The future energy needs of China, India, and the rest of Asia are considerable. Will gas supplies respond to this expanding demand? Large-scale projects will have to be implemented in Russia, the Central Asian Republics, and the Middle East to bring required supplies to Asian markets in the years to 2020. This book assesses the economic opportunities, political obstacles, and other challenges to these projects.

According to the International Energy Association, global energy demand will increase by 43 percent by 2035 and much of this rising demand will be due to the growing Asian economies. China alone is expected to consume two times the amount of energy as the United States and will account for around 25 percent of the total world energy demand. In Japan, the Fukushima disaster resulted in a near total shutdown of its nuclear reactors and as a result, it is now paying some of the highest prices in the world for LNG—almost $15 per unit last month—to make up for its energy shortfall. Due to these rising costs, Japan and India, in particular, are reviewing potential suppliers of LNG in an effort to obtain gas that is less expensive than that provided by current suppliers such as Malaysian, Indonesian, Australian and Qatari gas, which is linked to the price of oil—U.S. gas is not. If the U.S. chooses to become a net exporter of LNG and it can manage to reach agreements with major consumers, it will not only strengthen our strategic alliances but it will also aid in the recovery of the U.S. economy.

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book examines how China can increase the share of natural gas in its energy system. China’s energy strategy has global ramifications and impact, and central to this strategy is the country’s transition from coal to gas. The book presents the culmination of a two-year collaboration between the Development Research Center of the State Council (DRC) and Shell. With the Chinese government’s strategic aim to increase the share of gas in the energy mix from 5.8% in 2014 to 10% and 15% in 2020 and 2030 respectively, the book outlines how China can achieve its gas targets. Providing both quantifiable metrics and policy measures for the transition, it is a much needed addition to the literature on Chinese energy policy. The research and the resulting recommendations of this study have fed directly into the Chinese government’s 13th Five-Year Plan, and provide unique insights into the Chinese government and policy-making. Due to its global impact, the book is a valuable resource for policy makers in both China and the rest of the world.
