據油價網7月12日消息稱，卡塔爾能源事務國務部長、卡塔爾國家石油公司卡塔爾能源總裁兼首席執行官近日宣布，到2029年，全球將有40%的新液化天然氣來自卡塔爾。

“天然氣作為最清潔的化石燃料，將被用于電力生產、工業和制造業所需的基本負荷。我們必須在需求和如何恰當地管理它之間取得平衡。如果你看看我們在卡塔爾所做的事情，我們正在將產量增加到每年1.26億噸(MTPA)，明年我們將有另外1600萬至1800萬噸年產量的液化天然氣從美國上線。就二氧化碳封存及控制碳排放而言，我們正在以最負責任的方式行事。”他在第20屆國際液化天然氣會議和展覽中的“領導力對話”中這樣表示。

去年，澳大利亞成為世界上最大的液化天然氣出口國，出口了8200萬噸液化天然氣，價值630億美元，刷新了新的歷史水平。這一數字超過了卡塔爾出口的8120萬噸和美國出口的7910萬噸。然而，澳大利亞政府越來越嚴格的監管審查，包括用于液化天然氣項目的天然氣可能被轉用于國內市場，可能會限制澳大利亞保持領先地位的能力。最近，澳大利亞政府對當地天然氣市場的干預力度加大。去年，在澳大利亞東海岸能源危機之后，聯邦政府加強了澳大利亞國內天然氣安全機制(ADGSM)，這賦予了政府更多的權力來限制液化天然氣出口。

QatarEnergy CEO: 40% Of New LNG Coming To Market By 2029 Will Be From Qatar

A full 40% of all the new LNG that will come to the market by 2029 will be from Qatar, the country’s Minister of State for Energy Affairs, President and CEO of Qatar’s national oil company, QatarEnergy, has declared.

“Gas will always be needed as the cleanest fossil fuel for the base-load required for electricity production and for powering industrial and manufacturing factories. We have to have a balance between what we need for humanity and how we can manage it properly. And if you look at what we are doing in Qatar, we are increasing production to 126 million tons per annum (MTPA) and we have another 16-18 MTPA out of the U.S. coming online next year. We are doing it in the most responsible way as far as emissions are concerned with CO2 sequestration,” Al-Kaabi said during a “Leadership Dialogue” held as part of the 20th International Conference & Exhibition on Liquefied Natural Gas.

Last year, Australia emerged as the world’s leading exporter of LNG, shipping 82.0 million tonnes (Mt) of LNG2 valued at $63 billion, a new world record. That figure eclipsed 81.2 Mt exported by Qatar and 79.1 Mt exported by the United States. However, increasing regulatory scrutiny by the Australian government, including the possibility of gas intended for LNG projects being diverted into the domestic market, might limit Australia’s ability to maintain the lead. Lately, the Australian government has been intervening more aggressively in local gas markets. Last year, following the east coast energy crisis, the federal government toughened the Australian Domestic Gas Security Mechanism (ADGSM), which gives it more power to limit LNG exports.
