美国“页岩气革命”来势迅猛

The huge impact of the American “shale gas revolution”

据美国剑桥能源集团数据显示，页岩气占美国天然气的总产量已从2000年的2％升至2012年的37％。仅仅经过4年时间，美国即超越了俄罗斯，从全球最大的天然气进口国成为最大的天然气生产国。据预测，美国最迟将于2021年成为天然气净出口国。

Due to the international financial crisis in 2008, shale gas finally became the favoured energy of risk investment, and thus have led to the successful 'shale gas revolution'. Since then, the energy supply market of the United States quickly reverses. According to the data of the Cambridge Energy Group, the total output of shale gas has rose from 2% in 2000 to 37% in 2012 of the natural gas production. Only after four years, the United States is beyond the Russia, from the world's largest natural gas importer to the largest producer of natural gas. It is predicted that the United States will become a net exporter of natural gas in 2021. After the basic industry, the influence of 'shale gas revolution' will also further transfer to the American auto industry, shipbuilding industry, aircraft industry, tool manufacturing, industrial machine, engineering machinery and other industries.
