Environmentally-friendly transport to facilitate economic

Atlantic hurricane season each year, the U.S. natural gas market will be taut nerves, the recent “Ernesto” is also a result of Hurricane threat to Gulf of Mexico natural gas production facilities in the region caused by market fluctuations. Analysts pointed out that liquefied natural gas (LNG) will help stabilize the global natural gas prices, lower demand for the country’s excessive dependence on the single market, so the fuel will become the United States and many other natural gas consuming countries an important part of the energy mix.

a very long period of time, natural gas pipelines has been technical and political factors, multiple constraints, which makes natural gas markets are regional, once the producing countries, threatening security of supply events, close to importing countries will be seriously effects or even to be worried so “die.” In January of this year, Russia and Ukraine gas dispute between the European countries to follow the “sneeze” is a typical case.

used as a form of natural gas, liquefied natural gas, natural gas, gaseous state is not conducive to resolving the long-range transport issues, to help get rid of the importing country near the country’s excessive dependence on major energy. As more and more liquefied natural gas, after being easily transported to the world, the above-mentioned risks will be greatly reduced. It is said that the current global funding for the development of liquefied natural gas is approximately 30 billion U.S. dollars. Analysts predict the next 10 years this figure will reach 100 billion U.S. dollars, making the investment in liquefied natural gas to become one of the world’s largest investment trends.

U.S. CNNMoney article points out the site, because natural gas is more environmentally friendly, more economical, the global demand for such energy is growing. In addition, compared with coal and oil, gas, little pollution, meet the “Kyoto Protocol” to reduce greenhouse gas emissions requirements. In order to achieve diversification of energy supplies, the world’s major energy consuming countries to the growing interest in liquefied natural gas. It was reported that in 2005 the total global trade of liquefied natural gas to about 6.7 trillion cubic feet, of which Japan and South Korea imports of liquefied natural gas, respectively the world’s total trading volume accounted for 40.4% and 16%. In addition, the global trade in liquefied natural gas, 90% for long-term supply contracts, spot market transaction is expected likelihood of growth.

Exxon Mobil, according to estimates, over the next 10 years, U.S. consumption of natural gas per day from 65 billion cubic feet up to 85 billion cubic feet, but the U.S. domestic natural gas production over the same period only from 55 billion cubic feet increased to 60 billion cubic feet. Although most of the previous U.S. demand for natural gas imports by pipeline from Canada and modes of transport are met, but in recent years, Canada’s gas exports have been substantially reduced, it is difficult to meet growing U.S. demand for imports. However, Exxon Mobil and Qatar Petroleum is now, and ConocoPhillips to develop a 14 billion U.S. dollars worth of liquefied natural gas project to transport natural gas-rich Qatar to the United States, Texas coast.

In addition, Qatar hopes to be in 2012, the annual output of liquefied natural gas from the current 25 million tons to 77 million tons, making it the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas. Qatar ranks third in the world gas reserves, after Russia and Iran. By the end of 2005, the country has proven natural gas reserves of 25.7 trillion cubic meters. However, the United States at present only five liquefied natural gas terminals, while another 40 U.S. liquefied natural gas receiving terminal proposals, but for safety and environmental concerns, many projects may not be state government’s approval.

全球液化作为投资目的地的天然气项目

环保的运输，促进香港经济

大西洋飓风季节，每年的美国天然气市场将绷紧神经，最近的“埃内斯托”也是一个飓风威胁，墨西哥天然气生产设施，在市场海湾地区造成的结果波动。分析人士指出，液化天然气（LNG）有助于稳定全球天然气价格，降低该国对单一市场的过度依赖需求，使燃料将成为美国和许多其他天然气消费国的一个重要组成部分能源结构。

一个很长的时间，天然气管道已被技术和政治因素，诸多因素的制约，这使天然气市场的区域，一旦生产国发生威胁供应安全，接近进口国将受到严重影响或什至担心这样“死。”在今年1月，俄罗斯和乌克兰之间的欧洲国家的天然气争端遵循“喷嚏”是一个典型的例子。

作为一个天然气液化天然气，天然气，气态，使用的方式不利于解决远距离迁移的问题，为了帮助进口国摆脱接近该国对主要能源的过度依赖。随着越来越多的液化天然气，运输方便后，向世界，上述风险将大大降低。这是说，目前的液化天然气是全球发展筹资约30亿美元。分析人士预测，未来10年这一数字将达到1000亿美元，使在液化天然气的投资成为世界上最大的投资趋势之一。

了44.84点，美国网站的文章指出，由于天然气是一种更环保，更经济，对这种全球能源需求的增长。此外，与煤炭和石油，天然气，污染小，符合“京都议定书”减少温室气体排放标准的要求。为了实现能源供应多元化，世界主要能源消费国对液化天然气的兴趣与日俱增。据报道，2005年全球贸易总额的液化天然气约6.7万亿立方英尺，其中日本和韩国进口的液化天然气，分别占世界交易量的40.4％和16％以上。此外，在液化天然气，90长期供应合同％的全球贸易，现货市场交易预计增长的可能性。

埃克森美孚，据估计，在未来10年，美国每天消费的天然气从65亿元上升为850亿立方英尺，但美国国内同期的天然气产量从55只亿立方英尺增加到6000000万立方英尺。虽然以前美国从加拿大和交通工具的管道天然气进口的需求大部分得到满足，但近年来，加拿大的天然气出口量已大幅减少，难以满足不断增长的美国对进口的需求。然而，埃克森美孚公司和卡塔尔石油公司现在，发展和康菲14亿美元的液化天然气项目的天然气输送丰富的卡塔尔向美国得克萨斯州海岸的价值。

此外，卡塔尔希望在2012年，液化天然气年产量从目前的25万吨，为七千七百万吨，成为世界上最大的液化天然气出口国。卡塔尔居第三位在世界天然气储量，仅次于俄罗斯和伊朗。截至2005年底，该国已探明二十五万七千亿立方米天然气储量。但是，目前只有5个美国液化天然气码头，另有40个美国液化天然气接收终端的建议，同时对安全和环境问题，许多项目可能不会州政府的批准。06.9.6
