Near 2012, continues to make news about LNG (liquefied natural gas) bus to enter you line of sight, Beijing, hangzhou, shenzhen, urumqi, kunming, zhanjiang, zhangjiakou cities began to LNG buses, LNG nationwide roll-out, marked the our country city bus is entering the era of LNG.

LGN bus rolled out across the country
On December 6, 2012, the Beijing municipal people's government and China national petroleum corporation signed clean energy bus strategic cooperation agreement, specifies the Beijing bus group, such as municipal units to speed up the application of LNG clean energy bus work. It is understood that the oil in the first half of 2012 has been sent to the donated 100 LNG buses in Beijing, and also the corresponding prize of LNG filling station. In the next 2 to 3 years, Beijing also plans new purchases about 4000 LNG car. Phase on December 30, Beijing put into operation from mentougou longquan town 1 00 a BRT BRT4 line, are all made of LNG as a fuel. On December 5, 2012, hangzhou city, zhejiang province new south 35 LNG buses officially the bus company on the road.Bus companies by the end of December, hangzhou, 85 LNG buses will also be on-line was put into operation in July and the first drop of 40 LNG buses, in 2012, the city bus company will update a total of 160 clean energy buses, accounted for about 10% of the total. In shenzhen area in 2011, the existing 300 LNG buses on the road, 20 1 2 years plan in 700 and again by the end of 2012, the hybrid bus or 4000 vehicles, LNG buses will also increase year by year, new energy and clean energy vehicles will be accounted for more than two-thirds of all buses. And since January 1, 2013, guangdong policies, encourage district, city of extensive use of LNG buses, phasing out LPG buses.
Moreover, urumqi, kunming, zhanjiang, zhangjiakou and so on one, two, three line cities in China are promoting LNG bus clean energy, combined with the new "gas utilization policy will be divided into natural gas for fuel transport vehicles of the first class is good for the development of fuel, LNG buses have mushroomed in China, is fully into the LNG era.
 

Compared with CNG etc. Advantages are more obvious
It is understood that in accordance with the natural gas vehicle fuel status is different, can be divided into liquefied natural gas (LNG) cars and compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles. Relative to the CNG, LNG energy density is higher, more carry a single cylinder natural gas, effective power is bigger, so LNG vehicles has gradually become a dazzling star in the natural gas vehicle market.

Environmental protection and economy are the two big advantages of LNG. First of all, the use of LNG vehicle fuel, exhaust gas of nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide content is reduced by 98% and 30% than using diesel fuel. Therefore, countries in 2007 and later introduced many policies to foster the development of natural gas vehicle, powered LNG automobile industry policy to foster growth. Second, although for LNG cars, their higher price and one-time conversion costs may become a factor in its market scale, but the vehicle gas prices relative to gasoline and diesel price advantage particularly evident, is gasoline and diesel prices by 48% and 56% respectively. And gas prices rise again even if the future is impossible with gasoline and diesel was flat, visible LNG automobile promotion space.

By the new policy as a priority class
1 February 1, 2012 formally implemented gas utilization policy, which will be natural gas vehicle (especially in dual fuel and liquefied natural gas vehicle), including the city buses, taxis, delivery vehicles, passenger cars, sanitation trucks and truck transportation vehicles with natural gas as fuel are classified into first class development, the LNG industry is encouraged and promoted.

In addition, in the "goals" singled out "optimize the energy structure, developing low carbon economy, and promote energy conservation and emission reduction". To bear the task of energy saving and emission reduction and optimization of energy structure the main body of road transport industry, using the advantage of the natural gas vehicle are self-evident.

LNG site construction relative lag
It is understood that the current domestic standards of LPG stations quantity is not much, and for more simple device prizing stand on the market. "Tianjin LNG stations here is not much, many users are buying pry loading pull myself out of breath. Jixian LNG sales the most, but not jixian LPG stations, tanggu sold dozens of vehicles, also there is only one standard of LPG stations and two informal mobile stations." People familiar with the matter said.

Henan, shandong Qingdao, lianyungang, and even elsewhere across the country have a similar situation. "Five stations are now built in each of the construction of the logistics company within the improvised pry station. Standard stand construction is too complex, formalities has down to run 27 departments, cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the urban area of land is not so good looking." By henan wanli shipping group vice President, said to promote LNG heavy card, the group established the kunlun mountains, henan wanli energy service co., LTD., the business is one of LPG station network construction. "The use of natural gas bus is a kind of trend, but at present only two LNG stations in Qingdao, also is not in the downtown, stations and other supporting a continuous restricted the promotion of LNG buses is not very sound." Suzhou jinlong shandong marketing manager said helplessly. Lianyungang chi lang group automobile sales and service co., LTD. General manager also said that poor LNG truck sales and local stations in lianyungang construction does not reach the designated position.
 

Because of LNG vehicle of LPG stations lack of restraint, LNG currently applies only to the inter-city passenger cars, buses and heavy card.
However, the gas utilization policy in encouraging local support construction of LPG stations to make such provision: the priority class gas projects, local governments at various levels in the planning, land use, financing to support policies, fees, etc. Encourage and support the automotive, Marine natural gas filling construction of facilities and equipment.

According to statistics, by the end of October 2012, our country has put the number of liquefied natural gas, LPG stations about 385 seats, compared with the same period in 2011 doubled; Is expected by the end of November 2012, that number has risen to nearly 400, while developing at a breathtaking pace, but is still minuscule compared to the gas station, CNG, LPG stations.

With explosive growth potential
From the "2012 China natural gas automobile BBS" learned, the ministry of transport have been identified in liaoning, ningxia, jiangsu, shandong and guangdong trucks group, shanxi trucks to carry out the inter-city road passenger and cargo transport vehicles pilot, promote natural gas vehicle to point with surface, focus on promoting the use of LNG vehicles.

Former chairman of China road transport association Yao Mingde further revealed that the new stations will be in China during the "twelfth five-year" 3000, LPG stations amounted to around 5000 seats, is likely to form the world's largest natural gas vehicle gas network. Among them, in addition to the taxi and parts of continue to use CNG buses, inter-city passenger vehicles and new buses will be widely used in LNG, the proportion will rise sharply.

At present, the pure electric vehicles to be accepted by the mainstream it will take time, in order to solve the problems such as environment, energy, development of natural gas vehicle of choice for all parties. During the period of "11th five-year plan", China made a breakthrough in the natural gas vehicle technology and achievements, all related energy plan and the schedule of the state; Policy and form a complete set of "twelfth five-year" more to plug in the wings of the ideal natural gas vehicle industry. At present, China's road transport vehicles more than 14 million vehicles, the future such as a large number of use LNG as fuel, LNG automobile market has the potential to explosive growth. It will LNG engine, LNG cylinders, and the natural gas vehicle matching with LNG and LNG liquefaction plant small LPG equipment such as relatively arbitrage industry will benefit from it.
