policies, to accelerate control management over high energy consumption and
high pollution industry, and gradually promote the transformation and upgrade
of traditional industries, promote the implementation of “coal to gas” project,
orderly replacement of coal-fired boilers for industrial and commercial use and
the implementation of natural gas price reform, and gradually stabilise and
improve the natural gas supply so as to ensure the healthy development of the
national clean energy industries. Natural gas in PRC will be widely used
further, the natural gas industry will usher in a new round of rapid growth in
the future and entered into a new stage in a faster and broader way. The Group
will seize the opportunity, and leverage their strengths, and is actively

business grows considerably. The Group has already acquired four nature gas
companies successfully, and completed the disposal of its nature gas business
