China’s largest single-pipe natural gas transmission project, the China-Russia east-route natural gas pipeline, officially went into full operation on Monday. From construction to operation, the pipeline’s critical equipment and core control systems have been entirely domestically produced, China Media Group (CMG) reported.
With the full operation of this 5,111-kilometer natural gas pipeline, its annual transmission capacity is set to be raised to a peak of 38 billion cubic meters, benefiting about 450 million people along its route, according to the report.
