Boiler and Gas Exhibitions to Be Held Together in the Shanghai International Exhibition Center from June 20
SHANGHAI, China, June 20 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Gas Expo Shanghai 2007 and the 8th International Exhibition on Boiler, Heating and Energy Saving Technology will be held ceremoniously in the Shanghai International Exhibition Center from June 20 to 23, 2007.
The 8th International Exhibition on Boiler, Heating and Energy Saving Technology is sponsored by the Industrial Boiler Branch of the China Electrical Equipment Industrial Association, and organized by Shanghai Boiler Research Institute and World Expo Group Shanghai International Exhibition Co. Ltd. It is supported honorarily by the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society, China Electrical Equipment Industrial Association, Shanghai Science and Technology Commission, Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision and the Shanghai Environmental Protection Administration and covered by the media Industrial Boiler, Communication on Industrial Boilers and http://www.boiler.com .
According to the Mid and Long-Term Development Programs for Energy Saving and "Opinions on Carrying Out Ten Key Energy Saving Projects in the 'Eleventh Five-Year Plan'" promulgated by the State Development and Reform Commission, the average operational heat efficiency of existing industrial boilers must be increased by 5% during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" and 25 million ton of standard coal saved every year. Meanwhile, combined heat and power generation and the technologies for supplying heat centrally and using remaining heat should be energetically promoted. Use of clean and renewable energy sources should be encouraged. Today when coal-burning industrial boilers (furnaces) rank first among the ten key energy-saving projects in the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan," priority will be given to development and use of energy-saving and clean burning technologies and boilers and new energy-saving technologies and equipment for industrial boilers will be developed rapidly. Seven sessions of the biennial Shanghai International Exhibition on Boiler, Heating and Energy Saving Technology have been held successfully since 1993. It has drawn wide attention from industry insiders and outsiders due to the constant expansion and advancement of its scale and level and manufacturers from such countries and regions as America, Germany, Britain, Italy, Finland, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, who all participated in each of its past sessions. This demonstrates its exhibition scale has been raised gradually and that it has become the most influential specialized boiler exhibition in China. Various boilers, completing products and technologies, auxiliary boiler devices, relevant products and technologies and energy-saving technologies and equipment will be shown in this session. In light of the aims of holding this exhibition, i.e. "maintaining characteristics, adapting to the market, satisfying visitors and serving exhibitors," this session will try to innovate, further expanding the coverage of the exhibition. It will try expanding its international and domestic influence to make full use of Shanghai's leading position and radiating function. The exhibition will centrally show new technologies and new products of relevant domestic and foreign companies in connection with boilers, heat supplies, energy-saving technologies and equipment; environment-protecting technologies and equipment; and development and use of new energy resources. The exhibition expects to enhance exchange between domestic and foreign counterparts and provide good business opportunities for Chinese and foreign manufacturers.
The receiving units of Gas Expo Shanghai are Shanghai World Expo (Group) Co. Ltd. and CCPIT Shanghai Branch. It's sponsored by Shanghai Gas Association and World Expo Group Shanghai International Exhibition Co. Ltd., especially supported by Shenneng (Group) Company Ltd., Shenneng Company Ltd. and Shanghai Gas (Group) Co. Ltd. and covered by http://www.gasshow.com . This exposition will exhibit combined cold, heat and power generation and supply; natural gas and LPG-exploiting and processing equipment; construction of gas networks, tubings, anti-corrosion technologies and equipment; gas transport and distribution technologies, equipment and maintenance; management technologies; gas measurement, detection, control, automation technologies and equipment; safety equipment and technologies; industrial gas equipment for supplying heat (hot water) by gas; various gas appliances and gas application technologies; gas-driven and assisted vehicles; devices for replenishing vehicles with LPG and CNG; display of gas dealers' images and brands; and introduction to related associations, research institutes and media.
With the increasingly strict requirements for environmental protection and the enhancement of people's environmental protection awareness, clean energy sources of natural gas will have an increasingly big market share and broad prospects. Driven by the demand for energy resources in Shanghai and other areas, the demand for natural gas in China will be great in the next ten years. It's expected that the demand for natural gas will reach 100 billion m3 in 2010. Based on this, it's predicted that there will still be a gap between the demand for natural gas and the future potential and producible output of natural gas in China. Such a gap will have to be filled by imported natural gas and LNG conveyed by pipelines. Our government encourages foreign businessmen to participate in the exploration and development of natural gas, construction and operation of infrastructure projects, natural gas projects, power station projects, gas projects for large and medium-sized cities and other projects. Terminal sales markets for natural gas will be continuously opened up in our country and have plenty of room for development. Projects such as conveyance of gas from the west to the east and from the sea to the land; importation of LNG; and the introduction of Russian gas from Russia in the north are in full swing and preparation. They are bound to provide reliable guarantees, rare opportunities and wonderful room for the imagination in the exploration of gas development in our cities. Meanwhile, this endows the exhibition with a special significance.
