China Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) Industry Prospects and Investment Forecast Report, 2013-2017

China is in the developing stage of industrialization that the energy structure is major as coal and it is a tough job to control the emission of greenhouse gases. The natural gas is kind of clean energy as the greenhouse produced by natural gas is only 1/2 of the coal and 2/3 of the petroleum. It contributes far less to the environmental pollution than petroleum and coal. Accordingly fasten the development and optimize the utilization of natural gas can efficiently improve the atmospheric environment and promote to realize the target of emission reduction. The global climate change will increase the demand of natural gas and bring opportunities to the development of natural gas and LNG industry.

The annual output of China’s LNG reaches 9 million tons in 2010. Two LNG import receiving stations in Jiangsu and Dalian of CNPC put into operation in 2011. The domestic LNG factories and downstream supporting facilities go into production in the same year too. It results in a considerable growth of LNG output that it exceeds 15 million tons in 2011. By the end of 2011 there are 5 LNG receiving stations which have been put into production and 6 projects which are approved by government and under construction, they are: CNOOC Zhejiang Ningbo LNG, CNOOC Zhuhai Gold Bay LNG, CNOOC East Guangdong Jieyang LNG, CNPC Hebei LNG, Sinopec Shandong Qingdao LNG, and Dongguang Jiufeng LNG. With the construction and operation of the projects, the LNG reserve in China will continuously increase. LNG is a clean energy which meets the developing direction of energy saving, environmental protection and low-carbon economy at home and abroad. The consumption amount in the future will keep enlarging. To sum up, the industry with optimistic prospects.
