Latest Accurate Positive News in the Gas Industry

According to authoritative sources in March 2026, the “Ecological and Environmental Code of the People’s Republic of China” has been passed and will be implemented in August. It designates gas as a legally mandated alternative energy in restricted zones, actively promoting “coal-to-gas” renovations. This legal framework establishes the core position of clean energy gas, opening up incremental markets in industrial and commercial sectors.

According to data from the National Oil and Natural Gas Pipeline Network Group in March 2026, domestic apparent natural gas consumption is expected to reach 450-455 billion cubic meters in 2026, a year-on-year increase of 4.2%-5.3%. Domestic production will reach 273.8 billion cubic meters, marking nine consecutive years of billion-level increases, with both supply and demand showing a positive trend.

According to the latest forecast by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in 2026, global natural gas demand will increase by 12%, with Asia-Pacific experiencing an 18% growth, driven mainly by China. Meanwhile, global LNG liquefaction capacity is entering a peak phase of commissioning, with over ten years’ worth of new capacity added in the next five years, continuously strengthening supply support.
