据油价网7月6日报道， 据彭博社援引政府数据报道，澳大利亚的出口额在5月份达到了近80亿美元。

虽然能源商品出口在该月略微增加，但其价值推动了总体增长。数据显示，澳大利亚煤炭、焦炭和燃煤球团出口增长了1.6%，而包括液化天然气在内的矿物燃料出口增长了3.4%。

本月早些时候，澳大利亚资源部报告称，由于价格上涨，能源和矿产商品出口收入在最新财年出现了激增，但预计在当前财年将出现下降。

数据显示，2022/2023财年能源和其他资源出口增长了9%，达到约3000亿美元（4600亿澳元），创下历史新高。

然而，该国预计这一数据在下一个财年将下降15%至约2600亿美元（3900亿澳元），在之后的一年进一步下降至约2900亿美元（3440亿澳元）。

据数据提供商EnergyQuest今年早些时候发布的数据显示，澳大利亚液化天然气出口在2022年达到历史最高水平的8140万吨，比上一年的出口增长了0.5%。大部分出口去往日本，亚洲大国排名第二。

在当前财年，由于国际价格下跌，液化天然气出口的价值预计将下降27%。煤炭出口也有望下降约40%。

美国能源信息管理局本周早些时候报告称，去年全球液化天然气贸易量达到历史最高水平，日均达到517亿立方英尺。

美国的液化天然气需求增长最为迅猛，从略高于20亿立方英尺增长到超过100亿立方英尺。

澳大利亚天然气需求的增长较小，约为20亿立方英尺，但仍相当可观。

Energy Exports Boost Australia’s Trade Surplus

Australia’s exports swelled to almost $8 billion in May, or A$11.8 billion, more than a billion Australian dollars over expectations, Bloomberg has reported, citing government data.

Energy commodity exports increased modestly during the reported month but their value pushed the total higher. Coal, coke, and briquette exports rose by 1.6%, the data showed, while mineral fuel exports including liquefied natural gas rose by 3.4%.

Earlier this month, the Australian resources ministry reported a surge in energy and mining commodity export income for the latest financial year thanks to higher prices but forecast a decline for the current financial year.

Energy and other resource exports in financial 2022/23 rose by 9%, the data showed, reaching a record-high value of some $300 billion, or A$460 billion.

However, they are set to decline by 15% in the next financial year to about $260 billion, or A$390 billion, falling further in the year after, to about $290 billion, or A$344 billion.

Australian LNG exports hit a record in 2022, reaching 81.4 million tons, which was 0.5% higher than the previous year’s exports. Most of the exports went to Japan, and the biggest country in Asia took second place, according to data from EnergyQuest released earlier this year.

In the current financial year, LNG exports are set to decline by a sizeable 27% in terms of value as international prices have fallen. Coal exports are also expected to decline, by some 40%.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that global LNG trade had risen to a record last year, reaching 51.7 billion cubic feet daily.

The United States saw the sharpest increase in demand for its liquefied gas, from a little over 2 billion cubic feet daily to more than 10 billion cubic feet daily.

The rise in demand for Australian gas was smaller, at about 2 billion cubic feet daily, but still quite significant.
