“Report” pointed out that the future growth of natural gas demand mainly from the town gas, natural gas power generation, industrial fuel and transport four major areas.
Among them, in the town gas, mainly includes three aspects: to enhance the level of urban residents gasification, gasification rate reached 50% to 55%, in 2030 reached 65% to 70%; the development of city centralized heating, gas air conditioning, distributed heating, heating and use of natural gas in the south area with centralized and decentralized heating combination; promote Beijing Tianjin and surrounding areas, the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, northeast and other key areas of natural gas instead of coal-fired boilers and city, towns and villages of fuel using gas instead of coal.

The natural gas power generation, through the development of distributed energy natural gas peak power plants, natural gas cogeneration and natural gas, natural gas power generation installed in 2020 accounted for more than China power installed capacity of 5%, increased to 10% in 2030.
In the fuel industry, iron and steel, metallurgy, building materials, optimization of petrochemical energy consuming industries fuel composition, improving the fuel structure of different boilers and kilns in the city, by 2020 natural gas accounted for the proportion of industrial fuel consumption reached 15%, reaching 25% in 2030.

In the area of transport, 2015 China natural gas about 5 million cars, with a capacity of more than 20 billion cubic meters, is expected in 2020 to achieve the gasification of 10 million vehicles, 60 thousand vehicles in 2030 to achieve ship gasification; gasification gasification of 14 million vehicles, 80 thousand ships.
“Report” suggested that the future of China’s natural gas supply will be the main body of diversity, both at home and abroad to pay equal attention to the resource security system. Expected in 2020 China’s natural gas supply capacity reached 360 billion cubic meters in 2030 to reach 600 billion cubic meters.
Li Wei estimated that by 2030, natural gas is expected to become the third main energy after coal, oil.
