澳大利亚气候委员会发布《Crude Awakening》报告，指出在全球燃料危机期间，澳大利亚在柴油和汽油进口上支付了远高于其他国家的额外成本，引发对能源安全的担忧 1。数据显示，在3月至8月间，澳大利亚因进口柴油多花费了90亿澳元，这一数字远超巴西的35亿澳元和英国的30亿澳元 1。此外，汽油进口带来的额外支出也达到16亿澳元，相当于每人承担56澳元的成本 1。
报告强调，澳大利亚是世界上最依赖海运柴油进口的国家，其90%的柴油供应需依靠进口 1。尽管电动汽车和混合动力汽车的普及已帮助该国节省了17亿澳元，并实现每周减少1740万升燃油消耗，但转型进程仍面临基础设施落后等挑战 1。目前，电动卡车仅占澳大利亚新车销量的0.7%，远低于全球9%的平均水平；同时，每41辆电动车才有一个公共充电桩，而全球平均比例为1:11 1。气候委员会经济学家Nicki Hutley表示，依赖进口石油将能源安全置于他人手中，建议通过电气化和取消柴油税收抵免来应对未来燃料冲击 1。
Australia paid an extra 9 billion AUD on imported diesel between March and August, a figure significantly higher than the additional costs incurred by Brazil (3.5 billion AUD) and the UK (3 billion AUD). 1 The country also spent an additional 1.6 billion AUD on gasoline imports during this global fuel crisis period, which equates to roughly 56 AUD per person. 1 These findings come from the Climate Council’s report titled "Crude Awakening," which evaluates Australia's energy security against its heavy reliance on seaborne diesel imports. 1
The report highlights that diesel imports account for 90% of Australia's total supply, making it the largest importer of seaborne diesel in the world. 1 While the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles has already saved Australians approximately 1.7 billion AUD—equivalent to saving 17.4 million liters of fuel weekly—the transition remains slow. 1 Electric trucks constitute only 0.7% of new sales in Australia, far below the global average of 9%, and there is one public charging station for every 41 electric vehicles, compared to a global ratio of 1:11. 1
Nicki Hutley, an economist at the Climate Council, warned that dependence on imported oil places energy security in the hands of other nations. 1 She recommended accelerating electrification and removing diesel tax credits as key strategies to mitigate future fuel shocks and enhance long-term independence. 1
