Interim Regulations on City Gas Work

Article 1: City gas is a major energy source for people’s lives and industrial production in modern cities. The development of coal gas can save energy, reduce urban pollution, promote industrial production, improve people's living standards, and achieve significant comprehensive social and economic benefits. The development of city gas is of great significance to accelerating the realization of a modern city with high material and spiritual civilization.

Cities should regard the development of urban gas industry as an important part of urban construction. Carefully organize and implement it to gradually realize urban coal gasification. Article 2 The development of urban gas must implement the development policy of multiple gas sources, multiple channels, adapting measures to local conditions, and rational utilization of energy. Priority is given to the use of natural gas, vigorous development of coal gas production, active recovery of industrial and mining gas, rational utilization of liquefied petroleum gas, and appropriate development of oil. Make gas.

Cities with conditions should make reasonable arrangements to build gas source plants based on the possibility of local resources, financial and material resources. For key cities that lack energy, they should seek the allocation of high-quality raw materials from the state and supply them at designated locations, so as to select reasonable gas production processes and develop city gas.

For megacities and key cities lacking energy, oil-to-gas can be used as a gas source for urban peak shaving and heating. Article 3 Units operating city gas are service production enterprises. Its basic tasks are to serve people's lives, serve industrial production, engage in energy conversion, and organize the production, transmission, distribution and application of coal gas. It is responsible for the gas supply for residents' lives, public welfare, and industrial production. When formulating operation and management policies for urban gas enterprises, the competent authorities should fully consider enterprise technology development, production development, fund retention, bonus commissions, employee welfare and other interests based on the characteristics of the enterprise, so as to better promote the development of the urban gas industry. Article 4 Principles of urban gas supply: Priority should be given to the development of urban residential users, appropriate development of public welfare users, and the rational development of high-, sophisticated, sophisticated industries and small and medium-sized industrial enterprises that must use gas and have significant energy savings in production processes. Article 5: The price of gas should be set according to the law of value, and the principle of high quality and low price should be implemented to make the enterprise slightly profitable. Gas pricing should be based on factors such as production costs, taxes and profits.

When setting and adjusting gas prices, it should be based on the fact that the price of gas for residents is higher than the price of coal, the price of gas for public welfare institutions is higher than the price of residents, and the price of industrial gas is higher than The price of gas used by public welfare institutions is reasonably comparable to that of oil and electricity. The price can be calculated based on calorific value. Article 6 The development of urban gas: The policy of equal emphasis on increasing revenue and reducing expenditure should be implemented, efforts should be made to reduce energy consumption and improve energy conversion rate; rational and economical use of gas should be achieved; new energy-saving technologies, new processes and energy-saving technologies should be actively promoted. new device. Article 7 City gas is an integral part of urban overall planning, urban construction and urban management. In order to rationally utilize resources, facilitate the simultaneous construction of urban facilities, and ensure the safe supply of flammable, explosive, and easily poisonous gas, the urban gas industry must be uniformly planned, constructed, and managed by the urban construction department to achieve coordinated development.

Article 8 of Capital Construction: Urban gas construction must be compiled under the guidance of the city’s overall planning and a professional urban gas plan. When formulating the plan, careful investigation and research on the possibility of local resource development and utilization, long-term gas sources, raw material demand, proportion of various users, technical and economic analysis, etc. should be done carefully.

New construction and expansion projects of city gas, energy-saving projects for residual gas utilization and large-scale technological transformation projects must all conduct feasibility studies and be included in national or local capital construction plans, and capital construction procedures must be strictly implemented.

The sources of gas project construction funds can be solved through various channels. Fund-raising must follow the principles of voluntariness, benefit, reasonable burden, and not affecting national fiscal revenue. Article 9 The three wastes management in the new construction, expansion, and renovation projects of gas plants must implement the regulations of simultaneous design, simultaneous construction, and simultaneous commissioning, and strictly implement the industrial "three wastes" emission standards formulated by the state. Existing gas companies should solve the three waste pollution problems within a time limit in accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Protection Law. Article 10: In the construction of gas projects, new technologies, new processes, new materials, and new equipment should be actively adopted, and efforts should be made to improve the degree of mechanization and automation. Gas source plants should vigorously carry out comprehensive utilization, recycle chemical products, rationally co-produce other products, and conduct diversified operations to reduce gas costs. Article 11 The design and construction of gas projects shall implement a bidding and contracting responsibility system to speed up construction, ensure project quality, and improve the economic benefits of investment.

Operation and Management Article 12: Reform the operation and management system of urban gas enterprises. The operation and management of enterprises should be based on economic benefits, with social benefits and environmental benefits as the purpose, and high-quality services should be provided.

Gas companies implement a manager responsibility system, promote various forms of economic responsibility systems, and continuously improve service quality and operation and management levels.

Article 13 Gas enterprises shall assess the following indicators on the basis of strengthening operation and management, ensuring safe production, and improving service quality:

1. Supply: Artificial gas sales volume (10,000 cubic meters/year)

Natural gas sales volume (10,000 cubic meters/year)

Liquefied petroleum gas sales volume (tons/year)

Number of users developed (households/year)

Among them: civilian users

Public welfare undertakings

Industrial users

2. Quality: Gas quality qualification rate (%)

3. Consumption: Artificial gas consumption of raw coal (tons/million kcal)

Artificial gas consumption of heavy oil (tons/million kcal)

Artificial gas (or natural gas) transmission and distribution consumption Electricity (kWh/thousand cubic meters)

Fuel consumption of LPG transport vehicles (kg/ton)
