摘要

The spatial heterogeneity of natural gas resources creates the "Impossible Triangle" dilemma. This study explores the achievement of a regional natural gas industry "Possible Triangle" through coordinated development of safety, economy, and green indicators. Coupling coordination degree model, and kernel density estimation method are integrated to examine these dimensions’ temporal evolution and spatiotemporal differentiation from 2012 to 2022 in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle (CCEC). The results show that (1) The coupling coordination degree significantly increased from 0.500 to 0.794 during the study period, and regional differences first expanded and then converged, showing an inverted U-shaped trend. (2) The coordination level radiated from natural gas-rich cities to surrounding areas, with a clear dependence on resources. The study concludes that contributions are needed from the government, the local CCEC, and the natural gas industry. Key efforts should address shortcomings in coordinated development between "safety-economy" and "economy-green," and resolve resource allocation issues. This study has practical value in promoting the sustainable use of natural gas, reducing environmental pollution, and achieving carbon neutrality goals.
