The global gas market experienced unprecedented volatility and turmoil over the last 18 months. A collapse in natural gas demand and prices in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis in early 2020 gave way to progressively tightening market conditions and surging prices in the second half of 2020 and throughout 2021. Brief energy crises in Northeast Asia and Texas during the previous heating season and the prospect of a gas supply crunch in Europe in the upcoming northern hemisphere winter underscore the importance of gas supply security and market flexibility in a transitioning energy system.
The IEA’s latest Quarterly Gas Market Report and Global Gas Security Review explores the gas market dynamics leading up to the present market tightness and provides a short-term forecast for 2022. The report also features an annual assessment of global gas market flexibility metrics and LNG contracting trends, as well as an in-depth analysis of the supply security implications of a transition to low-carbon gases. We hope you will join us for this virtual discussion to explore recent market trends and the outlook for global gas supply, demand, and security.
