???? 據天然氣加工網站2月25日消息 俄羅斯天然氣工業股份公司(Gazprom)表示,俄羅斯應確保其天然氣和液化天然氣供應在國際市場上不存在競爭。有跡象表明,在傳統上由俄氣主導的歐洲市場上,有一個本土液化天然氣競爭對手正變得越來越重要。
????莫斯科多年來一直表示,其管道天然氣(只有俄氣有權出口)和液化天然氣永遠不會競爭,其液化天然氣主要針對亞洲和歐洲部分地區。
????不過,Refinitiv Eikon數據顯示,俄羅斯最大的私人天然氣生產商諾瓦泰克領導的亞馬爾液化天然氣在2018年至2020年間向歐洲輸送了3350萬噸液化天然氣,而向亞洲輸送的液化天然氣為880萬噸。
????俄羅斯是世界上最大的天然氣儲備國,也是僅次于美國的全球第二大天然氣生產國,該國計劃在15年內將液化天然氣產量提高近三倍,達到1.4億噸,以增加供應管道的天然氣。
????一些業內人士希望,隨著歐洲在未來幾年致力于減少溫室氣體排放,其液化天然氣可能會派上用場。諾瓦泰克、俄羅斯石油公司和俄氣本身都計劃在本世紀末新建液化天然氣工廠。
????盡管天然氣和液化天然氣不如風能和太陽能等可再生能源清潔,但它們的排放量比煤炭等其他化石燃料要少。
????該公司在電子郵件評論中向路透社表示:“俄氣支持俄羅斯液化天然氣行業的發展,使銷售市場多樣化……但前提是俄羅斯天然氣供應商之間不存在外部競爭?!?/p>
????俄氣本月早些時候表示,該公司將在波羅的海的烏斯特盧加建造新的液化天然氣設施,不會針對管道天然氣買家。
????俄羅斯議會下院能源委員會主席帕維爾·扎瓦尼本月對路透社表示,莫斯科需要加快開發北極天然氣儲備,以免為時過晚。
????他說:“人們認識到,我們現在正處于能源轉型階段,最大的碳氫化合物消費國正與碳中和目標保持一致。為了獲得大部分的儲備,我們需要快速行動?!?/p>

????Gazprom: Russian LNG, natural gas shouldn't compete in export markets
????Russia should ensure its natural gas and LNG supplies do not compete in international markets, Gazprom said, amid signs a local LNG rival is becoming increasingly important in the European market traditionally dominated by Gazprom.
????Moscow has for years said its pipeline gas, which only Gazprom has a right to export, and LNG, would never compete, with its LNG targeting mainly Asia and parts of Europe.
????However, Yamal LNG, led by Russia's top private gas producer Novatek, shipped 33.5 million tons of LNG to Europe between 2018 and 2020, Refinitiv Eikon data showed, compared with 8.8 million tons sent to Asia.
????Russia, home to the world's biggest gas reserves and the second largest gas producer globally after the United States, aims to boost LNG output nearly threefold to 140 million tons in 15 years, to add to the gas it supplies the pipelines.
????Some in the industry hope its LNG may come in handy as Europe aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the years to come, with Novatek, oil producer Rosneft and Gazprom itself all planning to build new LNG plants later this decade.
????Natural gas and LNG produce fewer emissions than some other fossil fuels, such as coal, although they are not as clean as renewable energy, such as wind and solar power.
????"Gazprom supports development of the LNG sector in Russia to diversify sales' markets ... provided there is no competition between Russian gas suppliers externally," it told Reuters in emailed comments.
????Gazprom's new LNG facility, to be built by the Baltic Sea in Ust-Luga, will not target pipeline gas buyers, the company said earlier this month.
????Pavel Zavalny, the head of the energy committee in Russia's lower house of parliament, or Duma, told Reuters this month that Moscow needed to speed-up development of its Arctic gas reserves before it is too late.
????"There is an understanding that we are now in a stage of an energy transition and the biggest hydrocarbon consumers are aligning themselves with carbon neutrality goals," he said. "To get most of these reserves, we need to move fast."
