SINGAPORE : Chinese cities have been raising residential natural gas prices in recent weeks after Beijing launched a new mechanism linking retail residential gas prices with distributors' fuel purchasing costs, a reform long sought by utilities.

Purchase costs for city-gas distributors will be calculated by averaging the cost of different supply sources including piped gas, liquefied natural gas and compressed natural gas, said the sources.
