中國石化新聞網訊 據油氣新聞網5月10日報道，據最新的年度天然氣市場報告稱，2022年全球天然氣消費量下降，但預計2023年將恢復增長，達到歷史最高水平。
據報告稱，發電行業仍將是最大的天然氣消費者，預計美國、中國和亞太地區的一些新興國家將在2023年推動全球天然氣消費的增長。
該報告的第四版是由天然氣出口國論壇(GECF)委托編寫的，對天然氣市場進行了深入分析，涵蓋了最近的發展，并提供了2023—2024年的前景。
GECF秘書長Eng Mohamed Hamel表示，“年度天然氣市場報告是全面的，我希望它將成為任何對天然氣感興趣的人的必備工具”。
該報告稱，2022年油氣投資同比增長7%，達到7180億美元，預計2023年將進一步增長，但迫在眉睫的不確定性可能會阻礙投資。
該報告的其他主要發現包括，歐洲和亞洲的現貨天然氣和液化天然氣價格在2022年達到創紀錄高位，全年波動很大。這主要是由于歐洲的液化天然氣需求激增，以取代較低的管道天然氣進口，導致液化天然氣市場緊張。
該報告稱，2022年能源安全問題優先于減緩氣候變化的目標，決策者將重點放在滿足人民的能源需求上。該報告還表示，CCS/CCUS和氫氣作為脫碳的潛在途徑已經獲得了發展勢頭，宣布的產能顯著增加。然而，已達到FID階段的項目數量仍遠未達到要求的規模。
該出版物出版之際，天然氣市場正在經歷物理流動、投資、貿易和市場功能方面的根本性轉變。
Hamel補充稱，天然氣行業的發展表明了全球天然氣行業擴張的光明前景，因為天然氣將在社會經濟發展和實現公正和包容性的能源轉型中發揮關鍵作用。

Gas consumption to reach all-time high in 2023
Global gas consumption declined in 2022, but is expected to resume growth in 2023 and reach an all-time high level, says the latest Annual Gas Market Report.
It said the power generation sector would remain the largest consumer of gas, with the US, China, and some emerging countries in Asia Pacific forecasted to drive the growth of global gas consumption in 2023.
The 4th edition of the report was commissioned by the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) and provides an in-depth analysis of natural gas markets, covering recent developments and providing prospects for 2023-2024.
According to Eng Mohamed Hamel, Secretary General of the GECF: "The Annual Gas Market Report is comprehensive and I hope it will become an essential tool for anyone interested in natural gas."
The report said oil and gas investment increased by 7 per cent y-o-y to reach $718 billion in 2022, and was expected to rise further in 2023, but looming uncertainties may deter investment.
Other key findings of the report include spot gas and LNG prices in Europe and Asia reaching record highs in 2022, with significant volatility throughout the year. This was mainly due to a tight LNG market as Europe's LNG demand surged to replace lower pipeline gas imports.
The report said energy security concerns took precedence over climate change mitigation goals in 2022, with policymakers focusing on meeting the energy needs of their people.
It also said CCS/CCUS and hydrogen have gained momentum as potential pathways for decarbonisation, with a significant increase in the announced capacity. However, the number of projects that have reached the FID stage is still far from the required scale.
The publication comes at a time when natural gas markets are undergoing fundamental transformations in terms of physical flows, investment, trade, and market functioning.
"The developments in the gas industry are an indication of the bright prospects for the expansion of the global gas industry, as natural gas is set to play a pivotal role in socio-economic development and towards just and inclusive energy transitions," added Hamel.
