Abstract

Natural gas has low-carbon attributes and plays an important role in China’s energy security as a transitional energy source. However, a series of problems, such as high external dependence, seriously threaten China’s natural gas supply security. This study constructs a multi-scenario system dynamics model from a dynamic perspective, analyzes the changes in the resilience of the natural gas system under 39%, 56%, and 100% disruptions in liquefied natural gas imports, compares the improvement effects of different emergency measures, and proposes a path to enhance the resilience of China’s natural gas system. The research conclusions are: China’s natural gas system can recover from only a 39% shortage. The improvement effect of dual measures on the natural gas system is significantly better than that of single measures, in the order of “dual measures > demand compression only > emergency supply only.” An increase in the capacity of liquefied natural gas and underground gas storage should take into account their tank and reserve capacity. A simultaneous increase in liquefied natural gas tank capacity and emergency gasification capability is key to improving China’s gas system resilience under a scenario of extreme shortage.
