Event

During the 13th “Five-Year Plan” period (2016-2020), energy 

structure optimization and environmental pollution control will 

be a primary driver of China’s natural gas consumption. According

to the State Council’s Energy Development Strategy Action Plan

 (2014-2020), the proportion of natural gas in China’s primary 

energy consumption will be improved to 10% or above by 2020.

However, as the Chinese economy has entered a “new normal” status, 

the country’s natural gas consumption is about to face more 

uncertainties. On one hand, natural gas consumption will get less 

impetus from China’s GDP growth and many downstream sectors are 

facing the problem of overcapacity and profit drop. On the other hand, 

rising natural gas prices and the slump in international oil prices will 

suppress the growth of natural gas consumption. Falling oil prices are 

weakening the comparative advantage of natural gas against refined 

oil products.

Domestic market saw a regional and periodical oversupply of natural 

gas in 2014. The general prediction of local and international consulting 

agencies is that China’s natural gas consumption will see slower growth 

towards 2020, which is below NDRC and NEA’s expectation.

Against such a background, will China’s natural gas pricing unification 

take place as expected? What measures should be taken by related 

enterprises to minimize the adverse impact of this change? Which 

downstream sector will take benefit from it? What changes will take place 

in the layout of gas refilling stations and their operation nationwide? Will 

the marine LNG market see fast growth? In light of positive factors like 

supportive policy and gradually disappeared barriers, can we expect an 

overall improvement of LNG DER development?

To answer these questions, Enmore will hold the 10th China International 

Natural Gas Industry Annual Conference 2015. The conference will invite 

enterprises along this industrial chain to exchange views on major market 

issues such as the trend of domestic and international natural gas markets 

and the impact of China’s natural gas pricing reform on domestic supply 

and demand so as to facilitate enterprises’ future market decision.

Focus on the latest process of gas pricing unification;

Discussion of enterprises’ effective measures to deal with the new 

situation;

Seek opportunities for innovative development of new downstream 

markets;

Facilitate gas enterprises’ understanding of the facts and trend of

the market.
