据普氏能源资讯12月10日伦敦报道，总部位于日内瓦的全球著名大宗商品贸易商托克公司在截至今年9月30日的财政年度把液化天然气（LNG）交易量猛增了22%，达到了990万吨。
这一显著增长是由亚洲尤其是由中国和韩国需求激增推动的。
托克公司说，在中国政府制定的一项旨在进口天然气减少发电对煤炭依赖政策的支持下，中国今年迄今为止LNG进口量同比增加了45%。
在韩国，液化天然气购买量也大幅上升，原因是核产量下降，加之冬季寒和夏季炎热。
尽管核能和可再生能源发电量都在上升，但日本的季节性LNG进口依然强劲。
由于基础设施扩张释放了进一步的需求，2018年来自印度的LNG进口量增加了19%。
托克公司说，巴基斯坦和孟加拉国等其它新兴市场LNG需求“继续显示出增长潜力”。
该公司说，其液化天然气业务在亚洲市场上所占份额已跃升至30%。
