The status quo of the world and China's natural gas
1, the natural gas industry as a sunrise industry has a huge space for developmentWith the rapid development of the world economy, the rapid increase in population, energy consumption continues to grow, greenhouse gases and a variety of harmful substances emissions surge, the human living environment has been greatly challenged. In this situation, clean, high calorific value of natural gas energy is getting more and more attention, the development of natural gas industry has become the world's best choice to improve the environment and promote sustainable economic development. The greenhouse gas produced by the combustion of natural gas is only 1 / 2 of the coal, and the oil is about 2 / 3. The gas calorific value is 3000 Duodaka, while the calorific value of natural gas up to 8500 calories, the natural gas is a kind of efficient and clean energy.
3, the world's natural gas demand will increase by 2.4%International Energy Agency statistics show that global demand for natural gas is growing at an annual rate of 2.4%, and this growth rate is expected to remain in 2030.Despite last year's demand for liquefied natural gas has declined, but the future of energy, said the natural gas is still the fastest growing part of the energy sector. Demand for natural gas in the Gulf is growing at an annual rate of 14%, mainly for power generation and desalination.Proven natural gas reserves of the Gulf region is about 290 trillion cubic meters of natural gas reserves, including Qatar ranks first, accounting for the total area of natural gas reserves of 49%, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates followed in second and third.
2, the world's natural gas industry will enter the golden period of developmentIn the next century, the world's natural gas industry will enter a "golden age"". According to the International Energy Agency forecast in Paris, from now until 2020, global primary energy demand will increase by 65%, of which the needs of the developing countries than the current double - fan. In this perspective, the world's natural gas demand will increase by 2.6% per year, when the proportion of primary energy consumption will rise from the current 20% to 30%.The development of the natural gas industry has benefited from many advantages. International Federation of natural gas industry figures show that the world has proven natural gas reserves of 152 trillion cubic meters, according to the current level of consumption can be exploited for 65 years, only proven oil for exploitation for a period of up to 43 years. If viewed from a long-term perspective, the world's largest reserves of natural gas, that is, the current technical conditions can be mined, an estimated 400 trillion cubic meters.Another advantage of natural gas is the high utilization ratio of heat energy. In a few years ago, the thermal efficiency of gas-fired power plant is less than 40%, with the progress of related technologies, today has reached more than 60%. At the same time, some of the power supply and heating gas station, the utilization rate of natural gas and even 90%. Therefore, natural gas can be said to be a considerable economic energy.
Preliminary estimates, the world's recoverable reserves of natural gas is about 137 tons of oil equivalent, and basic oil equivalent. With the development of exploration, development and storage and transportation technology, proven reserves grew by an average of 4.9% annually over the past 20 years, with an average annual growth of about 3.15%. Experts predict that the next 10 years, the world average annual growth rate of natural gas consumption will keep 3.9% growth rate than oil, coal and other any kind of energy, especially in developing Asia's growth rate will be faster.The world's natural gas reserve production ratio is very high (70 to 1), and the oil and coal consumption in the field of more than 70% can be replaced by natural gas. In the global scope, natural gas to replace oil to speed up the pace, especially in Northeast Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and South America, with its natural gas pipeline network construction, in the early twenty-first Century will have a faster development.Natural gas will be the fastest growing energy consumption in twenty-first Century, accounting for the proportion of disposable energy consumption will be growing. It is expected that in 2010, the share of natural gas in the global energy structure will be more than coal, around 2020, will be more than oil, becoming the first in the composition of energy.
