据天然气加工网站2月25日消息 俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司（Gazprom）表示，俄罗斯应确保其天然气和液化天然气供应在国际市场上不存在竞争。有迹象表明，在传统上由俄气主导的欧洲市场上，有一个本土液化天然气竞争对手正变得越来越重要。
莫斯科多年来一直表示，其管道天然气（只有俄气有权出口）和液化天然气永远不会竞争，其液化天然气主要针对亚洲和欧洲部分地区。
不过，Refinitiv Eikon数据显示，俄罗斯最大的私人天然气生产商诺瓦泰克领导的亚马尔液化天然气在2018年至2020年间向欧洲输送了3350万吨液化天然气，而向亚洲输送的液化天然气为880万吨。
俄罗斯是世界上最大的天然气储备国，也是仅次于美国的全球第二大天然气生产国，该国计划在15年内将液化天然气产量提高近三倍，达到1.4亿吨，以增加供应管道的天然气。
一些业内人士希望，随着欧洲在未来几年致力于减少温室气体排放，其液化天然气可能会派上用场。诺瓦泰克、俄罗斯石油公司和俄气本身都计划在本世纪末新建液化天然气工厂。
尽管天然气和液化天然气不如风能和太阳能等可再生能源清洁，但它们的排放量比煤炭等其他化石燃料要少。
该公司在电子邮件评论中向路透社表示：“俄气支持俄罗斯液化天然气行业的发展，使销售市场多样化……但前提是俄罗斯天然气供应商之间不存在外部竞争。”
俄气本月早些时候表示，该公司将在波罗的海的乌斯特卢加建造新的液化天然气设施，不会针对管道天然气买家。
俄罗斯议会下院能源委员会主席帕维尔·扎瓦尼本月对路透社表示，莫斯科需要加快开发北极天然气储备，以免为时过晚。
他说：“人们认识到，我们现在正处于能源转型阶段，最大的碳氢化合物消费国正与碳中和目标保持一致。为了获得大部分的储备，我们需要快速行动。”

Gazprom: Russian LNG, natural gas shouldn't compete in export markets
Russia should ensure its natural gas and LNG supplies do not compete in international markets, Gazprom said, amid signs a local LNG rival is becoming increasingly important in the European market traditionally dominated by Gazprom.
Moscow has for years said its pipeline gas, which only Gazprom has a right to export, and LNG, would never compete, with its LNG targeting mainly Asia and parts of Europe.
However, Yamal LNG, led by Russia's top private gas producer Novatek, shipped 33.5 million tons of LNG to Europe between 2018 and 2020, Refinitiv Eikon data showed, compared with 8.8 million tons sent to Asia.
Russia, home to the world's biggest gas reserves and the second largest gas producer globally after the United States, aims to boost LNG output nearly threefold to 140 million tons in 15 years, to add to the gas it supplies the pipelines.
Some in the industry hope its LNG may come in handy as Europe aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the years to come, with Novatek, oil producer Rosneft and Gazprom itself all planning to build new LNG plants later this decade.
Natural gas and LNG produce fewer emissions than some other fossil fuels, such as coal, although they are not as clean as renewable energy, such as wind and solar power.
"Gazprom supports development of the LNG sector in Russia to diversify sales' markets ... provided there is no competition between Russian gas suppliers externally," it told Reuters in emailed comments.
Gazprom's new LNG facility, to be built by the Baltic Sea in Ust-Luga, will not target pipeline gas buyers, the company said earlier this month.
Pavel Zavalny, the head of the energy committee in Russia's lower house of parliament, or Duma, told Reuters this month that Moscow needed to speed-up development of its Arctic gas reserves before it is too late.
"There is an understanding that we are now in a stage of an energy transition and the biggest hydrocarbon consumers are aligning themselves with carbon neutrality goals," he said. "To get most of these reserves, we need to move fast."
