Beijing Gas Group (BGG) provides natural gas to Beijing city, which, of the world’s mega-cities, is second only to Moscow in terms of natural gas consumption. BGG was the first company in China to supply over 10 billion cubic metres (BCM) of gas per year to a single city and its highest supply volume per day tops 100 million cubic metres. BGG supplies over six million households through 21,000 km of pipelines, using a mix of imported and domestic gas, offshore and onshore gas, conventional and unconventional gas.

Natural gas accounts for 32% of Beijing’s primary energy consumption (97% of its heat and 30% of power generation), making a real contribution to cleaner air. These numbers are set to rise. By 2020, the consumption of natural gas in Beijing is expected to exceed 20 BCM, the number of household users will reach 6.2 million and there will be an estimated 40,000 natural gas vehicles on the roads. Indeed, by 2020, natural gas will become the dominant energy and make up 36% of the primary energy mix in Beijing. BGG’s appetite for gas, from a multitude of sources including LNG, looks set to continue.

Founded in 1862 to sell gas for street lamps, today the Hong Kong & China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) provides energy to millions of households across the territory with interests in production, transmission, distribution, sales of gas and gas cooking appliances as well as a complete range of after-sale services. Its interests span 26 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across China and the company employs close to 50,000 people.

The company was quick to spot the potential of LNG and participated in the Guangdong LNG receiving station project back in the 1990s. In 2018 Towngas invested in the development of the LNG receiving station and supporting piers at Huanghua Port, Cangzhou City, which is expected to be the main channel for importing LNG in Hebei Province on completion. As well as LNG imports, Towngas is also developing downstream markets for this cleaner-burning gas, having built 125 gas stations to supply LNG to heavy lorries and urban sanitation fleets as well as investing in LNG bunkering, with two LNG bunker vessels, Harbour Star 01 and Harbour Star 02 in Jiangsu.

It is a major gas supplier in the region, with its gas coming from onshore and offshore fields as well as imported LNG. It is extending its regional pipeline network, which by 2020 should stretch for 2,500 km.

Last year the company joined forces with Sinopec and Wenzhou Daxiaomen Island Company to construct and operate an LNG receiving terminal, with annual capacity of 3 MTPA with potential to expand to 10 MTPA. It is expected to start operations in 2021-2022. The group is also aiming to build a world-class LNG storage and transmission center with a capacity of 32 MTPA in Zhejiang Province, which will connect to other provinces and major cities in Yangtze River Delta to become a major supplier to the national natural gas market.
