In 2014，China began to start the market-oriented reform of natural gas. During the 13th Five Year Plan period，the Chinese government issued a number of policies to promote the development and market-oriented reform of natural gas utilization，which achieved remarkable results，and listed and established PipeChina in 2019，preparing for the success of market reform. In 2021，the Chinese government decided to promote the energy revolution，build a clean，low-carbon，safe and efficient energy system，clarify the fundamental key for the energy development direction of the “14th Five Year Plan”，and formulate an action plan for peaking carbon emissions by 2030 to further promote the utilization of natural gas. The “14th Five Year Plan” is a key period for the development of natural gas in China，and it is also a practical period for the market-oriented reform of natural gas. At the end of the “14th Five Year Plan”，the market pattern of “competition between gas and gas” will be realized. China’s natural gas pricing mechanism will also change from government pricing to market pricing，so as to realize the goal of natural gas marketization and promote the utilization and development of natural gas. However，there are still many problems to be solved in the market-oriented reform. Facing the international environment of high gas prices and complex and changeable geopolitics，it is conducive to the success of market-oriented reform，which includes overall planning for natural gas utilization and reform，promoting the listing of natural gas futures，and issuing practical policies for fair and open supervision.
