If china wants iranian natural gas there are 2 routes, one sea and other the land based. China will not opt for the sea route that's why this pipeline through pakiland is being discussed.

Many thanks for the clarification and confirming that there are Two Routes in the Iran-China Sector.
Regarding Comparing the Transportation Natural Gas by Land with Transporting it as LNG please refer to the following :

[center]<b>PAGES 12 &13 : Natural Gas Transportation Technology and Cost Relative to Distance : Transportation Costs</b>[/center]
I trust the Distance from the Iranian Gas Fields - via Pakistan and Turkmenistan - to the Chinese Eastern-Southern Seaboards would be between 5,000 and 6,000 Miles. Please compare the differences between the Cost of Transportion at these Distances!

Please read the Articles on the Clean Burning of Coal.
Cost of Using Coal : I suppose if not at USD 100 per Barrel in case of Oil then definitely at USD 200 per Barrel.
I do feel that eventually we - our future Generations for sure - will have to go back to the Use of Coal as Oil and Natural Gas do have a limited supply, be it 100 Years or more.
