Chinese gas imports up 12% in January-August
China's natural gas imports, via pipeline and as LNG, reached 87.12mn tonnes during the January-August period, up 12.3% year/year, according to data released by the customs department on September 10.
In August alone, the imports were 11.76mn tonnes. The surge in natural gas imports is attributed to softer global LNG prices, making imports more attractive.
