Malaysia retains position as world's 5th largest LNG exporter in 2021 —MGA

Malaysia exported 24.9 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 2021, retaining its previous year’s position as the fifth largest LNG exporter after Australia, Qatar, the United States and Russia, the Malaysian Gas Association (MGA) said.

马来西亚天然气协会（MGA）表示：马来西亚 2021 年每年出口 2490 万吨（MTPA）液化天然气（LNG），保持其前一年的第五大液化天然气出口国的地位，仅次于澳大利亚、卡塔尔、美国和俄罗斯。

Citing the 13th annual World LNG Report 2022 released by the International Gas Union (IGU) on Wednesday, MGA said last year’s export of 24.9 MTPA was a slight increase from 23.9 MTPA in 2020.

MGA 援引国际天然气联盟 (IGU) 周三发布的第 13 份《2022 年世界液化天然气报告》称，去年的出口量为 24.9 MTPA，比 2020 年的 23.9 MTPA 略有增加。

“This constitutes about 6.7% of the total LNG traded globally,” it said in a statement on 7th July.

它在7 月 7 日的一份声明中表示: “这约占全球液化天然气交易总量的 6.7%，”

It said Asia Pacific remained the largest LNG exporter region with 131.2 million tonnes LNG being exported last year.

它表示，亚太地区仍然是最大的液化天然气出口地区，去年出口了 1.312 亿吨液化天然气。

Meanwhile, MGA said Malaysia continued to be a technology leader in floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) production, which saw Petroliam Nasional Bhd’s (Petronas) Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Satu (PFLNG1) with a capacity of 1.2 MTPA and Petronas Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Dua (PFLNG2) with a capacity of 1.5 MTPA, came online in 2021.

同时，MGA 表示，马来西亚继续成为浮式液化天然气（FLNG）生产的技术领导者，其中看到 Petroliam Nasional Bhd（Petronas）的 Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Satu（PFLNG1）产能为 1.2 MTPA 和 Petronas Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Dua （PFLNG2）容量为 1.5 MTPA，于 2021 年上线。

“At the end of April 2022, there were only four operational FLNG units globally, the final investment decision (FID) for the third Petronas FLNG is expected to be made by end-2023,” it added.

“截至 2022 年 4 月末，全球只有四个正在运营的 FLNG 装置，预计第三个 Petronas FLNG 的最终投资决定（FID）将于 2023 年底做出，”它补充说。
