China is planning to renovate 20,000 kilometers (12,427 miles) of aging gas pipelines this year after a series of fatal blasts.
The program will target pipelines with potential safety risks, Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Wang Menghui said Thursday at a press conference. It follows several high-profile explosions as aging infrastructure tries to keep pace with rocketing growth for the cleaner burning fuel.
