The natural gas consumption has changed significantly in last ten years in China. This paper conducted a series of evaluations to analyze the China natural gas consumption. By analyzing the natural gas consumption sector, three important sectors, Industrial, Residential and Transport, are chosen as the study objectives. The main application of these three factors were discussed and different determinants for each sector were chosen. Correlation factor of each determinant was then calculated through grey coefficients analysis to investigate the relationship between determinants and natural gas consumption. We hope this evaluation can help to provide better policy plan of natural gas consumption in China.
