The Sichuan East Gas Transmission Second Line Project officially starts construction in China | Natural Gas | Second Line
Guangming Daily, Beijing, September 15th - China's major energy infrastructure project during the 14th Five Year Plan period - the natural gas pipeline project of the Sichuan East Gas Transmission Line 2 of the State Grid Corporation officially started construction on September 15th. This project is a crucial step towards achieving a new pattern of "five vertical and five horizontal" natural gas pipeline network in China, and also a strategic transportation channel for billions of cubic meters of atmospheric fields and billions of cubic meters of gas storage facilities in the Sichuan Chongqing region. After the completion of the project, it will transport over 20 billion cubic meters of natural gas to the areas along the route every year, further promoting the coordinated development of the central, western, and eastern coastal regions, and promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
The second Sichuan East Gas Pipeline has a total length of 4269 kilometers, including one main line and multiple branch lines, passing through eight provinces and cities including Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, Henan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Fujian. It is connected to the first Sichuan East Gas Pipeline, the West East Gas Pipeline System, and the Jiangsu Anhui Pipeline, connecting the Southwest Gas Region, coastal liquefied natural gas resources, and the central and eastern markets. It has also built an east-west energy artery in the inland of China.
The entire Sichuan East Gas Transmission Line 2 will be approved for construction in stages according to the Sichuan Chongqing Hubei section and the Hubei Henan Jiangxi Anhui Zhejiang Fujian section. The Sichuan Chongqing Hubei section, which took the lead in construction, consists of one main line and 12 branch lines, with a total length of 1576 kilometers, passing through three provinces and cities: Sichuan, Chongqing, and Hubei.
After the completion of the project, the annual transportation capacity of the Sichuan East Gas Pipeline System will increase to 35 billion cubic meters. Compared with coal, the additional 20 billion cubic meters of natural gas transported each year are equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 29 million tons, sulfur dioxide emissions by 639000 tons, nitrogen oxides by 186400 tons, and dust emissions by more than 14 million tons. Promoting the proportion of natural gas in China's primary energy consumption structure to increase by more than 0.3 percentage points is of great significance for promoting energy structure adjustment and green transformation of development modes.
