IEA’s Quarterly Gas Report – Q3 2024
Natural gas markets moved to more pronounced growth in the first half of 2024, with initial estimates indicating that global gas demand increased at a rate well above its historical average during this period. Demand growth is primarily supported by higher gas use in industry and is increasingly concentrated in Asia, where both China and India returned to double-digit growth rates in the first half of 2024.
Despite this strong growth, the outlook for gas demand remains fragile. Global LNG production underperformed in the second quarter of 2024, while geopolitical tensions are fuelling price volatility. Natural gas prices increased across all key markets in the second quarter of 2024, reflecting tighter market fundamentals.
This latest edition of the quarterly Gas Market Report of the International Energy Agency (IEA) provides a thorough review of market developments over the first half of 2024 and a short-term outlook for the remainder of 2024. As part of the IEA’s Low-Emissions Gases Work Programme, the report includes a section dedicated to the medium-term outlook for biomethane, low-emissions hydrogen and e-methane.
