Development status and prospect of natural gas power generation in China

China's natural gas power generation is in a period of rapid development

China's natural gas supply has been stable through multiple channels

As one of the important fields of natural gas utilization, natural gas development

The electricity industry is facing a rare opportunity for development. Since 2014

Since July, the National Development and Reform Commission has issued a series of

Policies to encourage and promote the development of natural gas power generation.

In June 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Plus

Fast promote the use of natural gas opinions "proposed in the natural

Gas cultivation has become the main body of China's modern clean energy system

One energy source. At the same time, the natural gas power generation industry has changed

Reform and development are also advancing. "Thirteen-five" period, in

China's natural gas power generation grew at an average annual rate of 9.69%. Up to 2021

In June, the country installed 6 MW and above gas power generation

Capacity reached 105.88 million kilowatts. With China natural gas

The large-scale development and utilization of resources, the national "west-east gas transmission",

Offshore natural gas development and the introduction of foreign liquefied natural gas

Work is in full swing; With the supply easing period superimposed market

During the accelerated reform period, the cost of natural gas power generation will gradually increase

Down. In the context of the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the ring

The time is right for low-carbon and flexible gas and electricity.

On the one hand, natural gas power generation will continue to be the load center for coal

The elimination of electric units provides alternatives; At the same time, flexible and efficient

The natural gas distributed energy station will be an industrial park and logistics

Parks, tourism service areas, large commercial facilities, transportation hubs

New York, schools, hospitals and other regional energy supply to provide reliable support;

In addition, the future of natural gas power generation will be with wind power, photovoltaic power generation

And other renewable energy combined to achieve multi-energy complementarity,

It has become an important component of the power grid flexible peak regulation resources

The country continues to comprehensively build security, reliability, resilience and resilience

Natural gas industry chain, supply chain system, active integration

Enter the international natural gas market development. China's natural gas is recoverable

The amount of resources is 85.4×1012m3

Ranked 2nd in the world,

The average annual increase of natural gas in the 13th Five-Year Plan exceeds 10 billion cubic meters,

The annual growth rate is more than 7.4%X

According to the IEA 2021 latest

Statistics show that China's natural gas production ranks fourth in the world. Since the

Since the "13th Five-Year Plan", natural gas production, supply, storage and marketing system

Steady progress in construction, natural gas storage output and domestic natural gas

Natural gas production increased rapidly, and natural gas imports continued to increase

In addition, the "national network" is basically formed for natural gas

Lay a solid foundation for sustainable development of electricity.

In the medium and long term, the market environment of easy international and domestic supply,

With the continuous advancement of oil and gas reform, natural gas supply can be obtained

The price of natural gas will gradually become more reasonable. According to the

IHS Market forecast, Asian spot market gas prices

Close to the European market trend, it is currently under construction

Global LNG liquefaction projects will lead to significant new supply

Growth may outpace demand growth, causing prices to rise

And help spur additional gas demand,

Asian spot prices are expected to be significantly lower for many years

Governors Association price. 

It cannot be ignored that natural gas supply is highly dependent on foreign countries,

Environmental protection and low-carbon policies and electricity market reforms need to be improved

Problems also make the development of gas power is not smooth sailing.

If natural gas prices continue to rise since 2020, on

Resource supply uncertainty and downstream market volatility

Gas power is at a disadvantage in the electricity trading market. although

Gas-fired power plants emit less carbon per unit of electricity than coal-fired power plants

50%~60%, and the emission of pollutants is significantly lower than that of coal-fired power

Factory, but the current carbon trading and energy trading market line

It is not yet fully mature, and natural gas power generation is environmentally friendly and low-carbon

The environmental value has not been recognized by the market. Meanwhile, natural

Gas power generation outstanding peak regulation and frequency regulation performance is recognized, right

To build a secure and stable future with a high proportion of renewable energy

The new power system with source as the main body is also crucial

The 14th Five-Year Plan will be the strategic "window period" for the development of natural gas power generation industry
