BEIJING—China’s LNG trucking capacity will double to 38 million tonnes by 2025, consultancy Wood Mackenzie said in a report on June 4.

The flexibility offered from delivering LNG by truck will help offset a lack of infrastructure such as pipelines, storage and regasification units, the consultancy said.

Wood Mackenzie estimated the country’s gas consumption would reach 264 billion cubic metres in 2018, with 12% of that delivered by trucks.

While gas demand is expected to remain healthy this year, the next winter shortage will not be as severe as last season, Wood Mackenzie said.
