China  Daily (15 October 2013) reports that additional gas imports are needed in advance of winter when parts of China experience energy shortages. The NDRC has also urged China\u2019s leading domestic oil and gas companies including the China National Offshore Oil Corp (<strong>CNOCC<\/strong>) and the China National Petroleum Corp  (<strong>CNPC<\/strong>)  to  accelerate  the  pace  of  construction  of  their  natural  gas  infrastructure  projects,  including  pipelines  and  liquefied natural gas receiving terminals, to boost supply. The NDRC expects China to face an even more severe natural gas shortage in the coming winter and next spring compared with previous years. According to China Daily the NDRC is asking some  companies  in  the  sector  to  accelerate  their  coal  gas  projects  in  Inner  Mongolia  and  Xinjiang  Uygur  autonomous  regions, and their shale gas projects in Chongqing, in a bid to increase unconventional natural gas supply. China\u2019s imports of natural gas are expected to account for about 30.5% of its total consumption this year, a year-on-year rise of 4.36%. <\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"cnl-text\">\r\n<h2>Chinese gold output rises<\/h2>\r\n<p>The  China  Gold  Association  (<strong>CGA<\/strong>)  has  announced  that  Chinese  gold  output  rose  8.2%  to  270.167  tonnes  in  the  twelve  months  to  31  August  2013.  However  according  to  the  CGA  production  for  the  month  of  August  was  37.978  tonnes  down from 39.367 tonnes in July. China is the world\u2019s largest gold  producer  and  is  soon  expected  to  overtake  India  as  the  world\u2019s top consumer. In 2012 Chinese gold consumption was approximately  832  tonnes.  Consumption  has  increased  by  54% in the first 6 months of 2013.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"cnl-text last-row\">\r\n<h2>Coal to overtake oil as main source of energy by 2020<\/h2>\r\n<p>Speaking at the World Energy Congress, Wood Mackenzie\u2019s President  of  Global  Markets,  Mr  William  Durbin  said  that global  government  policies  to  reduce  carbon  emissions  will  not  prevent  a  hydrocarbon  world  as  coal  will  surpass  oil  as  the  dominant  fuel  later  this  decade.  Demand  for  coal  will be  primarily  driven  by  China  and  India\u2019s  spiralling  energy requirements.    The  US,  Europe  and  Asia  will  also  continue  to contribute to coal demand.  Mr Durbin stated that \u201cChina\u2019s economic growth will continue to be driven by urbanisation and industrialisation as the government seeks to improve housing as  well  as  create  economic  opportunities.  At  the  same  time,  the pursuit of increased national wealth is needed to support a shift to growth based on consumption. Coal will be used to fuel the growth because, unlike alternatives, it is plentiful and affordable. Consequently, China\u2019s demand for coal will almost single-handedly  propel  the  growth  of  coal  as  the  dominant  global fuel.\u201d<br>\r\n<br>According to Wood McKenzie global demand for oil in the year 2000 was 3,500 million tonnes of oil equivalent (<strong>Mtoe<\/strong>) compared to  coal  at  2,300Mtoe.  By  2010,  coal  demand  grew  to  almost  3,600Mtoe, just behind oil demand of 4,000Mtoe. By 2020 it is expected  that  global  coal  consumption  will  reach  4,500Mtoe,  overtaking  oil  which  is  expected  to  reach  4,400Mtoe.  This  is  a  25%  growth  in  coal  consumption  from  2010  to  2020  with  two-thirds of this growth being driven by Chinese coal-fired power generation. China\u2019s power requirements will increase from  5,000  Terawatts  per  hour  (<strong>TWh<\/strong>)  in  2012  to  8,600TWh  in 2020. Coal fired power generation accounts for 46% of that growth. Mr Durbin explained the rationale underlying China\u2019s preference towards coal. \u201cFirstly, there is limited availability of natural gas supplies due to the rapid pace of domestic demand growth  and  little  progress  in  developing  unconventional  gas.  Secondly,  LNG  and  pipeline  imports  are  two  to  three  times  more  costly  than  domestic  and  imported  coal.  And  thirdly,  renewables cannot provide base load power. This leaves coal as the primary energy source.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Button Navs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;navs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243;]<div class=\"cnl-bott-navs\">\r\n<div><span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/charltonsnaturalresources.com\/en\/international-energy-agency-publishes-southeast-asia-energy-outlook-report\/\" target=\"_self\">International Energy Agency publishes Southeast Asia Energy Outlook report<\/a><\/div>\r\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/charltonsnaturalresources.com\/en\/natural-resources\/\" target=\"_self\">Charltons Natural Resources Newsletter<\/a><span><\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Legal Advice&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Legal Advice&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243;]<div class=\"cnl-legal-advice\">\r\n<h3>This newsletter is for information purposes only.<\/h3>\r\n<p>Its contents do not constitute legal advice and it should not be regarded as a substitute for detailed advice in individual cases.\r\nTransmission of this information is not intended to create and receipt does not constitute a lawyer-client relationship between Charltons and the user or browser.\r\nCharltons is not responsible for any third party content which can be accessed through the website.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you do not wish to receive this newsletter please let us know by emailing us at <a href=\"mailto:unsubscribe@charltonslaw.com\">unsubscribe@charltonslaw.com<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Footer&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Footer&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.3&#8243;]<div class=\"cnl-footer\">\r\n        <div class=\"cnl-footer-award\">\r\n                <div>\r\n                       <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/legal\/newsletters\/cnl_logo_footer.png\">\r\n                        <h2>Best Boutique Firm 2013<\/h2>\r\n                        <span>Asian Legal Business Awards<\/span>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>        \r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"cnl-foot-address\">\r\n        <div>Hong Kong Office: Dominion Centre, 12th Floor, 43-59 Queen\u2019s Road East, Hong Kong Tel: + (852) 2905 7888 Fax: + (852) 2854 9596<\/div>\r\n        <div>Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charltonslaw.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.charltonslaw.com<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise (MOGE) has announced the winners of the Myanmar onshore oil and gas tenders.
