據阿納多盧新聞6月28日消息稱，全球能源監測周四發布的一份報告顯示，全球26個液化天然氣出口終端的項目嚴重中斷，最終投資決定被推遲，液化天然氣(LNG)行業受到了打擊。
題為《緊張的資金:2021年全球液化天然氣終端更新》的年度報告確認，氣候變化、安全擔憂、Covid-19導致的經濟放緩和可行性擔憂是導致中斷的主要原因。
該報告稱，延期出口碼頭的年產能總計2.65億噸。
“過去一年，與疫情相關的勞動力中斷進一步加劇了困擾液化天然氣行業的成本超支、計劃延遲和高停機率。”
去年，全球只有一個液化天然氣出口項目——墨西哥的Costa Azul液化天然氣終端——達成了FID。
在全球64%的建設或建設前出口能力的項目中，北美的項目問題最嚴重，26個液化天然氣出口終端中有11個報告FID延遲或其他嚴重中斷。
根據該報告：“在低生產成本的卡塔爾和俄羅斯北極地區大舉擴張產能，增加了美國液化天然氣出口開發商面臨的風險。”
全球能源監測在報告中還指出，液化天然氣行業一度被視為潛在的氣候解決方案，但現在越來越被視為一個氣候問題，尤其是對歐洲買家而言。
國際能源署 (IEA) 上個月表示，按照2050年凈零的設想，2025年后地區間液化天然氣貿易將需要迅速下降。
全球能源監測執行董事Ted Nace 表示：“那些習慣于將基礎設施視為‘安全’投資的人，可能會在液化天然氣終端項目上遭遇坎坷。”
他說，建設更多出口能力的機會已經縮小。
盡管如此，液化天然氣的進口能力仍在迅速擴大，有足夠的在建或在建前項目將全球液化天然氣進口能力提高70%。
報告透露：“在建設或在建前建設的產能中，32%在亞洲某大國，11%在印度，7%在泰國。在亞洲以外，巴西也是一個熱點地區，有13個液化天然氣進口碼頭正在建設或建設前。”

LNG sector faces delays to 26 export terminal projects globally
The liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector has been hit by severe project disruptions and delays to final investment decisions (FIDs) of 26 LNG export terminals globally, a report by Global Energy Monitor revealed Thursday.
The annual report entitled Nervous Money: Global LNG Terminals Update 2021 confirms that climate change, security concerns, the economic slowdown due to Covid-19, and feasibility concerns are among the main reasons leading to disruptions.
The capacity of delayed export terminals total 265 million tonnes per annum, it said.
"The cost overruns, scheduling delays, and high outage rate that plagued the LNG sector were further exacerbated in the past year by Covid-related workforce disruption."
only one LNG export project worldwide, the Costa Azul LNG terminal in Mexico, reached an FID in the past year.
For 64% of the global export capacity in construction or pre-construction, North America has the most troubled projects with 11 of the 26 LNG export terminals reporting FID delays or other serious disruptions.
According to the report, "aggressive expansion of capacity in low-production-cost Qatar and the Russian Arctic has increased risks to US LNG export developers.”
Global Energy Monitor also noted in the report that once regarded as a potential climate solution, the LNG sector is increasingly seen as a climate problem particularly for European buyers.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) said last month that inter-regional LNG trade would need to decline rapidly after 2025 under a 2050 net-zero scenario.
"Those who are accustomed to thinking of infrastructure as a 'safe' investment may be in for a rocky ride with LNG terminals," said Ted Nace, executive director of Global Energy Monitor.
He said the opportunity has narrowed for more export capacity to be built.
Nonetheless, LNG import capacity is continuing to expand rapidly, with enough projects in construction or pre-construction to increase global capacity by 70%.
"Of the capacity in construction or pre-construction, 32% is in the curtain country of Asia, 11% is in India, and 7% is in Thailand. Outside Asia, Brazil is a hotspot with 13 LNG import terminals in construction or pre-construction," the report revealed.
