據(jù)管道新聞網(wǎng)4月17日消息稱，日本工業(yè)部長(zhǎng)周五表示，日本計(jì)劃加大對(duì)液化天然氣上游項(xiàng)目的投資，以刺激新的開發(fā)，并提高本國(guó)企業(yè)的燃料購(gòu)買量。

Koichi Hagiuda 表示，隨著全球脫碳趨勢(shì)的增長(zhǎng)，全球?qū)σ夯烊粴庑麻_發(fā)的投資大幅下降，盡管需求(尤其是亞洲的需求)甚至已經(jīng)上升。

“政府需要走在前列，通過(guò)與私營(yíng)部門的合作來(lái)獲得液化天然氣。”

他說(shuō)，政府旨在通過(guò)國(guó)營(yíng)的日本石油、天然氣和金屬國(guó)家公司(JOGMEC)為現(xiàn)有的液化天然氣項(xiàng)目提供“風(fēng)險(xiǎn)資金”，這些項(xiàng)目可以通過(guò)擴(kuò)張迅速提高產(chǎn)量，但他沒有透露細(xì)節(jié)。

這位部長(zhǎng)補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，3月初舉行的G7能源部長(zhǎng)會(huì)議認(rèn)識(shí)到投資液化天然氣部門以確保能源安全的重要性。

Hagiuda 曾表示，日本將持有這兩個(gè)項(xiàng)目的特許權(quán)，因?yàn)樗鼈兪情L(zhǎng)期且廉價(jià)能源的穩(wěn)定來(lái)源，但也將努力通過(guò)多樣化供應(yīng)來(lái)源來(lái)減少對(duì)能源的依賴。

Japan To Boost Investment Role in Upstream LNG Projects

Japan plans to step up its investment role in upstream projects for LNG, to spur new development and boost fuel offtake by its companies, the industry minister said on Friday.

Investment in new LNG development worldwide has dropped significantly as a global trend toward decarbonization grows, although demand, especially in Asia, had risen, even before the crisis, Koichi Hagiuda said.

"The government needs to come to the forefront to secure LNG through cooperation with private the sector."

The government aims to provide 'risk money' through the state-run Japan Oil, Gas and metals National Corp. (JOGMEC) for existing LNG projects that can boost output quickly via expansion, he said, but gave no details.

A meeting of G7 energy ministers early in March recognized the importance of investments in the LNG sector to ensure energy security, the minister added.

Hagiuda has said Japan would hold the concessions in both projects as they are stable sources of long-term and inexpensive energy but would also work to cut dependence on energy by diversifying sources of supply.
