中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社2月26日东京报道,亿万富翁矿业巨头阿德鲁· 弗雷斯特与日本丸红公司以及由日本两大电力公司东京电力控股公司和中部电力公司组成的日本最大液化天然气(LNG)进口商杰拉公司计划在2020年前在澳大利亚建造一个新的LNG进口终端。
澳大利亚工业能源财团周一在一份声明中说,这个新建LNG进口终端可以在澳大利亚人口最多的州新南威尔士州每年处理200万吨LNG来帮助缓解已减少工业用户供应的能源危机。相当于每年100兆焦耳的天然气数量大约占到这个州50%的天然气需求。
澳大利亚准备加入诸如印度尼西亚和马来西亚那样的大型LNG出口国在国内能源短缺导致能源价格飙升的情况下建造进口设施。

Billionaire Miner, Japanese Plan Australia LNG Import Plant
Billionaire miner Andrew Forrest and Marubeni Corp. and Jera Co., a venture between two of Japan’s biggest power utilities Tokyo Electric Power Co. Holdings Inc. and Chubu Electric Power Co. plan to build a liquefied natural gas import terminal in Australia by 2020.
The terminal could process as many as 2 million tons of LNG a year in New South Wales, the country’s most populous state, to help ease an energy crisis that’s crimped supplies for industrial users, the Australian Industrial Energy consortium said Monday in a statement. The volume of gas, equivalent to 100 petajoules annually, represents about 75 percent of the state’s gas demand.
Australia is poised to join other large LNG exporters such as Indonesia and Malaysia in building import facilities amid a domestic shortfall that’s seen energy prices surge.
