In 2023, the natural gas consumption in the mining and washing of coal in China stood at 31.17 hundred million cubic meters. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted data suggests a steady increase in consumption, reaching 42.64 hundred million cubic meters by 2028. Year-on-year analysis indicates a consistent growth pattern, with the consumption rising by approximately 6.9% in 2024, 6.9% in 2025, 6.5% in 2026, 6.0% in 2027, and 5.6% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is projected to be around 6.4%.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes towards cleaner energy, developments in energy-efficient technologies, and fluctuations in global natural gas prices, which could impact consumption levels in this sector.
