Abstract
China’s energy needs are growing with incredible speed, and the Chinese
government knows it. By 2030 natural gas will surpass oil to become the
world' s number one energy resource, especially in the power generation
industry. According to government forecasts, China will need to invest over
220 billion RMB in natural gas infrastructure, pipelines, and liquefied
natural gas (LNG) facilities between 2002 and 2020. Opportunities will be
created in the reconstruction and expansion of old power plants as well as in
refitting existing power generation equipment. In coal bed gas exploration,
foreign investment and advanced technologies will be key. Natural gas in China
offers attractive prospects for investment. In the near future, it will become
one of the most vibrant areas of cooperation between China and foreign
countries.
The demand for natural gas, as a clean and efficient fuel, is expected to
reach 200 billion cubic meters by 2020. With demand growth outpacing supply,
China will have a supply gap of about 80 billion cubic meters by 2020. The
Chinese government is currently drafting plans for the mid to long-term
development of the natural gas industry. Objectives include the further
acceleration of exploration, development and use, optimization of energy
supply structures and enhancing national energy security.
One important issue for foreign companies interested in China’s natural
gas infrastructure is the level of openness to foreign businesses. The Chinese
government encourages foreign companies to participate in the construction and
operation of natural gas exploration, shipping, storage, power generation,
urban use and related industries. A number of laws and regulations have been
modified to relax restrictions on foreign investment. In fact, in recent years
almost all major international petroleum and petrochemical companies have
invested in development in China.
