中国石化新闻网讯 据WENews.com网站4月28日伦敦报道,澳大利亚的保守党政府日前公布了一项激进的计划,在国内短缺推高当地价格的时候限制出口液化天然气(LNG),此举旨在减轻当地制造商面临的不断飙升的能源价格。 由于澳大利亚政府寻求限制国内已经成为一个政治烫手山芋的天然气价格,这项计划将允许澳大利亚资源部长根据来自市场运营商和监管机构的建议对LNG出口实施控制。 澳大利亚政府总理马尔科姆•特恩布尔日前在接受澳大利亚广播公司电台记者采访时说,这不是一个威胁。这将是出口管制。如果出口LNG导致澳大利亚国内市场可用天然气供应大幅减少,他们将不能够出口天然气。 澳大利亚是世界上仅次于卡塔尔的第二大LNG出口国,但是,随着从位于澳大利亚东部3个新建LNG厂开始向中国、日本、韩国和马来西亚等国客户出口LNG,当地的天然气价格在过去的两年出现了飞涨。 李峻 编译自 WENewws.com 原文如下: Australia Plans to Limit LNG Exports

Australia’s conservative government unveiled a radical plan on Thursday to restrict exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at times when domestic shortages push up local prices, aiming to ease soaring energy costs for local manufacturers.
The plan would allow Australia’s resources minister to impose controls on LNG exports on advice from the market operator and regulator, as the government seeks to cap domestic gas prices, which have become a political hot potato.
“It’s not a threat. This will be export controls. They will not be able to export gas if that has the consequence of reducing the availability of gas for the Australian market,” Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told Australian Broadcasting Corp radio.
Australia is the world’s second-largest LNG exporter after Qatar, but local gas prices have rocketed over the past two years with the start of LNG exports from three newly built plants in eastern Australia to customers in China, Japan, Korea and Malaysia.
