Natural gas imports reached 9.15 million tonnes in March, the data from the General Administration of Customs shows.
This compares to 10.75 million tonnes in March 2024.
The world’s largest LNG importer paid about $4.12 billion for gas imports last month.
China’s gas imports reached 29.41 in the first three months of this year, down 10 percent compared to the same period in 2024.
The country paid $13.85 billion for these imports, down 16 percent year-on-year.
China’s natural gas imports rose by 9.9 percent to 131.69 million tonnes in 2024, the data previously showed, while LNG imports increased by 7.7 percent to 76.65 million tonnes last year.
Official data for LNG imports in March this year has not yet been released.
China imported 10.60 million tonnes of LNG in January-February this month, a decrease of 19.1 percent compared to the same period last year.
Its worth mentioning here that China said in February it would impose tariffs of 15 percent on imports of coal and LNG from the US after President Donald Trump imposed a tariff on goods from the country.
Several reports say that China has not been importing US LNG since then.
