Summary
Chapter Five delves into fuel switching in the context of market and law reform in China’s gas sector. With the objective of increasing natural gas supply and consumption, the reform of the gas sector in China has taken a significant step forward since December 2019, with the establishment of an independent pipeline operator (i.e. PipeChina) and the promulgation of essential regulations on tariffs and third-party access. This chapter discusses the overall regulatory governance of China’s gas sector, assessing the extent to which market reform and newly promulgated regulations can drive the desired outcomes of increasing natural gas supply and consumption to accelerate fuel switching.
