Russia Chinese imports from

Whether, at gas prices equivalent to more than 100/bbl oil, imports can be increased to 70 bcm/year which some projections suggest by 2015 is uncertain (EIA, 2006b). Chinese gas import diversification towards pipeline gas from Central Asia, is not likely to ease the price problem, given the distance which the gas will need to travel. Continuing inability to agree on large-scale pipeline gas imports from Russia - easily the most attractive source of imported gas for China - will restrict the role of the fuel in China s energy balance over the next decade (Fridley, 2008). 

The composition of turpentine varies depending on the species of tree from which it is produced and plantations may contain a variety of species and chemotypes, therefore the composition of crude turpentine is subject to variation. The largest production is sulfate turpentine from the southeastern United States, which amounts to well over 100,000 tonnes/annum and in 2005 was priced under 2/gal. Second most important is Chinese gum turpentine, which is produced in about half that volume. Other significant sources include gum turpentine from Russia, Brazil, Portugal, India, and Mexico, and sulfate turpentine from Canada. These last few each being of the order of 10,000 tonnes/annum. Scandanavia and Chile are now also significant suppliers of CST.
