China Natural Gas Sector Report 2016/2017

As China has grown to become the world's biggest economy, the production, imports and consumption of natural gas have turned into a crucial component of the country's growth and energy needs, especially given the government’s increasing emphasis on energy saving and low-carbon development, aimed at reducing greenhouse gases and cutting the air pollution that results from the country's heavy use of coal. The typical natural gas customers in China include residential, commercial and industrial users, electricity power generators, the transportation (CNG/LNG refilling stations for NGVs) and chemical sectors. The sector’s upcoming reform will open up new opportunities for investment in the upstream segment especially with the spin-off of pipeline assets, which already started in late 2015 and is deepening in 2016.
