能源諮詢公司料中國2022年超越日本 晉身全球最大LNG進口國
據《路透》引述能源諮詢服務公司Rystad Energy天然氣研究部門主管Carlos Torres Diaz指出,隨著中國由新冠疫情的打擊中復蘇,而日本經濟仍處於低迷狀態,中國可能比預期更快取代日本成為全球最大液化天然氣(LNG)進口國。
Rystad Energy現預測中國將在2022年超越日本,屆時兩國進口量分別為8,010萬噸及7,430萬噸。許多分析師則是預測在2025年左右。
周三(17日)公布的官方數據顯示,由於疫情造成經濟活動中斷,日本5月LNG進口跌至450萬噸的十一年低點。據路孚特船舶追蹤資料顯示,中國5月進口560萬噸LNG。數據顯示,中國6月料將進口540萬噸LNG,日本則為500萬噸;另2020年上半年日本LNG進口量料為3,610萬噸,中國為3,080萬噸,但兩者差距可能縮小。
Torres Diaz稱,由於中國今年擴充再氣化能力,而且經濟復甦速度較快,有可能從今年起中國的進口量將更高。
