China Natural Gas Sector Report 2018/2022

As the world’s most populous country with a fast-expanding economy, China has great demand for and strong capacity to produce energy. The country was the world’s third biggest consumer and sixth biggest producer of natural gas in 2017. As a result of its successful and rapid industrialisation process in recent years, China has suffered from severe air pollution in major cities. To reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality, the government has called for action to increase the share of clean energy in the energy consumption mix. Natural gas is expected to meet 10% of total energy needs by 2020 vs 7% in 2017. The sector is still largely controlled by the government, although a partial liberalisation is underway, a move the authorities hope will increase labour and capital resource efficiency.
