訊 據(jù)網(wǎng)站7月27日消息 加拿大會(huì)議委員會(huì)和加拿大液化天然氣聯(lián)盟資助的一份新報(bào)告稱，不列顛哥倫比亞省每年5600萬噸的液化天然氣行業(yè)將創(chuàng)造近10萬個(gè)就業(yè)崗位。
對(duì)于附近的阿爾伯塔省來說，在反輸油管道運(yùn)動(dòng)下苦苦掙扎的阿爾伯塔省，在獲得利潤(rùn)的同時(shí)，整個(gè)加拿大的10萬個(gè)工作崗位，不僅僅是在不列顛哥倫比亞，可能無法彌補(bǔ)在不列顛哥倫比亞省與急需的跨山輸油管道進(jìn)行激烈斗爭(zhēng)后，其從油砂作業(yè)中損失的擴(kuò)大。
對(duì)不列顛哥倫比亞省來說，這將是一個(gè)甜蜜的勝利，因?yàn)樗鼘@得超過三分之二的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。
除了就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，液化天然氣行業(yè)的工資總額將增加60多億美元（不列顛哥倫比亞省為46億美元），并使加拿大的國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值每年增加110億美元。報(bào)告稱，各省可獲得超過1080億美元的省級(jí)財(cái)政收入，其中940億美元將用于不列顛哥倫比亞省。
聯(lián)邦政府將獲得大約640億美元的額外收入。
根據(jù)《新興浪潮：不列顛哥倫比亞省液化天然氣行業(yè)的經(jīng)濟(jì)影響》的報(bào)告，液化天然氣行業(yè)的成本約為5000億美元，時(shí)間跨度超過40年。
不列顛哥倫比亞省和阿爾伯塔省之間的斗爭(zhēng)已經(jīng)持續(xù)了多年，以阿爾伯塔的石油為中心，有一條必須貫穿的管道。這一分歧引發(fā)了訴訟和石油儲(chǔ)備的威脅，聯(lián)邦政府陷入了困境。
不幸的是，加拿大近年來在推動(dòng)能源項(xiàng)目方面并沒有很好的記錄，雄心勃勃的液化天然氣行業(yè)帶來的挑戰(zhàn)比解決方案還多。

LNG Industry Could Bring 100,000 Jobs To Canada
A new report by the Conference Board of Canada, and funded by the Canadian LNG Alliance, determined that a 56-million-tonnes-per-year LNG industry in British Columbia would generate nearly 100,000 jobs.
For nearby Alberta, who has struggled under the anti-pipeline movement to get its oil its primary market, the United States, while turning a profit, those 100,000 jobs—in Canada as a whole, not just in B.C.--may not make up for what it lost from oilsands operations after B.C. fought tooth and nail against the much-needed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
For B.C., who would be the recipient of more than two-thirds of those jobs, it would be sweet victory.
In addition to the jobs, total wages from an LNG industry would be boosted by more than $6 billion ($4.6 billion for B.C.), and increase Canada’s GDP by $11 billion annually. More than $108 billion in provincial revenue could be generated for the provinces, according to the report, with $94 billion of it going to B.C.
The federal government would receive about $64 billion in additional revenue.
Of course, that LNG industry would come at a cost—of about $500 billion, spread over more than forty years, according to the report “A Rising Tide: The Economic Impact of B.C.’s liquified natural gas industry”.
The war between B.C. and Alberta has been raging for years, centered around Alberta’s oil and a pipeline that must run through B.C. The disagreement has sparked threats of lawsuits and withholding the oil, with the federal government caught in the middle.
Unfortunately for Canada, it doesn’t have a great track record in recent years for getting energy projects off the ground, and an ambitious LNG industry poses more challenges than solutions.
