據(jù)彭博社7月17日報道， 日本計劃提議建立類似于石油領(lǐng)域緊急儲備的全球天然氣儲備，以幫助避免未來的燃氣短缺并穩(wěn)定價格。

據(jù)知情人士透露，日本政府將建議國際能源署為成員國創(chuàng)建燃氣儲備框架。該提議將在本周二于東京舉行的會議上提出，據(jù)其中一位知情人士透露，由于相關(guān)細節(jié)屬于私密信息，該人士要求不透露姓名。

日本貿(mào)易部正在與國際能源署共同組織液化天然氣生產(chǎn)消費者大會，但本周一是日本的公共假日，該部門并未立即回應置評請求。

日本政府計劃在明年2月國際能源署部長級會議的議程中納入其燃氣儲備提案。國際能源署已要求成員國（如美國和日本）在緊急情況下至少保有相當于凈進口量的90天石油儲備，而日本的提案旨在為燃氣儲備創(chuàng)建類似的策略。

去年地緣政治沖突顛覆了全球燃氣市場，導致天然氣價格創(chuàng)下歷史新高，并引發(fā)人們對燃料供應安全的擔憂。今年早些時候在七國集團峰會上，日本和德國推動了保留公共投資燃氣可能性的相關(guān)議程。

歐盟成員國已經(jīng)設(shè)定了天然氣儲存目標，但全球框架尚不存在。將燃料儲存更長時間可能對日本和韓國等亞洲國家構(gòu)成挑戰(zhàn)，因為它們通常采用液化天然氣形式，隨著時間的推移會出現(xiàn)逸散。

Japan Eyes Creation of Global Gas Stockpile

Japan plans to propose a global stockpile for natural gas, similar to the emergency reserve in the oil sector, to help avoid future shortages and stabilize prices.

The nation’s government will suggest that the International Energy Agency should create a gas stockpiling framework for member nations, according to people familiar with the details. The proposal will be set out during a conference in Tokyo on Tuesday, said one of the people, who asked not to be named as the details are private.

Japan’s trade ministry, which is co-organizing the LNG Producer-Consumer Conference with the IEA, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday, a public holiday in Japan.

The government aims for its gas stockpile proposal to be included in the agenda for an IEA ministerial meeting in February. The IEA already requires member nations, such as the US and Japan, to have an emergency reserve of oil equivalent to at least 90 days of net imports for times of emergency, and Japan’s proposal is targeted toward creating a similar strategy for gas.

The war last year upended gas markets around the world, triggering record-high prices and stoking worries about security of fuel supplies. At the Group of Seven summit earlier this year, Japan and Germany pushed for the inclusion of language that left the door open for public investment in gas.

European Union member states already have natural gas storage targets, but a global framework doesn’t yet exist. Storing the fuel for longer periods of time could be challenging for Asian countries like Japan and South Korea, which typically keep it in the form of liquefied natural gas that evaporates over time.
