据报道，美国能源部拟于2月下旬就页岩气等液化天然气(LNG)出口作出最终决定，3月中旬可发出首批出口许可。除与美国签署自贸协定(FTA)的国家外，美国内也正在积极研究将优先出口范围扩大至日本等同盟国和北约成员。目前，美国能源部已收到15项国际出口计划申请，将在加强环境保护的前提下，根据相关原则和申请顺序逐一进行审查，并作出是否允许出口的决定，以便在2015-2017年开始出口前尽早确定订单。

According to the report,The United States department of energy by late February is shale gas and liquefied natural gas(LNG)Export to make final decision,Mid-march can give the first export license.In addition to sign the fta with the United States(FTA)Countries outside,In the United States is also actively research will give priority to export expanded to Japan equate Allies and NATO members.At present,The United States department of energy have received 15 international export plan to apply for,In the premise of strengthening environmental protection,In accordance with the relevant principles and application in order to review,And make a decision whether to allow the export decision,So that in 2015-2017 start export before confirm the order as soon as possible.

　　在出口计划审查中，日本企业优先度较高。其中，中部电力和大阪天然气联合申请的德克萨斯州Freeport项目有望最早获得批准，2017年预计对日本初始出口规模440万吨，最大年出口能力1300万吨。三井物产和三菱商事联合申请的路易斯安那州的Cameron项目也较早提出申请，有望获得批准，最大年出口能力1200万吨。东京电力2月6日宣布将自2017年开始20年间通过上述两公司每年进口80万吨LNG。住友商事和东京天然气联合申请了马里兰州Cove Point项目，最大年出口能力500万吨。

In export plans in the review,Japanese enterprise higher priority.the,The central power and Osaka gas combined application of Freeport Texas project is expected to be approved first,In 2017 is expected to export to Japan initial size of 4.4 million tons,The biggest export capacity of 13 million tons.Mitsui properties and mitsubishi commercial joint application of Louisiana Cameron program also apply early,Is expected to be approved,The biggest export capacity of 12 million tons.Tokyo electric announced on February 6, two decades since 2017 by the above two companies each year 800000 tons of LNG import.Sumitomo and Tokyo gas joint applied for Maryland Cove Point project,The biggest export capacity of 5 million tons.

　　日本政府苦于能源短缺和LNG进口成本过高，一直通过驻美大使佐佐江贤一郎游说美国政府尽早批准LNG出口。本月下旬日美领导人会谈也将把这一问题作为经济领域主要议题。美国对日LNG出口将从2017年开始，此前需投入大量资金进行相关基础设施建设，但即使包含运输成本，美国产LNG进口成本也仅相当于目前国际价格的一半，对日本降低电力成本，改善贸易赤字具有重要作用。美国通过页岩气革命有望成为全球最大的石油和天然气生产国，日欧等消费国主要依赖中东和俄罗斯的能源体制将发生改变，并对从安保到企业战略等各个方面都产生广泛影响。

The Japanese government suffer from energy shortages and LNG import cost is too high,Have been through the ambassador kenichiro sasae lobbying the U.S. government approval LNG export as soon as possible.This month, the japan-american leaders will also put the problem areas of the economy as a major issues.In the United States, LNG export will begin from 2017,After spending a large amount of money to related infrastructure construction,But even include transportation cost,The United States produce LNG import costs also is only half of the international price,To reduce the cost of electricity to Japan,Improve the trade deficit has an important role.The United States through the shale gas revolution is expected to become the world's largest oil and gas producer,, Europe and other consumer mainly depends on the Middle East and Russia's energy system will change,And from the security to the enterprise strategy and other aspects have wide influence.
