Naturalgas, be it in liquefied, or condensed form or be it trapped in conventional orunconventional reservoirs, is leading China’s energy revolution, which willsignificantly transform the country’s energy production, trade, transmission,logistics and utilization landscape. Natural gas is the linchpin on thegovernment planning board to reform the country’s industry structure. In thecountry’s energy development roadmap till 2020, the State Council, China’s highest governing body, has called forraising the gas consumption so that it will account for more than 10% in thetotal energy consumption mix. The government pegs the gas demand in 2020 at 360billion cubic metres, including 185 Bcm from domestic production, 60 Bcm fromshale gas and coal-bed methane operations and remainder 120 Bcm to come fromimports.

Thegas development with such a huge magnitude has unleashed unparalleled businessopportunities not seen anywhere in the world. However, the gas development inboth upstream and downstream segments have also caused many complexities andconfusions derived from lack of an optimal gas policy framework, government-administeredgas price regime, insufficient gas infrastructures and inadequate purchasingpower.

Topco, China’s leading energy event producer, islaunching The 2nd China International NG/CNG/LNG Distribution & TradeConference (GDT 2015) in March 2015 in Beijing.The event is structured with two con-current events, the 3rd China Small-MidScale LNG World Forum (SMLNG 2015) and Asia LNG Fuel Forum (LNGF 2015). Theevent covers the whole gas business chain from well head, processing,transmission, distribution, to utilities and town-gas utilization. As the firstand leading one of its kinds in China,GDT 2015 will attract over 300 delegates.

TheEvent Focusing on

China Gas Policy– What to be Expected?

China Gas Demand and Consumption – When it willpeak?

Coal-to-gas – long way to go  

LNG imports – A market to open to more traders

Gas for power – Economics doesn’t work withoutsubsidies

Shale gas – Cost and environment are keys

The 3^rd China Small-MidScale LNG Projects Map will be issued during the conference. Please click here for details.
