全球3月份LNG需求量攀升至年內(nèi)高點(diǎn)

據(jù)彭博新聞社4月5日倫敦報(bào)道，由于亞洲和歐洲在冬季重新補(bǔ)充耗盡的天然氣庫(kù)存，以及受疫情破壞的經(jīng)濟(jì)體開(kāi)始緩慢重新開(kāi)放，全球3月份液化天然氣（LNG）的交付量攀升至長(zhǎng)達(dá)一年內(nèi)的高點(diǎn)。

彭博社匯編的船舶跟蹤數(shù)據(jù)顯示，3月份全球LNG進(jìn)口量同比增加了5.8%，為2020年3月以來(lái)的最大增幅。在疫情爆發(fā)之前，由于各國(guó)政府出于氣候考慮放棄燃煤發(fā)電，對(duì)用于供暖和發(fā)電的燃料的需求一直在穩(wěn)步增長(zhǎng)。

由于天然氣庫(kù)存減少和現(xiàn)貨價(jià)格強(qiáng)勁吸引了美國(guó)出口LNG項(xiàng)目的貨物，歐洲天然氣進(jìn)口出現(xiàn)反彈，而亞洲進(jìn)口商則支撐了美國(guó)LNG出口的增長(zhǎng)。在現(xiàn)貨購(gòu)買的支持下，對(duì)孟加拉國(guó)和巴基斯坦的供應(yīng)也有所增加。

3月份西歐LNG進(jìn)口量達(dá)到了自2019年12月交付的創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄水平的最高紀(jì)錄。來(lái)自美國(guó)的供應(yīng)占了近30%的發(fā)貨量。3月份全球LNG出口比去年同期增長(zhǎng)了4.2%。

由于項(xiàng)目產(chǎn)量的增加，美國(guó)的LNG產(chǎn)量飆升至歷史新高，而阿爾及利亞、阿曼和埃及的LNG出口量也在擴(kuò)大。

Global LNG demand climbs to year-long highs

Liquefied natural gas deliveries expanded the most in a year as Asia and Europe refilled inventories drained over the winter, and as pandemic-ravaged economies slowly begin to reopen.

Imports jumped 5.8% in March from a year earlier, the biggest increase since March 2020, ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg showed. Demand for the fuel used in heating and power generation had been steadily growing before Covid-19, as nations shift away from coal-fired power over climate concerns.

While European imports rebounded as dwindling stockpiles and strong spot prices attracted cargoes from U.S. export projects, Asian importers anchored the growth. Supplies to Bangladesh and Pakistan also rose on the back of spot buying.

LNG imports into western Europe in March reached the highest levels since record volumes delivered in December 2019. Supplies from the U.S. made up nearly 30% of shipments. Global exports of the fuel in March rose 4.2% from year-ago levels.

Output from the U.S. surged to a record high as projects ramped up production, while exports from Algeria, Oman and Egypt also expanded.
