据俄罗斯油气网莫斯科报道，天然气出口国论坛（GECF）秘书长尤里·森图林日前表示，GECF预计，全球天然气产量和消费量到2050年前将从目前的3.9万亿立方米增加到6万亿立方米。
俄罗斯能源部长诺瓦克在二十国集团能源部长会议结束后补充说，这一增长将使天然气在全球能源平衡中的比例从27%提高到34%。
二十国集团能源部长会议还得出结论，在此期间，市场将会全球化，竞争将会继续增长。森图林表示，交通部门将是天然气增长最快的领域。
诺瓦克补充说，GECF还没有讨论该组织如何效仿欧佩克。诺瓦克说：“我们没有讨论把GECF变成卡特尔，GECF是一个讨论市场形势和分享经验的平台。”
GECF将于11月26日至29日在赤道几内亚首都马拉博举行第五届峰会和第二届国际天然气研讨会。
赤道几内亚石油部长Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima在会议结束后表示：“我们的目标是鼓励更多非洲国家使用更多天然气。”

GECF sees global gas consumption of 6 trillion cu m by 2050
The Gas Exporting Countries Forum expects global production and consumption of natural gas to increase to 6 trillion cu m by 2050 from 3.9 trillion cu m today, Secretary General Yury Sentyurin said on October 3.
This growth will boost gas' role in the global energy balance from 27% to 34% in the same period, Russian energy minister Alexander Novak added following a ministerial meeting of the group.
The group also concluded that the market will globalize and competition will continue to grow during the period. Sentyurin said that the transport sector will be the biggest growth area for gas.
Novak added that the group has not discussed modeling the GECF on OPEC. "We didn't discuss turning GECF into cartel, it's a platform for discussing market situation and sharing experience," Novak said.
The GECF will hold its fifth summit and second international gas seminar in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea November 26-29.
"Our objective will be to encourage more African countries to use more gas," Equatorial Guinea oil minister Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima said after the meeting on October 3.
