This paper considers sections of NFPA Standard 59A and proposed MTB regulations under Part 193 relating to LNG storage. Specifically, differences in the 1975 and 1979 editions of NFPA Standard 59A and the regulations in the NPR issued by MTB on February 8 are considered. Only those portions of the regulations dealing with the design and construction of metal tanks and impoundment design and capacity are covered, excluding the design aspects for metal tanks related to seismicity.

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.
