据油价网8月20日消息称，全球的热浪已经影响了天然气供应。各国正在为今年冬天的天然气短缺做好准备。全球天然气价格正在飙升，目前欧洲的价格相当于每桶原油410美元。今年夏天的热浪和预计今年冬天的天然气短缺正在推动天然气价格越来越高。
欧洲基准天然气价格在短短三天内飙升14%，创下新的历史新高，延续了近几周来的上涨趋势，因为热浪中发电的天然气需求居高不下，管道供应仍处于较低水平，而欧盟则在冬季来临前争先恐后地填补天然气储备，这将导致能源和天然气配给、工业关闭生产，家庭为取暖和用电支付高昂的价格。
欧洲处于最不稳定的境地，但美国和亚洲的天然气价格也在上涨。天然气对电力的需求很高，美国的产量持平，而主要的亚洲买家又回到了液化天然气市场，以确保冬季的供应。
由于液化天然气现在是一种全球商品，基准天然气和现货液化天然气价格在世界各地飙升。当取暖季节来临时，它们可能会跳得更高。
欧洲的天然气价格现在相当于每桶石油410美元。
周一至周三，荷兰TTF中心的欧洲基准天然气价格上涨14%，周三上涨6%，达到每兆瓦时240美元（236欧元）的新纪录。自6月以来，天然气价格已经翻了一番。
盛宝银行（Saxo Bank）大宗商品策略负责人奥勒·汉森（Ole Hansen）本周表示，欧洲天然气基准价格目前相当于每桶原油410美元，这突显了“对该地区经济的不利影响”。
这种创纪录的天然气价格正在冲击德国和欧洲其他地区的工业，在能源成本飙升的情况下，公司宣布停产或减产“直到另行通知”。行业警告称，减少生产和运营可能导致供应链和生产链崩溃。各国政府正争先恐后地确保冬季足够的天然气供应，同时在减轻家庭成本负担和避免工业崩溃和能源公司破产浪潮之间步履维艰。
由于天然气短缺和热浪限制了其他燃料来源的供应和输出，欧洲未来一年的电价继续飙升，欧洲基准德国电价周二跃升至每兆瓦时508美元（500欧元），创下新纪录。

Europe’s Gas Price Is Now Equivalent To $410 Per Barrel Of Oil
Heatwaves across the globe have weighed on natural gas supplies.
Countries are bracing for natural gas shortages this winter.
Natural gas prices across the globe are soaring, with European prices now trading at what would be an equivalent of $410 per barrel of crude oil.

Heatwaves this summer and expected natural gas shortages this winter are driving gas prices higher and higher.
Europe's benchmark gas prices surged by 14% in just three days to a fresh record-high, continuing the upward trend from recent weeks, as gas demand for power generation is high amid heatwaves and pipeline supply remains at low levels, while the EU scrambles to fill gas storage ahead of the winter that would see energy and gas rationing, industries shutting down production, and households paying sky-high prices for heating and electricity.
Europe is in the most precarious position, but natural gas prices are rallying in the United States and Asia, too. Gas demand for power is high, and production is flat in America, while major Asian buyers are back on the LNG market to secure supplies for the winter.
As LNG is now a global commodity, benchmark gas and spot LNG prices are soaring all over the world. And they could jump even higher when the heating season approaches.
Europe's Gas Price Is Now Equivalent To $410 A Barrel Oil
Europe's benchmark gas prices at the Dutch TTF hub rallied 14% between Monday and Wednesday, jumping by 6% on Wednesday at a new record of $240 (236 euro) per megawatt-hour. Gas prices have already doubled since June.
The European gas benchmark now trades at what would be an equivalent of $410 per barrel of crude oil, which highlights "the debilitating economic impact on the region," Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, said this week.
Such record gas prices are hitting industries in Germany and the rest of Europe, with companies announcing production halts or curtailments "until further notice" amid soaring energy costs. Industries have warned that reduced production and operations could lead to a collapse of supply and production chains. Governments are scrambling to secure enough gas for the winter while walking a tight rope between alleviating the cost burdens on households and avoiding an industrial collapse and a wave of bankrupt energy companies.
As a result of the gas crunch and a heatwave constraining supply and output from other fuel sources, year-ahead electricity prices continue to soar in Europe, with German power prices, the European benchmark, jumping to over $508 (500 euro) per megawatt-hour on Tuesday—a new record.
