As energy demand continues to rise due to fast-growing populations, industrialisation and the unprecedented acceleration of AI and data centres, natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) are emerging as essential components in the inclusive approach to energy needed to advance a resilient, low-carbon, high-growth future.
The flexibility and versatility of natural gas, particularly in LNG form, make it well-suited for diversifying energy sources, reducing dependence on coal and oil, and integrating effectively with renewable sources – helping to meet sharply rising global energy demand while advancing a resilient, low-carbon future. Global market dynamics continue to evolve, driven by regional agendas, including shifts in supply-demand patterns and geopolitical considerations.
China remains the world's largest LNG buyer, with demand driven by industrial sectors and expanding regasification capacity. The EU, currently a significant LNG importer having purchased 43% of US LNG exports in 2024, faces challenges due to expected declining demand and climate goals. Meanwhile, the US has emerged as a major exporter, while Japan's natural gas demand has declined as it restarts nuclear power plants, reinforcing its energy diversification strategy.
Attendee insights:
Gain valuable perspective on natural gas and LNG's pivotal role in the global energy mix, examining evolving supply-demand dynamics across the US, Europe and Asia, and exploring opportunities to harness diverse forms of energy to fuel inclusive growth.
