Global demand for natural gas is expected to reach an all-time high next year as competition for seaborne fuel intensifies between Asia and Europe, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The IEA’s forecast signals another challenging year ahead for Europe, where consumers are still grappling with elevated energy bills. Although gas prices in the region have dropped significantly from the crisis peaks of 2022, they remain above historical averages. Rising geopolitical risks continue to drive prices and market volatility. #EnergyConnects #energynews #energyindustry #news #oott #naturalgas #europe
