德国提前达到75%的储气目标

据油价网8月15日报道，来自欧洲天然气基础设施的数据显示，德国在8月中旬实现了其天然气储存75%的目标，比计划提前两周。

数据显示，截至8月14日，德国天然气储存库的存量刚刚超过76%。作为欧洲最大的经济体，该国的存储容量约为233亿立方米，超过2021年1000亿立方米消费量的五分之一。

75%的完整存储目标定于9月1日达到，但德国现在提前了。储气库的下一个目标是到10月初达到85%，到11月初达到95%的储气量。

尽管比计划提前达到了第一个75%的目标，但德国仍处于三个阶段的天然气紧急警报的第二阶段，因为该国希望在冬季之前尽可能节约天然气，以避免未来几个月的配给。如果产能大国通过管道的天然气流量在本已大幅减少的基础上进一步下降，情况可能会恶化。

渣打银行分析师表示，尽管通过管道输送的天然气水平较低，但欧盟天然气库存“仍在相对强劲地增加”。

然而，尽管天然气库存有所增加，但德国和欧洲其他国家的工业一直警告称，由于天然气危机，它们可能不得不减产，这可能导致供应链和生产链崩溃。

Germany Hits 75% Gas In Storage Goal Ahead Of Schedule

Germany reached in the middle of August its target to have its natural gas storage 75% full, two weeks ahead of plans, data from Gas Infrastructure Europe showed.

As of August 14, Germany's gas storage sites were just over 76% full, according to the data. Storage capacity in Europe's biggest economy is around 23.3 billion cubic meters (bcm), more than one-fifth of the German consumption of 100 bcm in 2021.  

The 75% full storage target was set to be reached by September 1, but Germany is now ahead of schedule. The next targets for gas storage filling are to reach 85% by the beginning of October and 95% gas in storage by the start of November.  

Despite reaching the first 75% target earlier than planned, Germany continues to be in stage two of a three-stage gas emergency alert as it looks to conserve as much gas as possible ahead of the winter to avoid rationing in the coming months. The situation could deteriorate if the gas flows via the pipeline drop further from already significantly reduced volumes.

According to Standard Chartered analysts, despite the low levels of Russian deliveries via Nord Stream, EU gas inventories are "still building relatively strongly."

Yet, despite the gas stock builds, industries in Germany and the rest of Europe have been warning they may have to curtail production amid the gas crisis, which could lead to a collapse of supply and production chains.
