Abstract:With the development of the low-carbon economy and the increase of emission-reduction pressure, China strengthens the utilization of the clean energy. Natural gas, which is available, acceptable and affordable, will have a wide prospect of application in China. In view of this, this paper has a comprehensive analysis of the future trends of natural gas consumption structure in China. Two main trends were presented: first, China’s natural gas consumption will continue to grow rapidly with the increase of supply, the construction of pipeline network and the increase of emission-reduction pressure. Second, the utilization structure of China’s natural gas will change from single structure to multiple structure, with the coexistence of urban gas, industrial gas and natural gas power generation. Then this paper puts forward some countermeasures as follows: first, Chinese government should guarantees the supply and promote the consumption growth of the natural gas, including: based on domestic natural gas resources, introducing foreign resources by multi-channel and multi- way, seeking natural gas pricing discourse in the Asia Pacific region by strengthening regional cooperation, constructing the long-distance pipeline networks, and accelerating the operation of natural gas pipeline networks independently. Second, Chinese government also should adjust the structure and improve efficiency, including: constructing the urban gas pipelines steadily and orderly, promoting the growth of industrial gas orderly by the project of burning gas instead of coal, strengthening the unified plan, improving the pricing mechanism and deep processing, and promoting product refinement with innovative technologies.
