1 thought on “How about natural gas consumption?”

  1. From the annual growth rate of about 6%in the past two years, to the high -speed growth of more than 15%in the first half of this year, my country’s natural gas consumption has achieved gorgeous turn. Experts believe that with the improvement of environmental protection awareness, applications such as coal -to -gas and natural gas distributed use continue to deepen, and my country’s natural gas consumption is accelerating into the vast blue ocean.
    Then explosive growth of natural gas consumption
    The growth in China’s urban population will inevitably lead to the continued expansion of energy demand. In this context, as a high -efficiency, low -carbon energy source, natural gas will be the most suitable choice to solve China’s energy problems.
    The low -carbon energy, compared with fossil energy such as coal and oil, natural gas is cleaner and efficient; compared with renewable energy, natural gas is more stable as energy supply and more mature models. During the “Twelfth Five -Year Plan” period, the average annual growth rate of natural gas consumption in my country was 12.4%. The natural gas industry has achieved leapfrog development, and its annual output has jumped in the sixth place in the world. The proportion of the energy consumption structure increased from 3%to 6%. It is estimated that to the end of the “Thirteenth Five -Year Plan”, natural gas accounts for 8.3%to 10%of the first energy consumption structure.
    . In the past two years, the development of my country’s natural gas consumer market has encountered twists and turns. It was impacted by the replacement effect of low oil prices and low coal prices. In 2015, the growth rate of natural gas consumption in my country fell to ten years, an increase of 5.7%year -on -year, and 6.6%year -on -year in 2016.
    The since this year, my country’s natural gas consumption has shown explosive growth. The latest data released by the National Development and Reform Commission showed that in the first half of 2017, my country ’s natural gas consumption was 114.6 billion cubic meters, a year -on -year increase of 15.2%.
    This policies have also created conditions for the use of natural gas in the future. The website of the National Development and Reform Commission recently announced the “Opinions on Promoting the use of natural gas”, and proposed to accelerate the large -scale efficient and scientific utilization of natural gas in the fields of urban gas, industrial fuel, gas power generation, and transportation.
    The opinions are clear and gradually cultivated natural gas into one of the main energy sources of my country’s modern clean energy system. By 2020, the proportion of natural gas in the first energy consumption structure will strive to reach about 10%. The gas volume was 14.8 billion cubic meters.
    will further promote the reform of the natural gas system, focus on cracking down on institutional mechanisms that affect the healthy development of the natural gas industry, and give play to the decisive role of the market in the allocation of natural gas resources. Lay off the competitive links, encourage various types of capital to enter the field of natural gas infrastructure construction and utilization, and accelerate the marketization of natural gas price.
    This in the northern region to clean and heating, industrial and civilian “coal -to -gas”, natural gas peak -adjusting power generation, natural gas distribution, and natural gas vehicles. Attach importance to the coordination of the natural gas industry chain upstream and downstream, and build the development of the industrial chain from the development of gas field development, international trade, receiving stations, pipeline transmission and distribution, gas storage peak -regulating, and current futures transactions to the terminal. , Do a good job of supply and demand balance and peak adjustment. All links must work hard to reduce costs to ensure that end users are beneficial and enhance natural gas competitiveness.
    The effect of “coal to gas” gradually appeared
    In experts believe that this year’s natural gas consumption growth in my country is good for the steady economic situation, and on the other hand appear.
    The deputy general manager of Shanghai Petroleum and Natural Gas Trading Center, Fu Shaohua, said that the impact of economic growth on the overall natural gas supply and demand situation is the first. Since the beginning of this year, the steady economic recovery has led to the overall rise of gas demand. At the same time, the state regulation of coal power policies landed, and the demand for electricity for electricity in some areas has accelerated. In addition, the continuous improvement of social environmental protection awareness has made low -carbon clean natural gas applications more extensive.
    In order to accelerate the treatment of atmospheric pollution, in recent years, my country has vigorously promoted coal -to -gas projects in many places. “The project of Qiqi Coal is spreading in large areas across the country, and the project that has been implemented is playing a role.” Liu Yijun, a professor at the University of PetroChina, said that the coal -to -gas project takes a period of time from launching to landing to landing. Promoted by the demand for coal -to -gas, the demand for natural gas in Hebei has increased by more than 20%year -on -year.
    The demand for natural gas rises sharply, and the sales enterprise feels appropriate. The eastern region of my country has always been a demand for natural gas. PetroChina’s natural gas sales Eastern company’s market area covers Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shanghai, Zhejiang and other provinces and other cities. The market share is about 65.4%, and the annual sales of natural gas accounted for more than 1/4. In the first half of this year, PetroChina Sales Eastern Company sold a total of 19.865 billion cubic meters of natural gas, an increase of 20.4%year -on -year, and 56.3%of the annual sales target was completed.
    At present, my country’s natural gas accounts for about 7%of the first energy structure, which is far lower than the international average. According to the development goals, by 2020, the proportion of natural gas will be about 10%in the first energy consumption structure, and by 2030, it will strive to increase to about 15%.
    In recent years, my country’s energy conservation and energy efficiency technologies have continued to improve, and the efficiency of natural gas utilization has been greatly improved. Relying on traditional methods, the comprehensive utilization rate of natural gas is only 35%. The natural gas distributed hot and cold electricity supply system used by Shanghai Disneyland and the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center can increase the comprehensive utilization efficiency of natural gas to 85.9%and 88.42%, respectively.
    “The spring of natural gas consumption has arrived with the emergence of various innovative application models.” Wang Duohong said that application models such as coal -to -gas, natural gas power generation, and natural gas distributed hot and hot electricity are continuously deepened. Promote the further upgrade of my country’s natural gas consumer market. The “five provinces and one city” within the company’s market coverage proposes a natural gas development plan. In 2020, the total natural gas consumption will reach 111 billion cubic meters, an increase of 114%over 2016. It can be seen that the future market prospects are very broad.
    In the direction of natural gas price reform
    The latest reports released by the International Energy Agency predict that in the next five years, 90%of global natural gas demand will come from developing countries, of which China accounts for 40%. “At present, natural gas accounts for only about 7%of my country’s first energy consumption, and there are even less than 2%to 3%in some places. Data show that China’s natural gas market space is still very large.” express.
    In economic perspective, my country’s natural gas prices are still high. Yin Haitao, director of the Department of Economics of the Antai School of Management at Shanghai Jiaotong University, said that the long -term stable growth of natural gas consumption still requires price signals to guide. With the official launch of my country’s carbon emissions trading platform in the future, the environmental protection costs of coal and fuel will increase significantly, and the clean natural gas will be more marketable.
