澳洲與日本就能源互惠貿易達成協議

By

-- 澳洲總理安東尼·阿爾巴尼斯週一發表聲明稱,澳洲已與日本達成協議,加強能源安全,包括加強能源產品的互惠貿易。 阿爾巴尼斯總理辦公室在與日本首相高市早苗會晤後發表聲明稱,兩國已同意合作,確保包括能源和天然氣在內的重要物資在兩國間的流通。 聲明指出,澳洲供應日本約三分之一的能源,是澳洲液化天然氣的最大買家;而日本則是澳洲汽油和柴油的供應國。 聲明總結道,此次重申的承諾表明澳洲「致力於開放、基於規則的貿易,並支持兩國間重要能源產品的流通」。 聲明強調了該協議對兩國互惠互利的益處。 然而,上週,能源經濟與金融分析研究所發布了一份報告,呼籲澳洲政府在全球能源危機背景下減少對日本的液化天然氣出口,因為日本進口部分液化天然氣是為了立即轉售給其他國家。 基於此,能源經濟與金融分析研究所(IEEFA)表示,日本購買部分能源的目的純粹出於商業考量,而非出於能源供應安全考量。
