據(jù)道瓊斯倫敦6月10日消息，國際能源署（IEA）周二在其年度天然氣市場中期報告中稱，2019年前中國天然氣需求預(yù)計將增長近一倍，從而抵消歐洲和其他地區(qū)需求增長放緩的影響。
IEA表示，2019年底前全球天然氣需求預(yù)計每年將增長2.2%，而在去年的預(yù)測報告中，年均增速預(yù)測值為2.4%。
LNG將滿足上述需求中的一大部分，另外新建輸氣管線也會起到一些作用。國有供應(yīng)商的傳統(tǒng)主導(dǎo)地位正在發(fā)生變化，澳大利亞、加拿大和美國的私營運營商正引領(lǐng)LNG貿(mào)易的擴(kuò)張。預(yù)計到2019年，全球LNG貿(mào)易規(guī)模將增長40%，達(dá)到4,500億立方米。
IEA表示，2019年前全球所有新增LNG出口的一半將來自澳大利亞，同時北美將占全球LNG貿(mào)易量的8%左右。
IEA執(zhí)行總裁范德胡芬表示：“我們正在進(jìn)入天然氣市場效率大幅上升的時代，能源安全也獲得了更多保障。”

IEA Says China Natural Gas Demand to Nearly Double
By Selina Williams
LONDON--China's natural gas demand is forecast to nearly double by 2019, offsetting slower growth in Europe and elsewhere, the International Energy Agency said Tuesday in its annual medium-term gas market report.
Global gas demand is expected to rise by 2.2% a year by the end of 2019 compared with 2.4% projected in last year's outlook, the Paris-based energy watchdog said.
Liquefied natural gas will meet much of this demand, with new pipelines also playing a role. In a shift away from the traditional dominance of state-owned suppliers, private-sector operators in Australia, Canada and the U.S. are taking the lead in the expansion of LNG trade, which is expected to grow by 40% to reach 450 billion cubic meters by 2019.
Half of all new LNG exports will originate from Australia, while North America will account for around 8% of global LNG trade by 2019, the IEA said.
