Between 2024 and 2028, China's total support for natural gas in fossil fuel production as a percentage of GDP is projected to decline from 0.008% to 0.006%. This represents a consistent year-on-year decrease of approximately 12.5% in 2025, no change in 2026, and a further 14.3% decrease in 2027, with a steady state into 2028.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential policy shifts could further impact natural gas support levels.
The transition to renewable energy sources might accelerate the reduction in natural gas dependency.
Changes in global energy markets or local demand may alter forecasted support levels.
