Ineos创始人Jim Ratcliffe爵士警告欧洲领导人采取紧急行动防止该大陆化学工业崩溃, Ineos founder Sir Jim Ratcliffe is warning European leaders to take urgent action to prevent the collapse of the continent’s chemical industry, which he says is at a "tipping point." 他预测欧洲一半的乙烯生产能力到2030年可能关闭,21个主要场地已经关闭,损失容量超过1 100万吨。 He predicts half of Europe’s ethylene production capacity could close by 2030, with 21 major sites already shut down, representing over 11 million tonnes of lost capacity. 关键国家的产出急剧下降——联合王国为30%,德国为18%,法国为12%。 Output has dropped sharply in key nations—30% in the UK, 18% in Germany, and 12% in France. 拉特克里夫(Ratcliffe)将危机归咎于高能源成本、碳税和投资下降,指出全球10家最大的化学公司中有8家正在欧洲减缩,而美国所有顶级生产商都在扩张。 Ratcliffe attributes the crisis to high energy costs, carbon taxes, and declining investment, noting that eight of the world’s 10 largest chemical companies are scaling back in Europe, while all top U.S. producers are expanding. 他要求取消绿色和碳税、取消碳税和关税保护,并警告说,如果没有果断的政策改变,该行业可能会消失,威胁着120万个工作岗位和欧洲的工业基础。 He demands removal of green and carbon taxes, elimination of carbon levies, and tariff protections, warning that without decisive policy changes, the industry could vanish, threatening up to 1.2 million jobs and Europe’s industrial base.
