Which department is in charge of the LNG gasification station?

I’d like to ask everyone, which department is in charge of the LNG gasification stations? Can the Urban Construction Bureau exercise oversight over gas stations built in towns and villages for use by one’s own company, without them being open to the public?
Unless you build on Mars, **regulatory authorities have the right to supervise and regulate.
Logically speaking, if it is for personal use, the gas regulatory authority has no right to supervise it, as it isn’t city-supplied gas; yet in practice, they still get involved to some extent.
For urban gas facilities, the gas regulatory authorities have the right to supervise and manage them.
Due to the **restructuring of departmental organizations, the Shandong region is now under the management of the Energy Sections in the local development and reform bureaus.
Your situation relates to the many LNG supply stations that exist these days, namely those operated by industrial enterprises. At present, the management of such stations varies from province to province across the country; in some provinces it is the responsibility of the housing and construction departments, while in others it isn’t, and there is no uniform standard, as the Ministry of Housing and Construction has not issued any unified guidelines on this issue. Even if the housing and construction departments, emergency management departments, or other relevant departments are unwilling to get involved, there is still the Safety Committee Office; if it does not take action, then no one will handle the matter, but once it does act, some department will take charge. However, this is not a sustainable solution – it is a problem related to departmental management. Another issue is that some provinces or cities introduce regulations to eliminate the use of on-site gas supply stations or self-provided gas supply systems, but this can only be done if pipeline gas is available. So, these problems are temporary; as long as no accidents occur, people don’t pay much attention to them. But once accidents happen and negative consequences arise, then relevant departments will step in to take action and address the situation. This is a common phenomenon in the current process of economic development – supervision lags behind the pace of development. This phenomenon will not last long.
