Chinese Translation of Underground Gas Storage Practices Report. The Environmental Defense Fund developed this report on current conditions and practices of underground gas storage (UGS) in the United States and China with a forward-looking perspective on key elements needed to develop a more comprehensive UGS regulatory program. UGS is key to an effective and reliable gas supply providing operational flexibility to meet an ever-changing supply and demand, notably when supply may be curtailed due to natural or geopolitical reasons. Critical to UGS is a robust regulatory program addressing all phases of operation for the protection of environment, human health and safety.
