去年歐盟LNG進口額高達162億歐元

據(jù)世界天然氣網(wǎng)4月9日消息 歐盟委員會最新的天然氣市場報告顯示，歐盟成員國去年共進口了1080億立方米液化天然氣，支付了約162億歐元。

受亞洲價格走低和需求減弱的推動，去年液化天然氣進口量較2018年增加了創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的480億立方米，增幅達75%。

這是有史以來液化天然氣進口量最高的一次，占歐盟天然氣進口總量的27%，超過了2011年的峰值30%以上。

歐盟委員會在報告中表示，液化天然氣首次在歐盟以外的天然氣進口來源中排名第二。

由于平均價格下降，2019年全年的液化天然氣進口賬單略高于2018年的154億歐元。

西班牙去年是歐盟最大的液化天然氣進口國，進口量為224億立方米，其次是法國（221億立方米）和英國（180億立方米）。

意大利去年進口了135億立方米的液化天然氣。荷蘭和比利時進口了約86-88億立方米的冷凍燃料。

供應(yīng)商方面，卡塔爾液化天然氣產(chǎn)量占歐盟液化天然氣進口總量的28%，其次是俄羅斯（20%）和美國（16%）。

除2019年11月和12月外，盡管歐盟從美國進口的液化天然氣有所增加，但俄羅斯出口的液化天然氣更多。2019年，俄羅斯每月向歐盟提供的液化天然氣數(shù)量都超過美國。

報告稱，這意味著俄羅斯努力保持其在歐洲天然氣市場的影響力，用不斷增長的液化天然氣供應(yīng)補充管道業(yè)務(wù)。

EU LNG import bill hits 16.2 billion euros

The European Union member states paid about 16.2 billion euros for the 108 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas they imported last year, according to the Commission’s latest gas market report.

Last year’s LNG imports increased by a record 48 billion cubic meters or by 75 per cent when compared to 2018, boosted by lower prices and weaker demand in Asia.

This is the highest LNG import volume of all times representing 27 percent in the total EU natural gas imports and surpassing the previous peak in 2011 by more than 30 percent.

For the first time, LNG came to the second place in extra-EU gas import sources, the European Commission said in the report.

The LNG import bill for the full year of 2019 was slightly up from 15.4 billion euros in 2018 as average prices dropped.

Spain was the biggest LNG importer in the EU last year with 22.4 billion cubic metres, followed by France with 22.1 billion cubic metres, and the UK with 18 billion cubic metres.

Italy imported 13.5 billion cubic metres of LNG last year while the Netherlands and Belgium imported about 8.6-8.8 billion cubic metres of the chilled fuel, the report said.

On the supplier side, Qatari LNG volumes accounted for 28 percent of the EU total LNG imports, followed by Russia with 20 per cent, and the United States with 16 per cent.

With the exception of November and December 2019, in spite of increasing EU LNG imports from the US, Russia exported more LNG to the EU than the US in each month in 2019.

The report says this implies that Russia made efforts to maintain its influence on the European gas market, complementing the pipeline business with growing LNG supply.
