Natural Gas – Outlook for the next 5 years
n Gas demand is in the fast lane, thanks to its flexibility & ability to ease
environmental problems
n Global gas markets are being re-shaped by three major structural shifts
Ø China becoming the world’s largest natural gas importer
Ø US gas production and LNG exports rising dramatically
Ø Industry displacing power generation as the leading growth sector
n The gas industry’s future remains bright, but it is not without challenges
Ø Gas price competitiveness & market reforms in emerging markets
Ø Curbing methane leaks along the value chain

China was a remarkable success story for electrification, bringing access to hundreds of millions in record time;
India achieved electricity access for all its villages in 2018; Today the challenge is concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa

Conclusions
n The versatility of natural gas means that it is well placed to grow, with LNG underpinning
the shift to a more competitive, global gas market
n Gas demand continue to rise in all IEA scenarios to 2040
n For the future of gas to remain bright, prices need to stay competitive in emerging
markets & industry needs to continue to improve its environmental performance
n Gas can play a role in overcoming the challenges of local air pollution, climate change &
energy access
n The IEA will continue to help governments & industry with timely data, rigorous analysis,
an all-of-technology approach and real-world solutions
