德国1至4月天然气进口量较去年同期增长4.9%

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社法兰克福6月21日报道，周五公布的官方数据显示，德国2019年前四个月的天然气进口量较上年同期增加了4.9%，进口成本上升了8.6%。

根据贸易统计局BAFA数据，德国1月至4月的进口量为1652982太焦耳，即470亿立方米。

在此期间，德国进口商为天然气支付了88亿欧元（100亿美元），而去年同期则为81亿欧元，这也反应出了油价的上涨。

天然气、电力和碳交易商关注天然气进口，因为供应和需求的不平衡可能改变这三个市场的价格和交易量，目前夏季供应充足。

欧洲天然气基础设施集团GIE网站显示，德国天然气库存在周三达到了可用存储容量的77.54%，而去年同期这一比例为42.99%。

德国主要通过管道从俄罗斯、挪威、荷兰、英国和丹麦进口天然气。

欧洲的液化天然气进口也在增加。

今年4月，德国边境地区管道天然气BAFA的平均报价为每太焦耳4574.99欧元，相当于每千瓦时1.65欧元，比上年同期低6.9%。

German gas imports rise 4.9% y/y in Jan-April, bill up 8.6%

Germany imported 4.9% more gas in the first four months of 2019 than a year earlier and its import bill rose by 8.6%, official data showed on Friday.

The volume of imports in January through April was 1,652,982 terajoules (TJ) or 47 billion cubic metres (cbm), according to trade statistics office BAFA.

German importers paid 8.8 billion euros ($10 billion) for gas during the period, compared with 8.1 billion a year earlier, mirroring higher oil prices.

Gas, power and carbon traders watch gas imports as possible imbalances in supply and demand can change prices and traded volumes in all three markets.

There is currently abundant supply in the summer season.

German gas stocks were at 77.54% of available storage capacity on Wedenesday, the European gas infrastructure group GIE’s website showed. That compared with 42.99% a year earlier.

Germany mainly imports gas from Russia, Norway, the Netherlands, Britain and Denmark via pipelines.

Europe’s imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are also increasing.

The average BAFA-quoted price for pipeline gas on the German border in April was 4,574.99 euros per TJ, equivalent to 1.65 euro cents per kilowatt hour (kWh), 6.9% below the price a year earlier.
