In August 2024, global LNG imports recorded a slight decline of 0.3% to 33.49 Mt. The decline was primarily driven by lower imports in Europe, although this was partially offset by increased imports in the Asia Pacific and MENA regions. The Asia Pacific region’s spot LNG prices maintained a significant premium over those in Europe, attracting more cargoes. Furthermore, a […]
Senegal faces difficult decisions as it navigates a transition to becoming an exporter of LNG with a pipeline of new projects, largely targeting Europe. The need to develop new sources of government revenues must be balanced with meeting domestic energy needs and avoiding locking in an economically unsustainable energy pathway.
The recent shift in the midstream model towards self-funded growth, high-return capital investment, and enhanced contractual agreements has significantly strengthened the financial position of the sector. This transformation has led to reduced business risk, improved valuation multiples, and greater resilience to market volatility, making these companies less correlated with fluctuations in commodity prices. In recent years, energy infrastructure companies have […]
ACER’s daily European LNG price assessment closed at €34.34 on September 17 (down from €36.11 one week ago). ACER publishes its LNG price assessment every weekday before 18.00 CET. The LNG benchmark provides for greater market transparency based on mandatory data reporting; and reflects real-world prices for LNG. Stakeholders may use the LNG benchmark voluntarily.

If crude oil, refined products, natural gas and LNG come to pass as part of the expanded CBAM scope by 2030, MENA producers might be at a considerable advantage over other oil and gas producers of the world, thanks to the lower embedded carbon content of their resources. Both markets are highly liquid, so trade patterns will respond swiftly to […]
The EU is the biggest global gas and LNG importer, yet its potential collective bargaining power is not sufficiently leveraged. This is notable especially in the case of pipeline gas, where the possibility of rerouting gas flows is more limited as shown by the latest unsuccessful efforts by Russia. Total EU imports of natural gas dropped from 334 bcm (93% […]
Updated version of the paper by Robert Howarth which argues that GHG emissions from LNG are 33% greater than for coal. Proponents of increased exports of LNG from the United States to both Europe and Asia have often claimed a climate benefit, arguing that the alternative would be greater use of coal produced domestically in those regions, with increased emissions […]
The latest EIA forecast predicts average U.S. LNG exports would reach 12.1 bcfd in 2024 and 14.1 bcfd in 2025, up from a record 11.9 bcfd in 2023. That was lower than EIA’s LNG export forecast in August of 12.2 bcfd. We forecast that natural gas prices will remain relatively flat in the upcoming shoulder season of September and October […]
