CHINA'S natural gas consumption rose to the highest in five months as the world's biggest energy user doubled imports to meet demand for the less-polluting fuel.
Apparent demand, or domestic production plus net imports and minus inventory changes, climbed 25 percent in July from a year earlier to 10.3 billion cubic meters, the highest since February, the National Development and Reform Commission said in a statement on its website yesterday. Consumption in the first seven months gained 22 percent to 73.4 billion cubic meters.
China is seeking to boost the use of gas to cut carbon emissions and rely less on coal. Gas imports doubled from a year ago in July to 2.7 billion cubic meters, NDRC said.
