In 2024, Beijing Gas
Group witnessed a notable expansion in its natural gas sales volume, which
reached 23.8 BCM, marking a 2.1% year-on-year increase. The group’s LNG
operations emerged as a key driver of this growth.
Its Tianjin Nangang
LNG Terminal phases II and III became operational during the year,
significantly boosting business growth. In the domestic market, LNG
distribution reached 3.3 BCM, up 30% from the previous year. In terms of
international trade, the volume surged by 50% to 2.4 BCM. Throughout the year,
it completed 27 international trade deals and strengthened its partnerships
with global suppliers.
However, Beijing Gas
Group’s pipeline natural gas sales volume in Beijing decreased by 4.4% year on
year to 17.3 BCM in 2024. This decline was mainly attributed to a warmer
winter, which reduced heating demands. Despite an increase in industrial,
commercial, and institutional users, along with the addition of 158,000
household users and 3,594 public service users, the gap in natural gas demand
was not fully filled.
Beijing Gas Group
further solidified energy security in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in 2024.
The Tianjin Nangang LNG Terminal now has a gas storage capacity of 1 BCM, which
is sufficient to meet peak-shaving needs. Meanwhile, the company continued to
enhance its pipeline network coverage. It now operates a total of 29,100
kilometers of natural gas pipelines, servicing 7.46 million users, with its
market penetration rate on the rise.
In 2024, Beijing Gas
Group achieved robust growth in its core business while actively expanding its
presence both upstream and downstream in the industrial chain. It also focused
on enhancing regional energy security. Despite some challenges, the company
demonstrated strong market competitiveness and risk resilience, thanks to its
extensive experience in the natural gas sector and its well-defined strategic
layout.
