石油设备网讯 据路透社1月23日北京报道，中国海关总署公布的统计数据显示，由于中国政府为住宅取暖和工厂供电采取的用天然气取代煤炭的举措导致了购买量飙升，中国去年12月份液化天然气（LNG）的进口量攀升至创月度最高纪录的503万吨。
根据中国海关总署的统计数据，中国12月份LNG进口量比11月份的405.6万吨增加了24%以及比前年同期增加了35%。
与2016年相比，中国去年全年LNG进口量猛增了46%，达到了创历史新高的3813万吨，超过了韩国成为世界上仅次于日本的第二大LNG进口国。
中国政府为中国北方数百万家庭供暖以及为数千家工厂提供电力导致了天然气需求激增，从而迫使中国能源公司从尼日利亚、安哥拉和挪威等多个供应国那里采购LNG货物。

China Dec LNG imports climb to record 5.03 million tonnes
China's imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) hit a monthly record of 5.03 million tonnes in December, customs data showed, as purchases spiked to cover a surge in demand under Beijing's push to replace coal with gas for households and factories.
December shipments came in 24 percent ahead of November's previous record of 4.056 million tonnes, and were up 35 percent from a year earlier, according to China's General Administration of Customs. Full-year imports jumped 46 percent compared with 2016 to a record 38.13 million tonnes, according to the customs data, overtaking South Korea as the world's second-largest buyer for the fuel after Japan. Beijing's drive to heat millions of homes and power thousands of factories in northern China with gas has caused a spike in demand, leading companies to pull in cargoes from suppliers as diverse as Nigeria, Angola and Norway.
