中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网3月1日报道称，2月是欧洲基准天然气价格连续第三个月下跌的月份，月度连续下跌幅度延至2020年以来最大，因为天气温和、库存充足以及需求暴跌拖累了价格。
据彭博社估计，作为欧洲天然气交易基准的TTF中心的前月期货在2月份下跌了19%，自年初以来下跌了40%左右。
2月最后一天，阿姆斯特丹的TTF期货结算价为每兆瓦时49.50美元（46.67欧元），当日下跌1.3%。
上个月，欧洲基准电价自2021年8月以来首次跌破50欧元（53美元）每兆瓦时的门槛。自2022年8月以来，每兆瓦时300欧元（318美元）的历史新高，如今价格已下降85%以上。冬季仅剩3月，由于气候温和，欧洲大陆的天然气库存高于平均水平，对欧洲天然气危机的担忧继续消退。
欧盟统计局（Eurostat）上周的数据显示，欧盟成功实现了今年冬季削减天然气需求的目标。数据显示，与五年平均水平相比，欧盟的冬季需求迄今下降了19.3%，超过了为帮助其度过冬季而设定的15%的目标。
国际能源署（IEA）周二在其季度天然气报告中表示，2022年，欧洲经合组织的天然气消费量估计下降了13%，这是有史以来最大的绝对降幅。

European Natural Gas Prices Post Longest Monthly Losing Streak Since 2020

Prices are now more than 85% down from the record high of 300 euros ($318) per MWh from August 2022. With>The European Union managed to beat its target for cutting gas demand this winter, Eurostat data showed last week. According to the data, the EU’s winter demand had so far dropped by 19.3% compared to the five-year average, beating the 15% goal it set for itself to help it survive the winter.
Natural gas consumption in OECD Europe fell by an estimated 13% in 2022, its steepest decline in absolute terms in history, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in its quarterly gas report on Tuesday.
