Demand, supply and consumption of natural gas in China
Increased natural gas demand due to economic development, energy and environmental impact
In China, the available energy resource is rich in coal and lack in oil and gas. Because of this special fuel pattern, the increasing energy demand needed to sustain the rapid economic development in the past 30 years relies heavily on the coal supply. This makes coal contributing for over 70% of the primary energy consumed and leads to SO2 and NOx emission exceeding 70% of the environmental carrying capacity which causes ecological degradation.
