Abstract—Natural gas as a low carbon, high efficiency, and clean energy plays an important role in many fields such as agriculture, industry, social life, the national economy development and energy structure optimization. However, natural gas is a non-renewable resource. As facing the limitations of its reservation and production and the accelerating expansion of its use, we have to take positive and effective measures to improve the sustainable development of natural gas resources. This paper expounds the definition of sustainable development, respectively analyzes the connotation of sustainable development from its natural attribute, social attribute and economic attribute, and explains the essence of sustainable development. According to the idea of sustainable development, the resource foundation for the sustainable development of natural gas in china is analyzed and problems facing in the sustainable development of natural gas are discussed. Therefore, in order to promote the sustainable development of natural gas in our country, we have to solve the problems we are facing through diverse strategies. Finally, natural gas will play a more important role in the national energy structure, and make a greater contribution to energy-saving, emission reduction, and the development of national economy.
Index Terms—Natural gas, sustainable development, resource foundation, energy utilization structure, development strategy.
