Global gas demand to rise

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global gas demand is projected to grow by 2.5% in 2024. This increase is driven by the recovery in energy consumption as economies worldwide continue to rebound post-pandemic. However, supply constraints in certain regions could challenge this growth.

The imbalance between rising demand and restricted supply is expected to lead to higher gas prices, making it difficult for countries to secure stable energy sources. Factors contributing to the supply constraints include geopolitical tensions, logistical challenges, and production issues in key gas-exporting nations.

The rise in gas demand is expected to be particularly noticeable in regions with heavy industrialization and power generation needs. At the same time, European countries and parts of Asia are focusing on diversifying energy sources to avoid over-reliance on gas, accelerating the adoption of renewable energy.

Nonetheless, the transition to greener alternatives remains gradual, and natural gas is still considered a crucial bridge fuel. The IEA’s report highlights the importance of long-term investments in cleaner energy solutions to ease the pressure on gas demand and mitigate environmental impacts. The global energy landscape is shifting, but gas is set to play a key role in meeting the energy needs of the near future.
