China CNG (compressed natural gas) Filling Machine Market Analysis

This report is related to China CNG (compressed natural gas) market analysis. Please also see the description of the CNG report.

Energy is a concern for all countries in the world. To reduce both the auto industry's dependence on oil and pollution caused by car emission, many countries are seeking alternative energies to diversify their vehicle fuels. CNG is one of the most important alternatives. 60 to 70 countries in the world are currently engaging in the CNG R&D. There are about four million vehicles in the world using CNG as fuel, and China has 97 thousand. This renders huge room for the development of CNG filling machines. Even though, the current development of CNG vehicle filling machines lags far behind that of CNG vehicles.

The latest statistics shows that there were 80 cities in 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities that encouraged and supported the development of natural gas vehicles. Most stations are concentrated in places close to natural gas fields like Sichuan province, Chongqing, Urumchi, Xi'an, and Lanzhou. In these places, gas sources are close and gas price is low (only about 40 percent to 50 percent of oil price). These favorable conditions constitute the major force that drives the development of CNG vehicles in these places.

There are at least 20 CNG filling machine manufacturers in China. Famous enterprises in the industry include Beijing Chang Kong, Jinxing Hongyi, Huaqi Houpu, Chongqing Silian, Chongqing Innova, Shenzhen Yaweihua, Zhenzhou Kelin Oil, and Zibo Boshan Green-Energy. Currently, some of China's domestic brands of CNG filling machines, like Beijing Chang Kong, and Chongqing Innova, have developed their own product series. The localization rate for CNG filling machines has reached 87.65 percent. But on the whole, China's CNG filling machine industry is still in the assembly stage. The country has not yet possessed independent intellectual property rights for core components and parts of CNG filling machines. Basically, China depends on import for these core components and parts. And this situation will remain so for a long time to come.

It's a global trend to replace oil with NG as the auto fuel. China is no exception. NG vehicles have been heavily promoted and more NG stations built in urban China. China now has one model zone of carbinol vehicles, four model cities of power-engine vehicles, and16 key cities where NG vehicles are heavily promoted. There're 97.2 thousand NG vehicles and 355 NG stations across the country, substituting 1.3 million tons of oil every year and obviously improving the air quality of the model cities. CNG vehicles are currently gaining momentum and will be widely promoted and applied in the coming years. This provides huge room for the development of CNG fueling machines.

The number of vehicles in China increases dramatically by more than 1 million a year. Under the 'Eleventh Five-Year Plan', new clean-energy vehicles have been listed in the National Medium- and Long-term Programs for the Development of Science and Technology. The central government will continue to develop natural gas in a large scale and accelerate pipeline network construction to make it possible to develop CNG and gas stations.

China CNG (compressed natural gas) filling machine market analysis is an invaluable asset for anyone who wants to invest in the compressed natural gas market, to import into/from China, to build factories in China, to partner with one of the key Chinese corporations, or to compete in the segment.
