Beijing Gas Group (BGG), the dominant gas distributor in the Chinese capital, has received the first cargo of liquefied natural gas delivered to a terminal operated by PetroChina in nearby Tangshan.
The cargo, about 66,000 metric tonnes, has just been downloaded and the vessel – Corcovado LNG – was set to leave the terminal early this week.
The gas will be distributed to users in Beijing and some cities in neighbouring Hebei province, where gas demand is picking up with the arrival of winter, via an existing pipeline.
