Abstract: |
Since 2003, the concept of "low carbon economy" were introduced by the UK, the concept has been generally recognized around the world. The EU, Japan, the United States and other countries has taked action to accelerate the development of low-carbon economy, competition for low-carbon economy utterance Right. China is facing tremendous pressure of greenhouse gas emission reduction, energy security and ecological security is threatened, have to develop a low carbon economy. Natural gas as a clean, high-quality energy, optimizing energy consumption structure, improving the atmospheric environment, control of greenhouse gas emissions play an important role. Therefore, continued efforts to increase domestic natural gas exploration and development, and actively introduce foreign resources, supporting construction of natural gas, gas transmission and distribution system, gradually optimizing natural gas consumption structure, steadily promote the reform of institutional mechanisms to achieve sustainable development for the natural gas industry is of strategic significance.
