, the proposal within the government is controversial, with Energy Minister Chris Wright warning of the risks of a state-imposed export ban.
He suggests instead convincing refineries to voluntarily limit their exports. Bloomberg reports that the US government is also discussing suspending taxes on diesel and lifting restrictions on the sale of a dark-colored diesel variant, which is typically only allowed for off-road use and tax-exempt.
These developments raise questions about the implications for Europe and consumers at German gas stations. The Handelsblatt answers the most important questions on the topic.
