The ignition of the first natural gas transmission pipeline in Shanxi achieved a breakthrough in the “zero” development of natural gas in the province

The first natural gas pipeline in Shanxi Province, the Linfen-Hejin Pipeline, was successfully ignited on September 21st, marking a significant milestone as it achieved a breakthrough of "zero" in the province's natural gas development and utilization. This project laid the foundation for a cleaner energy future in Shanxi. With major pipelines such as the Shanxi-Beijing and the West-East Gas Pipeline passing through the region, Shanxi has long had the infrastructure to support natural gas usage. In September 2002, PetroChina and Shanxi Natural Gas Co., Ltd. signed a "Letter of Intent for Natural Gas Supply," covering seven prefectures across the province. By November 2004, the Shanxi Provincial Government issued "Opinions on Strengthening Natural Gas Work in the Province," signaling a formal push toward expanding natural gas use. In March 2005, Shanxi Natural Gas Company entered into a supply agreement with Shanxi Huaze Aluminum Power Co., Ltd. and Chinalco Shanxi Branch, further solidifying the industry's growth. The Linfen-Hejin Pipeline, which became operational, spans 130 kilometers and has an annual gas supply capacity of 100 million cubic meters. According to the overall planning, Shanxi’s natural gas pipeline network will eventually stretch over 1,737 kilometers, capable of importing 2 billion cubic meters of gas annually. Of this, 1.2 billion cubic meters will be allocated for industrial use, while 800 million will serve residential consumers. The pipeline construction is planned in three phases. Once fully completed, the system is expected to replace 10 million tons of coal annually—equivalent to the output of a large coal mine—and reduce pollution by 10 million tons from coal combustion. By 2020, major cities along the provincial natural gas trunk line will form a ring-shaped pipeline network, featuring interconnected gas sources that can meet both urban and industrial demand efficiently. This development marks a crucial step toward a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy strategy in Shanxi.
