Challenges for the gas sector in China

Summary/Abstract: China’s use of coal will substantially decline during the near future due to environmental concerns. China is working to diversify its energy structure and improve energy efficiency by developing alternative clean energy sources. It is also increasing the importance of natural gas in energy mix. The share of natural gas in energy mix is still low, but it could double in the next two decades. China’s natural gas sector will develop very quickly in the near future. But unconventional gas industries are still in early stages of development. Domestic companies need time to gain access to new technologies and know-how. Simultaneously China has to develop its gas infrastructure to enable greater use of imported natural gas.
