美国计划在四年内开始向德国运送液化天然气

    中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社柏林报道，美国能源副部长对德国一家报纸表示，美国公司预计最迟在四年

    内开始向德国输送液化天然气。

    今年7月，美国总统唐纳德特朗普指责德国对俄罗斯能源过分依赖，并敦促德国停止在波罗的海修建以俄

    罗斯为首、耗资110亿美元的北部天然气管道2号管道。

    德国拒绝接受这一指责，并表示愿意接受能源来源的多样化，但最终将根据经济因素来决定销售。

    最近几周，围绕德国液化天然气进口的争论愈演愈烈，因为运营商和政府已表现出对从俄罗斯、挪威和荷

    兰进口天然气多样化的兴趣。

    卡塔尔也表示有意向德国出售液化天然气。

    U.S. aims to start LNG deliveries to Germany in four years

    U.S. companies expect to begin delivering liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Germany in four

    years at the latest, the deputy U.S. energy secretary told a German newspaper.

    U.S. President Donald Trump in July accused Germany of being a “captive” of Russia due to

    its energy reliance and urged it to halt work on the $11 billion, Russian-led Nord Stream 2

    gas pipeline that is to be built in the Baltic Sea.

    Germany rejects this charge and says it is open to diversifying its energy sources, but says

    sales will ultimately be determined on economic grounds.

    The debate about German LNG imports has flared up in recent weeks as operators and the

    government have shown an interest in diversifying away from pipeline gas arriving from

    Russia, Norway and the Netherlands.

    Qatar has also expressed interest in selling LNG to Germany.
