北美通过加大天然气出口、利用天然气发电等途径,为富余天然气寻出路。由于页岩气革命,近十多年来美国天然气产量快速增长。然而,由于管输能力和基础设施滞后,许多产区大量天然气无法消化,不得不通过火炬烧掉。且天然气相对于原油的价格过低还会持续下去。为此,北美通过生产合成油、加大天然气出口、利用天然气发电、以及增加燃料份额等途径,为富余的天然气寻 North America finds its way to surplus natural gas by increasing natural gas exports and using natural gas to generate power. Due to the shale gas revolution, natural gas production in the United States has risen rapidly in the past decade or so. However, large volumes of natural gas in many producing areas can not be digested and have to be burned by the torch due to the sluggish capacity of pipelines and infrastructure. And natural gas relative to the low price of crude oil will continue. To this end, North America seeks for surplus natural gas through the production of synthetic oil, increased natural gas exports, the use of natural gas to generate electricity, and increased fuel share
