6、 Xinyi Zhang TotalEditorialThe LNG industry in 2020Jean AbiteboulPresidentDear Colleagues,2020 can be characterized as a year of market volatility. In the face of such volatility, driven by the influence of the pandemic on energy demand in LNG importing countries, weather events, and logistics bottl

7、enecks, the LNG industry has shown resilience and flexibility. Despite a reduction in global energy consumption due to lockdowns around the world, LNG trade grew by 0.4%, reaching 356.1 MT at the end of the year.In the first half of 2020, natural gas demand began to be impacted in many countries as

8、Covid-19 spread and control measures were enacted. The slowdown of global LNG demand coupled with new supply coming onstream resulted in plummeting spot LNG prices and in convergence of the main regional price indices. In this context of reduced demand elasticity and of limited arbitrage opportuniti

9、es, US liquefaction plants provided further flexibility to the LNG market and enabled a physical rebalancing thanks to the ability for off-takers to cancel LNG cargoes, a first in the industrys history and a sign that regional markets are becoming increasingly interdependent. On the importing side,

10、Europe was able to absorb uncommitted volumes during the first half of the year, but reduced its imports during the second half of the year while LNG cargoes were increasingly directed to Asia to take advantage of rapidly escalating JKM prices. LNG demand in China and India recovered relatively quic

11、kly from the Covid impact. Increased competitiveness of LNG versus other fuels and compared to pipeline gas boosted spot LNG procurement in multiple regions.Towards the end of the year, the market recorded price spikes and record high spot shipping charter rates due to infrastructure bottlenecks and

12、 colder than usual weather. The market tightness and high spot LNG prices were a stark reminder that the industry should continue to invest in new capacity.Despite some challenges, the LNG industry witnessed growth in many new areas. Myanmar, which relied on LNG to fuel its growing need for power, j

13、oined the ranks of LNG importing countries last year. New regasification capacity continued to come online, with 8 new terminals commissioned in 2020 in Bahrain, Brazil (2), Croatia, India, Indonesia, Myanmar and Puerto Rico. New uses such as LNG-to-power and LNG as a marine fuel are gaining further

14、 traction driven by LNGs advantages: it is a proven technology, readily available, which offers better environmental perfor-mance than other fossil fuels and is cost competitive. 2020 was a year of milestones for the diversification of LNG uses with the start-up of the first LNG powership, the deliv

15、ery and order of several bunkering vessels, the launch of the first LNG-fueled mega containerships and the largest LNG bunkering operation ever conducted.China, South Asia and South East Asia, where the majority of new receiving terminals under develop-ment are located, offer significant potential f

16、or LNG to help reduce emissions and improve air quality by displacing coal and other polluting fuels in a variety of sectors. Thanks to its flexibility, imported LNG can complement domestic gas production, replace deple-ting local supply sources and facilitate the introduc-tion of intermittent renew

17、able energies. Substantialinvestment in infrastructure and access to low-cost supply will be vital in order for new demand to mate-rialize. It will drive the need for producers and sellers to minimize their capital and operating costs while developing innovative ways of financing in order to deliver

18、 competitively-priced LNG.Our industrys optimism also comes with great res-ponsibilities. Net zero targets have been announced by several countries including Japan, South Korea and China, the three largest LNG importers. Methane emissions could increasingly influence future interna-tional trade disc

19、ussions, in particular with the Euro-pean Union. Fortunately, greenhouse gas emissions associated with the LNG supply chain can be closely monitored and mitigated thanks to the natural gas in-dustrys experience combined with the development of new technologies. As is the case in other sectors, the L

20、NG industry is actively deploying solutions to minimize its carbon footprint, including efforts to avoid, reduce and offset greenhouse gas emissions. Alternative technologies such as electric motors driving the liquefaction process, carbon capture and sequestration, bio-LNG and production of hydroge

21、n from natural gas are allowing to enhance the sustai-nability of the LNG supply chain.In this context, LNG is poised to provide a growing share of the worlds energy supplies, and contribute to an affordable and cleaner economic recovery as well as to a responsible energy transition.Jean AbiteboulPr

25、ared with the previous year. Despite the challenges imposed by the pan-demic, LNG trade has proven re-silient, increasingly diverse and global. Trade continued to grow strongly in the first quarter of 2020 but as demand weakened in the second and third quarters, supply-side adjustments helped balanc

26、e the market. In the fourth quarter a strengthening of de-mand and unplanned liquefac-tion outages resulted in a tighte-ning of the market.Myanmar joined the ranks of im-porting countries. 42* countries imported LNG volumes, from 20 exporting countries.US LNG underpins supply growth and adds flexibi

27、lity to the marketIn 2020, the United States accounted for most of the new supply volumes (+11 MT) due to the ramp up of projects commissioned in 2019 as well as the com-missioning of 5 large-scale liquefaction trains in 2020 (i.e., Cameron LNG trains 2 and 3, Corpus Christi LNG train 3, Freeport LN

28、G trains 2 and 3). New supply was also added by Australia (+2.4 MT) and the Russian Federation (+0.3 MT). Unlike previous years, 2020 was characterized by a deceleration of new LNG supply coming on stream. Almost all exporting countries experienced decreases in their exports, with the greatest decli

29、nes in Trinidad & Tobago and Malaysia (-2.4 MT each), followed by Egypt (-2.1 MT).The Atlantic Basin is the only region which expe-rienced growth in 2020 (+3.2 MT), while the Pacific Basin and the Middle East recorded declines of 0.5 MT and 1.3 MT respectively. The Pacific Basin remains the largest

30、source of LNG supplies to the global mar-ket with 146.2 MT or 41% of the total global market, followed by the Atlantic Basin with 117.4 MT or a 33% market share and the Middle East with 92.6 MT, a 26% market share.As production from the US continues to increase, the gap between supply from the Pacif

31、ic Basin and the Atlantic Basin has narrowed, from 33 MT in 2019 to 28.8 MT in 2020, whereas the gap between the Pacific Basin and the Middle East has slightly widened.Among LNG supplying countries, Australia and Qatar lead the pack, with 77.8 MT and 77.1 MT respectively. This is the first time that

32、 Australia has taken over Qatar as leading exporter on an annual basis. Behind these two, the hierarchy of supplying countries remains unchanged, the United States being third with 44.8 MT, followed by the Russian Federation with 29.6 MT, and Malaysia with 23.9 MT.Asia drives global demand growthAsi

33、a continues to be the leading importing region with a 71% share of global LNG imports, up from 69% in 2019. Asian LNG imports grew by 3.4% in 2020, reaching 254.4 MT. Imports rose in all Asian countries except Japan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. Japan experienced the greatest decreas

34、e in LNG imports (-2.4 MT) which represented a fall of 3.2%. This happened notably due to lower LNG imports during the second quarter of 2020 following the lockdown measures which were implemented wit-hin the country and their downward impact on elec-tricity consumption. However, LNG imports showed

35、a progressive recovery from June onwards with a spike in December 2020 due to the exceptionally cold weather. Despite this, Japan remains the leading LNG importing country in the world with 74.4 MT or a 20.9% market share. South Korea experienced a moderate growth in LNG imports (+0.7 MT), which wer

36、e up du-ring the first quarter due to temporary closures of coal plants mandated by the government, and during the last quarter due to the economic recovery and below average temperatures at the start of the winter season. During the summer, mild weather and the decrease in demand for manufacturing

37、which followed the pan-demic resulted in lower than usual imports.China experienced the greatest growth in terms of imported volumes (+7.2 MT or +11.7%), which is below its 2019 growth of 14%. The main surge of LNG imports took place during the second quarter of 2020, when LNG imports were favored o

38、ver pipeline imports, as a consequence of lower spot LNG prices. China remains the second largest LNG importer glo-bally, with 68.9 MT or a 19.3% market share - up by almost 2% from its 2019 market share (17.4%).43%of US volumes delivered to Asia, 41% to Europe, 13% to Americas.40%of volumes importe

40、ries have also seen important in-creases in their LNG consumption: in India, imports grew by 11% (+ 2.7 MT) in response to a higher demand driven by lower spot LNG prices. Stronger LNG imports were also underpinned by the start of operations of the Mundra LNG terminal and in-creased utilization rate

41、 of the Kochi LNG termi-nal. Imports also increased by 1.1 MT in Taiwan (+6.6%), 0.6 MT in Thailand (+12.2%), 0.1 MT in Bangladesh (+2.5%) and 0.2 MT in Myanmar, which joined the rank of LNG importers in May 2020.2020 was a year of two halves for Europes LNG imports. During the first half, the regio

42、n acted as a market of last resort. During the second half, Europe recorded a decrease in LNG imports compared to the previous year due to a decrease in demand for natu-ral gas because of lockdowns, while storages filled up and US cargoes were cancelled. Overall, net LNG imports decreased by -5% com

43、pared to 2019, totaling 81.6 MT, a decrease of 4.3 MT. France (-2.5 MT or -16.1%) and Belgium (-1.9 MT or -36.9%) showed the most significant declines, whereas Turkey recorded the most important increase (+1.35 MT or 14.4%). The three leading LNG importers in Europe remain Spain (15.4 MT), followed

44、by the United Kingdom (13.4 MT), which overtook France, now the third largest importing country in the region (13.1 MT).As the region was severely affected by the Covid pandemic, Europe continued to meet natural gas demand by importing significant LNG volumes thanks to its well connected gas markets

45、 and its ability to in-ject gas in underground gas storage.Imports into the American region decreased by 16% (-2.6 MT) to 13.2 MT in 2020, down from 15.8 MT in2019. Mexican imports decreased by 61.5% (-3 MT), as the country is now less reliant on LNG imports fol-lowing the start of operations of new

46、 pipelines that connect the country with US natural gas supply. Chile (2.7 MT or +9.8%) is now the leading importer in South America, followed by Brazil (2.4 MT or +3.2%). Jamaica experienced the greatest increase in the growth of LNG imports (+160%), due to an increased use of natural gas for power generation, followed
