中国石化新闻网讯 据管道&天然气杂志网12月12日报道，国际能源署（IEA）周一表示，欧盟有足够的天然气过冬，但如果进一步削减供应，明年可能面临短缺，敦促各国政府加快行动，节约能源并扩大可再生能源。
尽管今年大幅削减了天然气供应，但欧洲避免了严重短缺，并在冬季开始时，储气罐满溢，这在一定程度上要归功于欧盟采取的紧急储气措施，再加上一段幸运的温和天气和高企的天然气价格抑制了对该燃料的需求。
但明年可能面临比能源危机更严峻的考验。今年的能源危机导致欧洲家庭的燃料费用上涨，并迫使一些企业暂时关闭，以避免天然气成本大幅上升。
IEA表示，如果削减仍向欧洲输送的少量天然气份额，而亚洲的天然气需求从疫情封锁引发的低点反弹，那么欧盟在2023年可能面临270亿立方米的天然气缺口。2021年欧盟天然气总消费量为4120亿立方米。
IEA执行干事法提赫·比罗尔在布鲁塞尔与欧盟委员会举行的新闻发布会上表示，这是一个严峻的挑战。
IEA称，可以通过扩大补贴和政策，改造耗气建筑，用热泵取代化石燃料供暖，以及大规模推广可再生能源，来避免能源短缺。
比罗尔表示，这所需的1000亿欧元(约合1060亿美元)投资将在两年内通过降低天然气费用来偿还。
欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩（Ursula von der Leyen）建议成立一个欧盟“团结基金”，利用欧盟资金和其他资金来源为能源投资筹集资金。
冯德莱恩表示，欧盟的天然气供应“在今年冬天是安全的”，欧盟27国正在为下明年冬季做准备。
据路透社看到的一份会议结论草案显示，欧盟各国领导人将在周四布鲁塞尔峰会上呼吁为明年冬季的能源供应制定早期应急计划。
然而，欧盟各国在如何解决能源价格高企的问题上仍存在分歧。他们的能源部长将于周二召开紧急会议，试图就在欧盟内部存在分歧的天然气价格上限达成一致。

IEA: EU Could Face 27 Bcm Gas Shortage Next Year
The European Union has enough gas for the winter but could face a shortage next year if it cuts supplies further, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said>Despite slashing gas deliveries this year, Europe has averted a severe shortage and started the winter with brimming gas storage tanks — thanks in part to emergency EU measures to fill storage, plus a lucky spell of mild weather and high gas prices that dampened demand for the fuel.
But next year may pose an even tougher test than the energy crunch that has this year hiked fuel bills for European households and forced industries to temporarily close to avoid crippling gas costs.
If it was to cut the small share of gas it still delivers to Europe, and Asia gas demand rebounded from COVID-19 lockdown-induced lows, the EU could face a gas shortfall of 27 billion cubic meters (Bcm) in 2023, the IEA said. Total EU gas consumption was 412 Bcm in 2021.
"This is a serious challenge," IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol told a press conference with the European Commission in Brussels.
The shortage could be averted by expanding subsidies and policies to renovate gas-guzzling buildings, replace fossil fuel-based heating with heat pumps and massively expand renewable energy, the IEA said.
The 100 billion euros ($106 billion) investment this requires would be paid back within two years through lower gas bills, Birol said.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen suggested forming an EU "solidarity fund" to raise cash for energy investments - using both EU money and additional funding sources.
Von der Leyen said the bloc's gas supply was "safe for this winter" and the 27-country EU was preparing for the next>EU country leaders will call for the preparation of early contingency plans for energy supply next winter at a summit in Brussels>However, countries are still at odds over how to address high energy prices. Their energy ministers hold an emergency meeting>($1 = 0.9469 euros)
