石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據hellenic shipping news2月26日報道,殼牌(Shell)最新的年度LNG展望顯示，亞洲對清潔燃料的強勁需求繼續推動2018年液化天然氣(LNG)使用的快速增長，全球需求增加2700萬噸，至3.19億噸。殼牌預計到2020年需求將達到3.84億噸左右。 到2019年，全球LNG供應將增加3500萬噸。預計歐洲和亞洲都將吸收所有這些額外供應。2018年新增長期LNG合同的反彈，可能會恢復對液化項目的投資。根據目前的需求預測，殼牌仍預計供應將在本世紀20年代中期趨緊。 為改善城市空氣質量，中國在2018年的LNG進口量激增了1600萬噸，比2017年增加了40%。 在供應方面，澳大利亞LNG出口在2018年底趕上長期領先供應商卡塔爾，預計2019年將增加1000萬噸。這兩個國家都具備向亞洲迅速發展的經濟體供應天然氣的良好條件，它們需要通過取代燃煤發電和供暖來改善空氣質量。 過去幾年，中國LNG進口量的持續飆升，幫助改善了中國一些大城市的空氣質量。殼牌公司的綜合天然氣和新能源總監Maarten Wetselaar說：“中國成功地為數百萬人提供了更清潔的空氣，這表明天然氣在向世界提供更多、更清潔的能源方面可以發揮關鍵作用?！?“我們看到，2018年亞洲LNG需求增長再次超出預期，我們預計這種強勁增長將持續下去。對新供應項目的投資正在回升，但很快將需要更多?！?過去幾十年，隨著越來越多的國家轉向天然氣以滿足日益增長的能源需求，LNG在全球能源體系中發揮了重要作用。LNG貿易從2000年的1億噸增加到2018年的3.19億噸。 孔麗煒 摘譯自hellenic shipping news 原文如下： Need For Cleaner Air Driving Strong LNG Demand Growth Strong demand for cleaner-burning fuel in Asia continued to drive rapid growth in liquefied natural gas (LNG) use in 2018, with global demand rising by 27 million tonnes to 319 million tonnes, according to Shell’s latest annual LNG Outlook. Shell expects demand to reach about 384 million tonnes in 2020. Global LNG supply is set to rise by 35 million tonnes in 2019. Both Europe and Asia are expected to absorb all this additional supply. A rebound in new long-term LNG contracting in 2018 could revive investment in liquefaction projects. Based on current demand projections, Shell still expects supplies to tighten in mid-2020s. Ongoing efforts to improve urban air quality saw China’s imports of LNG surge by 16 million tonnes in 2018, up by 40% from 2017. On the supply side, Australian LNG exports caught up with those of long-time leading supplier Qatar towards the end of 2018 and are expected to rise by 10 million tonnes in 2019. Both countries are well-positioned to supply rapidly developing economies across Asia with gas they need to improve air quality by displacing coal-fired power and heating. “The continued surge in Chinese LNG imports has helped improve air quality in some of its biggest cities over the last few years. China’s success in making the air cleaner for millions of people shows the critical role that natural gas can play in providing more and cleaner energy to the world,” said Maarten Wetselaar, Integrated Gas and New Energies Director at Shell. “We saw Asian LNG demand growth exceed expectations again in 2018 and we expect this strong growth to continue. Investment in new supply projects is picking up, but more will be needed soon.” LNG has played an important role in the global energy system over the last few decades, as an increasing number of countries have turned to natural gas to meet their growing energy needs. LNG trade increased from 100 million tonnes in 2000 to 319 million tonnes in 2018. ?
