摘要
In 2022,China’s natural gas industry had weak supply and demand,and for the first time in 40 years,the natural gas consumption experienced negative growth,with an apparent consumption of 366.3 billion m^(3),a year-on-year decrease of 1.7%.The production and reserves of domestic gas continued to increase,with a production of 216.9 billion m^(3),and an increase of over 10 billion m^(3) of production for six consecutive years.Imported natural gas had a significant decline for the first time,with imported pipeline gas and LNG totalling 148.5 billion m3 in 2022,a year-on-year decrease of 10.9%.In 2023,China’s macroeconomics will continue to recover,and the low-carbonization development of clean energy under the dual-carbon strategy will promote rapid growth in the natural gas market.The demand increment and growth rate will be significantly higher than that in 2022,with an expected growth rate of 5.5%-6.8%.
