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

    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.
