石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社首爾12月19日消息，由于強勁的發電需求，韓國的液化天然氣（LNG）進口量將在2018年創下逾4200萬噸的歷史新高，但明年的出貨量可能因煤炭和核能的增加而減少。。 韓國是僅次于日本和中國的世界第三大液化天然氣進口國，每年通常需要3300萬至3700萬噸液化天然氣，主要用于供暖、發電和烹飪。 根據Refinitiv Eikon的船舶追蹤數據，今年預計進口4280萬噸液化天然氣，較去年的3760萬噸增加了13.8％。 該國海關數據顯示，這將超過2013年近4000萬噸的液化天然氣進口量。就在那一年，韓國因部件故障引發安全問題，導致一系列核反應堆關閉，天然氣發電量增加。 KTB Investment＆Securities駐首爾的分析師Shin Ji-yoon表示：“今年發電用天然氣大幅增加，因為韓國的核能利用率最低，因此天然氣等其他能源必須填補這一空白?！?據路透社根據國營韓國水利核能公司數據計算，今年上半年，韓國24座核反應堆中平均有近一半因計劃維修而關閉。截至目前，已有6座反應堆關閉。 韓國水利核能公司數據顯示，2018年前三季度，韓國核電利用率降至63.6％，為歷史最低水平。 陳菲 摘譯自 路透社 原文如下： S.Korea’s 2018 LNG imports to hit record high over 42 mln T South Korea’s imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are set to reach an all-time high over 42 million tonnes in 2018 thanks to robust power generation demand, but next year’s shipments are likely to ebb on increased coal and nuclear power. South Korea, the world’s No.3 LNG importer after Japan and China, typically takes between 33 million and 37 million tonnes of LNG a year, mainly for heating, power generation and cooking. This year, a volume of 42.8 million tonnes of LNG is the expected intake, up 13.8 percent from 37.6 million tonnes last year, according to ship-tracking data from Refinitiv Eikon. That would top 2013 LNG import levels of nearly 40 million tonnes, the country’s customs data showed. That was the year South Korea faced a series of nuclear reactor shutdowns due to a safety scandal over faulty parts, which led to an increase in gas power generation. “Gas usage for power generation sharply rose this year because the country’s nuclear utilization rate was the lowest so other power sources like gas had to fill the void,” said Shin Ji-yoon, an analyst at KTB Investment & Securities in Seoul. In the six months of the year, an average of almost half of the country’s 24 nuclear reactors were offline for planned maintenance, according to Reuters calculations based on data from state-run Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. As of now, six reactors are shut down. South Korea’s nuclear utilization rates dropped to just 63.6 percent for the first three quarters of 2018, the lowest rate ever, according to the Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power data. ?
