Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in China

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in China

The report ``Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in China” provides research and objective analysis on Chinese as well as global LNG Industry. This report helps clients to analyze the opportunities, factors critical to the success for LNG market.

China LNG Industry

This section covers the current as well as future percepts of demand & supply, LNG infrastructure & pricing for China LNG market. China LNG industry is still in its initial stage. China’s first LNG terminal (Guangdong) started in the mid of 2006. Other terminals, however, are either in construction or planning phase.

Key Findings

§ Chinese LNG industrywill face stiff competition from coal in China for future growth due to higher prices as compared to low coal pricing.
§ China is expected to play major LNG importing destination for middle east & Australia in Asia Pacific region.
§ Government support, environmental policies, energy security & declining liquefaction costs are major market forces driving the growth in Chinese LNG industry.
§ Despite China having ambitious plans for developing LNG industry, it requires massive financing from domestic as well as international level. Lack of adequate funding is a major barrier impeding the growth of LNG industry in China, besides high LNG pricing.
