Recently, JIC Leasing signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Jereh to explore the construction of a fully realized natural gas industry chain and promote the development of the clean energy industry.

JIC Leasing has always been guided by national strategy, and based on serving the real economy. The two sides in this cooperation will actively explore leveraging the advantages of financial leasing to better connect the industry chain, promote the integration of industry and finance, provide financial and consulting services, construct an integrated natural gas industry chain, and facilitate the adjustment of China’s energy structure.

Under the ‘new normal’ of economic growth shifts and resource and environmental constraints, green energy transformation is becoming increasingly urgent. Natural gas is a high-quality, efficient, and clean low-carbon energy source, which makes it the most realistic choice for clean energy supply. Accelerating the development of the natural gas industry and increasing the proportion of natural gas in primary energy consumption is the only way China can effectively accelerate the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system. It is also an effective way to relieve environmental constraints, improve air quality, and achieve green and low-carbon development.

China has now become one of the biggest drivers of natural gas consumption growth around the world. This new volume of gas consumption is crucial for ensuring people’s standard of living, the development of industries, and the safeguarding and improvement of the environment. The gas shortage in winter 2017 across many parts of the country highlighted the urgency of increasing and maintaining natural gas supply, and also acted as an impetus for accelerating the development of domestic natural gas resources, foreign pipeline natural gas, and liquefied natural gas importation. The need for systematic construction of various natural gas ground facilities as well as storage and transportation facilities in ports and inland areas has also become increasingly prominent. In the field of natural gas, Jereh has devised integrated supply solutions such as integrated upstream oil and gas field development; oil and gas ground engineering: oil and gas equipment; storage, transportation, and downstream mining; and LNG/CNG filling stations. Additionally, the group has invested in overseas upstream natural gas so as to better explore the use of low-cost natural gas resources.

JIC Leasing will actively leverage the advantages inherent to the leasing model, help transform and upgrade the real economy, assist enterprises in facing financial challenges, promote the rapid transformation of technological advantages into industrial advantages, help China’s green energy structure adjustment, accelerate the creation of a beautiful China, and bring back blue skies and white clouds.
