Reserves of clean fuel now stand at 1.7 times those of oil, according to experts

China's proven reserves of natural gas are a much better choice than its oil reserves for ensuring adequate energy supplies in the long term, the Ministry of Land and Resources said on Wednesday.

Exploitable resources of natural gas in China were about 38.5 trillion cubic meters by the end of last year, about 1.7 times of the nation's exploitable oil reserves of 20.6 billion metric tons, said ministry officials. Each ton of oil equals to around 1,111 cubic meters of natural gas as fuel, according to industry experts.
