Changes in the main content of the Measures to Regulate the Utilization of Natural Gas and related reflections
On May 29,2024,the National Development and Reform Commission(NDRC)issued the Measures to Regulate the Utilization of Natural Gas,optimizing and adjusting China's natural gas industry policies after a 12-year gap.Combined with the objective reality and development needs of the country,it emphasizes on upgrading and improving utilization policies in such various aspects as livelihood protection,natural gas power generation cultivation,optimization of vehicles and storage facilities,optimization of hydrogen production from natural gas,and utilization of LNG cold energy and is a programmatic document guiding the high-quality development of China's natural gas industry.In the future,all relevant subjects in the industry chain should focus closely on the development direction encouraged by the Measures in a coordinated manner,carry out its own responsibilities,cooperate with each other,and form synergies.Combined with the national conditions,the priority of natural gas power generation in the local grid scheduling can be moderately enhanced,giving the natural gas power generation industry a stable and predictable living space,at the same time,reference can be made to European and American models to study and introduce the relevant market-oriented balancing service mechanism for natural gas power generation,so that the market can play a decisive role in the allocation of resources.
