中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯5月25日消息，Energy Aspects表示，4月份日本LNG进口量同比下降3.3%至638万吨，主要是因为电力行业天然气需求下降。该公司估计4月份包括独立发电厂在内的日本发电行业的天然气需求同比下降7%。Energy Aspects重申今年日本LNG进口量将减少250万吨的预测，因为今年晚些时候日本将重启两套核电装置。

Japan LNG Imports to Slip in 2016 on More Nuclear Power

[Dow Jones] Japan's LNG imports fell 3.3% on-year in April to 6.38 million tons, dragged by lower gas demand for power, says Energy Aspects, who estimates gas demand from the power sector, including independent power generators fell 7% on-year last month. The firm reiterates its outlook that Japanese LNG imports will fall by 2.5 million tons in 2016 as two units of nuclear power generators are expected to restart later this year.
