2 Energy consumption is growing rapidly. But the consumption structure is unreasonable, and the environment stress is huge The total energy consumption in China is 3.62 billion tons of standard coal in 2012, and the coal accounted for 66.2%. In the first half year of 2013, the average ratio of air quality standard number of days in 74 cities is 54.8%, and the excessive number ratio is 45.2%. The situation of energy consumption in China between 1980 and 2012 40 35 (100 million tce) 水 Wind 核 风 power 电 天 Natural 然 气 gas 石 Oil 油 煤 Coal 炭 能 Energy 源 增 growth 速 经 Economic 济 增 速 growth 30 25 8% 5% 19% 20 15 10 5 6.0 68% 0 1980 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 10
3 The growth rate of gas consumption in China is the first among the world The natural gas consumption in 2012 is 147.1 bcm, and it is the fourth in the world. And it accounted for 5.5% of the total primary energy consumption in China. China's natural gas consumption is growing by an average rate of 21% since 2005. 11
4 Strong demand in China's natural gas market The official commercial operation of West to East project in 2004 is marking the China gas market turn from the start-up period into the development period. If consider the management of PM2.5, it is estimated that the demand of natural gas market will be considerable. 12

It is estimated that until 2020, CNPC will shaped a comprehensive national gas pipeline supply system with connected to the import resources, the major domestic natural gas producing fields, the LNG receiving terminals, the underground gas storages. The system will be resource-diversified, scheduling-flexible, supply-stabile and peakshaving facility-complete. 20
3 The pipeline interconnection problems need to be concerned 1st: Especially note the construction of the supporting underground gas storages, the LNG emergency peak-shaving terminals and some hub stations, in order to ensure the safe operation of the pipeline network running smoothly. 21
2nd: Recommend to formulate a standard on pipeline pressure rating, for convenience of the pipeline network planning and wholy building At present, China has not yet formed a unified standard of the pipeline pressure rating series. Suggestion: 12MPa (Trans-national pipelines, national interregional trunk, interconnection pipeline) 10MPa (National interregional trunk, interconnection line, Branch trunk line 6.3MPa(Subtransmission branch) 4.0MPa(Branch line,distribution network 22
3rd: Recommend a standardized network gas property conditions, and make the timely implementation of energy metering When the gas with different Calorific values from the different resources enter the same network, such as the import pipeline gas, import LNG, CBM, shale gas, SNG, and the domestic natural gas, the gas property standard problem is particularly critical.
