北美将成为全球LNG液化产能增长领航者

据天然气资讯6月23日消息称，在2020年至2024年的展望期间，北美预计将通过新建(计划和宣布)和扩建项目，成为全球液化天然气产能增长的领跑者。数据分析公司GlobalData的数据显示，到2024年，该地区可能将在全球产能增长中贡献约75%的份额。

该公司的报告《2020年液化天然气终端的全球产能和资本支出展望–美国和俄罗斯引领全球液化产能增长》显示，预计到2014年，北美将新建和扩大LNG液化产能近1.481亿吨/年。

GlobalData的石油和天然气分析师Haseeb Ahmed说：“具有可确定发展计划的计划中的项目占该地区大部分新增产能的近72％，即1.066亿吨/年，而扩建和早期宣布的项目占了剩余产能的大部分。在北美，预计到2024年，16个新建项目和3个扩建项目将开始运营。其中，路易斯安那州的Plaquemines终端到2024年将增加最高的液化天然气液化能力，达到2000万吨/年。”

Ahmed继续说:“前苏联是全球液化天然气产能增长第二高的地区，预计到2024年产能将增加3120万吨/年。该地区所有产能的增加均来自新建项目。

“到2024年，非洲的液化天然气液化能力将增加1010万吨/年，位居全球第三。莫桑比克Coral Floating终端是该地区即将投产的最大液化项目，到2024年将新增340万吨/年的产能。”

North America to be the frontrunner in global LNG liquefaction capacity

North America is expected to be the frontrunner in global LNG liquefaction capacity growth through new-build (planned and announced) and expansion projects during the outlook period 2020 to 2024. The region is likely to contribute about 75% of the total growth across the globe by 2024, according to GlobalData, a data and analytics company.

The company’s report, ‘Global Capacity and Capital Expenditure Outlook for LNG Liquefaction Terminals, 2020 – US and Russia Lead Global Liquefaction Capacity Additions’, reveals that North America is expected to have a new build and expansion LNG liquefaction capacity of nearly 148.1 million tpy by 2024.

Haseeb Ahmed, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, says: “Planned projects with identifiable development plans account for most of the new-build capacity additions in the region with nearly 72% or 106.6 million tpy, while expansion and early-stage announced projects account for the remaining capacity. In North America, 16 new-build and three expansion projects are expected to start operations by 2024. Of these, the Plaquemines terminal in Louisiana has the highest LNG liquefaction capacity additions by 2024 with 20 million tpy.”

Ahmed continues: “The Former Soviet Union is the second-highest region, in terms of global LNG liquefaction capacity growth, with expected capacity additions of 31.2 million tpy by 2024. All of the capacity additions in the region are from the new-build projects.

“Africa stands third globally with new-build LNG liquefaction capacity additions of 10.1 million tpy by 2024. The Coral Floating terminal in Mozambique is the largest upcoming liquefaction project in the region with a new-build capacity of 3.4 million tpy by 2024.”
