LNG 2019: How China’s LNG market will evolve as more infrastructure is built
Report summary
Wood Mackenzie's China Gas & LNG Senior Manager, Miaoru Huang delivered this paper at LNG 2019, Shanghai on April 4th. The paper session was entitled 'LNG Infrastructure Projects: Cases and Trends'. Utilising research from our China Gas and Power Service, the paper outlines the infrastructure challenges to China's long-term gas demand growth and how regas, storage and import pipelines are progressing . It also explores the implications on LNG markets in China and globally.
Table of contents
- Introduction
- Background
-
Regas capacity expansion will position China for further LNG demand growth post-2020
- Gas storage build will (slightly) moderate LNG demand seasonality
- LNG trucking and new modes of logistics will enable LNG to reach further inland
- Expansion of pipeline import corridors will introduce volume competition to LNG
- As infrastructure develops, LNG’s price competitiveness will become even more important
- Infrastructure will enable a more resilient and efficient gas market, leading to changes in gas pricing with potential global implications
