China’s Natural Gas Development Report

China’s 2020 Natural Gas Development Report (NGDR), assessing the current state of the country’s gas industry and how it relates to the broader global gas market, was published late last year. If 2019’s focus was on the seemingly inexorable rise in China’s demand for gas, the 2020 reports theme has been the impact of coronavirus. Despite a significant economic hit in the first half, 2020 saw positive economic growth in China – the only major economy to do so.
