石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据WENews网站1月13日休斯顿报道，美国石油学会(API)表示，美国预计今年将成为全球第三大液化天然气（LNG）出口国，这将在国内创造就业机会，同时减少排放，为世界各国提供可靠的能源。 API、美国液化天然气中心和液化天然气联盟——这三个专门从事美国LNG的国家贸易协会——日前就2019年美国LNG的非凡发展发表了一份史无前例的联合声明。 API负责市场开发的副总裁托德•斯尼奇勒表示：“自2016年以来，美国LNG出口的大幅增长继续为美国乃至世界各地带来巨大利益。随着LNG出口能力在2019年增加近一倍，美国今年有望成为全球领先的天然气供应国。” 托德说：“美国的LNG货物已经运往全球近30个国家，随着全球LNG需求的迅速增长，我们预计未来几年将有更多的国家从美国的LNG中获益，包括从减少排放量中获益。” 美国液化天然气中心常务董事查理•里德表示：“美国LNG行业将在2019年迎来显著增长，多个美国项目的投产将使美国对日益增长的全球市场的出口增加近一倍。由于美国拥有庞大的天然气资源基础，美国在向全球急切需求的合作伙伴提供天然气方面处于独特的地位。” 查理补充道：“正如美国能源部最近的NERA研究结果表明的那样，即使出口增长，2040年的天然气价格预计也只会比2010年略高一点。最重要的是，出口带来的积极经济效益将大大超过温和的价格上涨。 李峻 编译自 WENews.com 原文如下： US to Become Third Largest LNG Exporter in 2019 The coming year is expected to make the U.S. the third largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the world, creating jobs stateside while reducing emissions and providing reliable energy to countries around the world, said American Petroleum Institute (API).
API, Center for LNG, and LNG Allies, the three national trade associations specializing in U.S. LNG, today issued a first-of-its-kind joint statement on the extraordinary developments expected in U.S. LNG in 2019.
Todd Snitchler, Vice President of Market Development at the American Petroleum Institute, said: “The dramatic expansion of U.S. LNG exports since 2016 continues to deliver tremendous benefits across America and around the world. With LNG export capacity set to nearly double in 2019, the United States is poised to become a leading global supplier.”
“U.S. LNG cargoes have already been delivered to nearly 30 countries around the globe, and with global LNG demand rapidly rising, we expect even more countries to reap the benefits—including reduced emissions—from U.S. LNG in the years to come,” Todd added.
Charlie Riedl, Executive Director of the Center for LNG, said: “The U.S. LNG industry is primed for remarkable growth in 2019, with multiple U.S. projects coming online to nearly double U.S. exports to the growing global market. Because of our massive natural gas resource base, the United States is in a unique position to provide natural gas to eager partners across the globe.”
Charlie added: “As DOE’s recent NERA study demonstrates, even as exports grow, the price of natural gas is projected to be only slightly higher in 2040 than it was in 2010. Most importantly, modest price increases will be significantly outweighed by the positive economic benefits of exports.”
