LNG: Global Gas Market Still 30bcm Short in 2025 Despite Growing LNG Supply: IEA
LNG
The global gas market needs more LNG to fully balance back to pre-crisis supply levels, according to IEA analyst Greg Molnar.
- Despite stronger supply growth the global gas market will still be around 30bcm short in 2025 keeping market conditions tight and volatility supported amid growing geopolitical tensions.
- More time and more LNG are needed to make-up for the lost Russian volumes as the market recovers from the 2022/23 gas supply shock.
- Russian piped gas deliveries to Europe fell by about one-fifth of the global LNG market of 120bcm between 2022/23 and could decline by a further 15bcm in 2025 as the Russian-Ukraine transit contract expires.
- Global LNG supply grew less than 50bcm through 2022-24 while Russian Power of Siberia pipeline flows to China rose by 20bcm.
- LNG supply growth is to accelerate in 2025, with around 30bcm of additional gas from projects such as Plaquemines or LNG Canada.
- Power of Siberia will add around 8bcm of gas supply as it reaches nameplate capacity in 2025.
