中国天然气利用发展趋势和政策趋向

Development Trends in China's Natural Gas Utilization

近年来,随着陕京线、涩守兰、沧淄线等天然气管线的相继建成投产,以及西气东输、忠武线、长庆天然气东输二线等管线计划的相继实施,中国天然气的综合利用出现了前所未有的繁荣景象,呈现了一些新特点。化工用气所占比例逐年下降,而天然气发电和城市燃气用气正呈现增长态势,天然气消费结构发生了明显变化。今后中国天然气利用的发展趋势是:天然气需求量将大幅上升;天然气消费结构将继续发生调整,天然气发电和城市燃气将快速发展;为弥补供应缺口,将更多地利用国际天然气资源。随着中国天然气利用的发展,中国政府在天然气的投资政策、价格政策和利用政策方面也将做出适当调整。

Anumber of natural gas pipelines have been put into operation in China in recent years, such as the Shaanxi-Beijing pipeline, Sebei-Xining-Lanzhou pipeline and the Cangzhou-Zibo pipeline. In addition, the West-East gas pipeline, Zhongxian-Wuhan pipeline and the second Shaanxi-Beijing gas pipeline are now under construction. Natural gas consumption is becoming more widespread than ever before in China. While gas consumption in the chemical sector is decreasing, consumption in the power generation and urban utilization sectors is enjoying a growing momentum. Great changes have are taking place in natural gas consumption patterns. The demand for natural gas will grow significantly in China in the future, with consumption patterns undergoing continual adjustment. Gas consumption in the power generating urban residential sectors will rise rapidly in the country. To relieve anticipated shortages, it will be necessary to make use of international natural gas resources as much as possible. With the development of the natural gas industry, the Chinese government will appropriately adjust its natural gas investment, pricing and utilization policies.
