报告:2035年美国数据中心天然气消耗或超德日总和
原标题:US data centers could consume more natural gas than Germany and Japan combined by 2035
AI 摘要
BloombergNEF 报告预测,到 2035 年美国数据中心消耗的天然气将超过德国和日本的总和,日消耗量约 180 亿立方英尺,几乎是九个月前预测的两倍。Meta、微软、谷歌和亚马逊等公司正计划建设绕过电网的现场天然气发电厂,而电网连接的数据中心还将额外推动 150 亿立方英尺/日的需求增长。报告警告这可能推高天然气价格,并每天额外产生约 100 万公吨温室气体,相当于当前美国温室气体排放总量的约 12%。

The AI race has grown so frenzied that, by 2035, U.S. data centers are projected to consume more natural gas than Germany and Japan combined. Over the next decade, data centers are expected to be the second-strongest driver of natural gas demand growth after LNG exports. The facilities could consume about 18 billion cubic feet per day, according to a new report from BloombergNEF, nearly double the amount the organization predicted just nine months ago. The new forecast takes into account that no
