????通訊員 據《世界能源新聞》休斯敦報道，美國最大的液化天然氣（LNG）生產商錢尼爾能源公司2月24日上調了其調整后的全年收益預期，預計隨著COVID-19疫苗接種促進經濟復蘇，全球對這種清潔燃料的需求將增加。
????去年，為遏制疫情而實施的封鎖措施大幅降低了能源需求，并降低了天然氣價格。但隨著亞洲(尤其是中國)的經濟復蘇，這種燃燒清潔的燃料銷售也開始回升。
????錢尼爾能源公司首席商務官Anatol Feygin在與分析師的網絡直播中表示，“由于新冠病毒疫苗的分發和全球經濟活動的繼續加強，我們預計全球LNG需求將繼續改善。”“我們認為，未來幾十年，全球LNG需求還會繼續增長。”
????由于庫存減少、冬季氣候寒冷、生產中斷和運輸延誤，亞洲LNG價格1月份飆升至創紀錄高位。
????錢尼爾能源公司首席執行官杰克·富斯科說，隨著國際油價上漲，美國LNG貨物的利潤空間擴大，客戶拒絕收貨的情況已基本停止。????福斯科說，盡管2月21日晚上停電導致科珀斯克里斯蒂LNG廠的業務中斷，但美國德克薩斯州最近的寒冷天氣和風暴沒有造成實質性影響。該公司與州和地方官員、供應商和客戶密切合作，以減輕運營影響，其位于路易斯安那州的薩賓帕斯LNG廠滿足了市場需求。
????錢尼爾能源公司把調整后息稅折舊及攤銷前收益的預估上調至41-44億美元，此前曾預估為39-42億美元。
????錢尼爾能源公司還表示，該公司計劃從2022年起向客戶提供與每批LNG貨物相關的溫室氣體排放數據。

????Cheniere Expects Rising LNG Demand with Vaccine Rollout
????Cheniere Energy Inc, the top U.S. liquefied natural gas producer, on Wednesday raised its full-year adjusted earnings forecast, predicting higher demand for the fuel as COVID-19 vaccinations boost economic recovery.
????Lockdown measures implemented to curb the pandemic slashed demand for energy and hurt prices for natural gas in 2020. But with economic recovery in Asia, particularly in China, fuel sales have picked up.
????"We expect continued LNG demand improvements as COVID vaccines are distributed and global economic activity continues to strengthen," Chief Commercial Officer Anatol Feygin said in a webcast with analysts. "We think there are decades and decades of LNG growth ahead of us."
????LNG prices in Asia surged to record highs in January due to low stocks, a cold winter, production outages and shipping delays.?
????The refusal of customers to take delivery has largely ceased with expanded margins on U.S. cargoes as gas prices internationally rose, Chief Executive Jack Fusco said.
????The recent frigid weather and storm in Texas resulted in no material impact, despite a power outage that took Corpus Christi operations out on Sunday night, Fusco said.
????The company worked closely with state and local officials, suppliers and customers to mitigate operational impacts, and its Sabine Pass, Louisiana, plant covered demand from its customers.
????Cheniere raised its forecast for adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to between $4.1 and $4.4 billion, from its prior estimate of $3.9 and $4.2 billion.
????Cheniere also said it plans to provide greenhouse gas emissions data associated with each LNG cargo to customers beginning in 2022.
