原标题：印度将在未来五年内将天然气所占份额提高四倍

    中国石化新闻网讯 据管道&天然气杂志网11月23日孟买报道，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪周六表示，印度计划在未来五年内将天然气在能源消费结构中的比重提高近四倍，并将炼油产能提高一倍。

    尽管冠状病毒大流行重创经济，但这一时间表比官员此前描述的要积极得多。

    据6月媒体援引印度能源部长的话称，印度的炼油产能可能在10年内从目前约2.5亿吨的水平跃升至4.5 -5亿吨。

    但是在一次石油大学的会议上，莫迪表示，我们正在努力在未来五年内使国家的炼油能力翻一番。

    亿万富翁穆凯什·安巴尼(Mukesh Ambani)这次集会也谈到了，他的信实工业有限公司(Reliance Industries Ltd)在古吉拉特(Gujarat)经营着世界上最大的炼油厂。

    清洁能源天然气的使用量增加四倍，将占印度能源消耗总量的24%。其目前占该国能源结构的6%左右。

    莫迪还表示，印度将提前实现到2022年将可再生能源发电能力提高到175吉瓦、到2030年达到450吉瓦的目标。截至2018年底，该国可再生能源装机容量约为75吉瓦。

    India Targets Fourfold Increase in Natural Gas Share of Energy Mix

    India plans to nearly quadruple the share of natural gas in its energy-consumption mix and double its oil refining capacity in the next five years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Saturday.

    That indicates a much more aggressive timeline than officials have previously described, despite the coronavirus pandemic blighting the economy.

    The country's energy minister was quoted in June as saying India's oil refining capacity could jump to 450-500 million tonnes in 10 years from the current level of about 250 million tonnes.

    But addressing a petroleum university's convocation, Modi said "work is being done to nearly double the country's oil refining capacity in the next five years".

    The convocation was also addressed virtually by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, whose Reliance Industries Ltd operates the world's biggest oil refinery in state of Gujarat.

    A fourfold increase in cleaner-burning natural gas would result in a 24% share of all energy consumed in India. It currently accounts for about 6% of the country's energy mix.

    India would achieve its targets of increasing renewable energy capacity to 175 gigawatts by 2022 and 450 gigawatts by 2030 ahead of schedule, Modi added. The country had renewable energy capacity of about 75 gigawatts at the end of 2018.
