Use of liquefied natural gas

Development bottleneck

1. Natural gas source

The biggest challenge for China in developing LNG is the source of gas. To alleviate the problem of gas supply in the eastern region, China has adopted the "West-east gas transmission" project. However, this project only solved the problem of insufficient supply of natural gas at that time. With the continuous improvement of China's national production level, the demand for natural gas in the market is increasing day by day, and the supply of natural gas has already become a problem. What we have to do at present is to find natural gas sources and increase the exploitation of natural gas, which is a more fundamental way to solve the shortage of natural gas supply. In the development of natural gas energy links to master more international resources of origin is also extremely important, China's natural gas source is not enough, and also gradually "west" development, we must do how to ensure that in the process of "west" development to occupy a favorable position. Only on the basis of sufficient gas supply can we talk about the healthy and sustainable development of LNG.

2. LNG prices

At present, the natural gas resources are monopolized by other countries in the world, and the price of liquefied natural gas continues to increase, which has a negative impact on China's vigorous development of natural gas. We all know that there is a direct link between the price of crude oil and the price of liquefied natural gas, and the rising price of liquefied natural gas is caused by the rising price of crude oil. In addition, the construction price of LNG projects has also been rising in recent years, which has also pushed up the overall price of natural gas. For example, the price of imported LNG in China has reached $15 /MMBTU in 2013. The continuous rise in the price of liquefied natural gas is also responsible for the slow development of natural gas in China.

3. LNG related technologies and equipment

As far as China's current form is concerned, there is no industrial application experience, no large-scale natural gas liquefaction technology, and no large-scale natural gas liquefaction plant, and this series of problems have caused the slow development of LNG in China. We should focus on the technological innovation of natural gas liquefaction, and apply science and technology to manufacture some liquefied natural gas equipment with independent intellectual property rights. China currently has a long way to go in terms of both technology and equipment for LNG.

4. Supply and demand of liquefied natural gas

China's demand for natural gas is increasing, but the current supply is simply not enough to support this populous country. In addition, the construction of natural gas liquefaction projects in Xinjiang, Hainan and other places also makes the supply problem become serious. In terms of use, natural gas has enough superiority and flexibility, but China does not have enough natural gas sources to exploit natural gas, but there are nearly 300 provinces and cities in China using natural gas. And so much demand is also what makes the price of natural gas in the world very high. This is not good for China's natural gas development.

1. Search for natural gas sources

With the continuous improvement of Chinese people's living standards, China's demand for natural gas has become more and more urgent, but China has not yet defined the source of natural gas exploitation. At present, the main countries in the international development of gas fields are: Australia, Iran, Canada and so on. The fastest growing source of natural gas in recent years has been Australia, which is expected to export more liquefied natural gas in 2008 than any other country in the world. According to the survey, the emerging energy source is Africa. Canada is also not weak in the field of extraction, and it also has the construction of natural gas liquefaction plants in the LNG project.

2. Improve natural gas liquefaction technology and equipment

Equipment and technology with China's independent intellectual property rights are the main support for the development of LNG. With the equipment and technology with Chinese intellectual property rights can not only meet the development of our country's LNG industry, but also break the form of international monopoly. China's current technology for liquefied natural gas is too shallow, insufficient to support the demand of the entire Chinese market, China is a populous country, due to the slump in the oil market, natural gas has gradually become the main energy in the market, but the current national technology can not be realized. Therefore, we must first overcome the key technologies of the whole LNG industry chain, so that it can form a series of LNG technologies with intellectual property rights and complete equipment. Moreover, China is currently making great progress in the key equipment of cryogenic technology.

3. Improve the right to speak in LNG pricing

① China should speed up the development of coal bed gas, shale gas, pipeline gas, etc., to reduce the impact of rising international LNG prices on the Chinese market.
