China's annual consumption of gas will reach 400 billion cubic meters by 2030, with 150 billion cubic meters coming from imports and the remainder from domestic production, Jia Chengzao, chairman of the Chinese Petroleum Society (CPS), said Saturday at the Global Think Tank Summit in Beijing.

By then, China's consumption of gas will account for up to 6 percent of its overall energy consumption, which is still lower than the world average level of 26 percent, according to Jia.

Considering that China's import of gas will see an average annual increase of 20 billion cubic meters in the coming years, Ma Xinhua, vice-president of PetroChina Exploration & Production Company, said that China's supply of gas may be greater than its demand during certain time. He suggests that China put priority on the consumption of imported gas.
