Japan set to overtake China as world's top LNG importer

جاپان دنیا کا سب سے بڑا ایل این جی درآمد کنندہ بننے کے قریب، چین پیچھے

जापान दुनिया का सबसे बड़ा एलएनजी आयातक बनने के करीब, चीन पीछे

Japan set to overtake China as world's top LNG importer

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • Japan is expected to import slightly more liquefied natural gas than China in 2026, taking back the position of world's largest LNG importer for the first time since 2022.
  • Consultancy ICIS expects Japan to import 62 million tonnes this year against China's 61 million tonnes.
  • China's imports are projected to fall about 19 percent from their 2024 peak of around 77 million tonnes, as high prices, weak demand, fuller gas storage and a bigger role for coal weigh on purchases.
  • توقع ہے کہ جاپان 2026 میں چین سے تھوڑی زیادہ مائع قدرتی گیس (ایل این جی) درآمد کرے گا، اور 2022 کے بعد پہلی بار دنیا کے سب سے بڑے ایل این جی درآمد کنندہ کی پوزیشن واپس لے لے گا۔ مشاورتی ادارے آئی سی آئی ایس کے مطابق جاپان اس سال 62 ملین ٹن درآمد کرے گا جبکہ چین 61 ملین ٹن۔ چین کی درآمدات 2024 کی بلند ترین سطح تقریباً 77 ملین ٹن سے تقریباً 19 فیصد کم ہونے کی توقع ہے، کیونکہ زیادہ قیمتیں، کمزور طلب، گیس ذخائر کا بھر جانا اور کوئلے کا بڑھتا کردار خریداری پر اثر ڈال رہے ہیں۔ جاپان کی اپنی درآمدات بھی کم ہو رہی ہیں، لیکن آہستہ، کیونکہ دوبارہ چلنے والے ایٹمی ری ایکٹرز نے درآمدی گیس کی ضرورت کم کر دی ہے۔
  • उम्मीद है कि जापान 2026 में चीन से थोड़ी अधिक तरलीकृत प्राकृतिक गैस (एलएनजी) आयात करेगा, और 2022 के बाद पहली बार दुनिया के सबसे बड़े एलएनजी आयातक का स्थान वापस ले लेगा। परामर्श संस्था आईसीआईएस के अनुसार जापान इस साल 62 मिलियन टन आयात करेगा जबकि चीन 61 मिलियन टन। चीन का आयात 2024 के शिखर लगभग 77 मिलियन टन से करीब 19 प्रतिशत घटने की उम्मीद है, क्योंकि ऊँची कीमतें, कमज़ोर माँग, गैस भंडार का भर जाना और कोयले की बढ़ती भूमिका खरीद पर असर डाल रही हैं। जापान का अपना आयात भी घट रहा है, लेकिन धीरे, क्योंकि फिर से चालू हुए परमाणु रिएक्टरों ने आयातित गैस की ज़रूरत कम कर दी है।

Japan is expected to import slightly more liquefied natural gas than China in 2026, taking back the position of world's largest LNG importer for the first time since 2022. Consultancy ICIS expects Japan to import 62 million tonnes this year against China's 61 million tonnes. China's imports are projected to fall about 19 percent from their 2024 peak of around 77 million tonnes, as high prices, weak demand, fuller gas storage and a bigger role for coal weigh on purchases. Japan's own imports are also easing, but more slowly, as restarted nuclear reactors reduce its need for imported gas.
