據烴加工新聞5月9日消息稱，天然氣出口國論壇秘書長Yury Sentyurin表示，盡管冠狀病毒大流行疫情爆發，但去年全球對液化天然氣的需求仍保持彈性。

　　Yury Sentyurin說：“液化天然氣已經成為全球能源轉型中的一個重大突破。盡管COVID-19爆發和封鎖措施影響了整體能源需求，特別是天然氣消費，但2020年全球液化天然氣需求一直保持彈性，增長了1.5%(500萬噸)，達到3.59億噸。”

　　他說：“未來幾年，全球液化天然氣需求預計將保持穩定增長，亞洲將成為液化天然氣需求增長的主要驅動力。根據GECF《2050年全球天然氣展望》的最新數據，到2030年，液化天然氣的交易份額將增加到約48%，到2050年將增加到56%。預計在展望期間，全球約59200億立方米天然氣需求中將有19900億立方米來自進口?！?/p>

　　關于峰會，他表示，第六屆GECF峰會將再次在天然氣世界的一個重要時刻舉行，因為經濟復蘇和天然氣資源在其中的關鍵作用將成為人們關注的焦點。

　　LNG demand remains resilient in 2020

　　Despite the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic the global demand for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has remained resilient last year, Yury Sentyurin, Secretary General, Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) has said.

　　''LNG has established itself as a major breakthrough in the global energy transition. Despite the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown measures that impacted energy demand as a whole and gas consumption in particular, the global LNG demand has been resilient in 2020, recording a growth by 1.5 percent (5 mt), to reach 359 mt,” Yury Sentyurin, told The Peninsula.

　　''The global LNG demand is expected to keep growing at a solid pace, with Asia as the main driver of LNG demand growth in coming years. According to the latest available figures available in the GECF Global Gas Outlook 2050, the share of traded LNG will increase to approximately 48 percent of all traded gas in 2030 and 56 percent in 2050, respectively. It is projected that over the Outlook period, 1,990 bcm out of around 5,920 bcm global natural gas demand will be imported,” he said.

　　about the Summit he said 6th edition of the GECF Summit will, once again, take place at an important time for the natural gas world, as economic recovery and the said resource’s pivotal role in it will be in the spotlight.
