IEA：2023年液化天然气市场将更加紧张

据油价网9月30日消息称，国际能源署(IEA)执行主任Fatih Birol周四表示，与2022年已经紧张的液化天然气市场相比，明年全球液化天然气市场可能会更加紧张。

为了减少对管道天然气的依赖，欧洲近几个月大幅增加了液化天然气的进口。今年6月，在莫斯科削减对欧洲的供应后，欧盟从美国进口的液化天然气有史以来第一次超过了通过管道进口的天然气。

据路透社报道，国际能源署的比罗尔在日本举行的液化天然气生产者-消费者会议上表示，今年到目前为止，欧洲的液化天然气进口增长了60%。

“去年，产能大国天然气占我们天然气进口的40%。如今，管道天然气的比例降至9%。”欧盟委员会主席在本月早些时候的2022年国情咨文演讲中表示。

欧洲在未来几年也将需要更多的液化天然气供应，这将使其与亚洲形成竞争，并使全球市场吃紧。

IEA: LNG Market To Be Even Tighter In 2023

The global liquefied natural gas market could be even tighter next year compared to already tight LNG markets in 2022, Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), said on Thursday.

Europe, looking to slash its dependence on pipeline gas, has significantly boosted imports of LNG in recent months. In June, for the first time ever, the European Union imported more LNG from the United States than gas via pipeline, after Moscow slashed supply to Europe.

So far this year, Europe has seen a 60% spike in LNG imports, the IEA’s Birol said at the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference in Japan, as carried by Reuters.  

“Last year, gas accounted for 40% of our gas imports. Today it’s down to 9% pipeline gas,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in the 2022 State of the Union speech earlier this month.

Europe will need a lot more LNG supply in the coming years, too, which puts it in competition with Asia and tightens the global market.
