The Beijing Major Project Office announced the completion of a Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei natural gas pipeline on Nov 29 in Beijing.

According to officials, the total gas consumption of Beijing is expected to reach 11.9 billion cubic meters during the heating season, especially in December and January.

The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei natural gas pipeline, which sprawls across Tianjin Baodi District, Hebei’s Xianghe, and Beijing’s Tongzhou District has a length of 77.5 kilometers with an annual transmission capacity of 17 billion cubic meters.

Guang Hongpeng, deputy director of the Beijing Gas Group Dispatching and Operation center, said, “The natural gas pipeline aims to ease the gas pressure at peak heating season and make for better atmosphere in and around the capital.”
