Gas in Transition - July 2025
This edition of the magazine takes an in-depth look at the low-carbon fuels and their current applications across a variety of industries, including the innovative technologies that are ramping up in this area around the world. We also have a profile feature with our 2025-2028 President, Mr Andrea Stegher, and his Italian Presidency Team, while introducing IGU's Regional Co-ordinators for the 2025-2028 Triennium!
Wholesale Gas Price Survey 2025 Edition
Since the Survey inception in 2005, natural gas markets have undergone a significant transformation, with gas-on-gas (GOG) competition constantly increasing, largely at the expense of oil-price-escalation (OPE) pricing, and other forms of regulated pricing. The 2025 edition is now available for download.
2025 World LNG Report
Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade grew by 2.4% in 2024 to 411.24 million tonnes (MT), connecting 22 exporting markets with 48 importing markets. Asia Pacific remained the largest exporting region with 138.91 MT in 2024, adding 4.10 MT over 2023. European LNG imports declined sharply, falling 21.22 MT year-on-year to 100.07 MT, driven by high storage levels at the start of the year, sluggish demand, and steady pipeline flows. However, LNG demand rebounded in Asia, with China and India posting strong year-on-year growth in spot LNG imports, driven by heatwaves, infrastructure expansions, and greater reliance on gas-for-power.

IGU Manifesto
As the world faces growing uncertainty, the Gas industry is essential to building more prosperous, secure and sustainable societies for everyone. Gas is essential to human progress and global growth, and its role in a just and orderly global energy transition is critical. Energy security, energy sustainability and tackling energy poverty make Gas, in all its forms, a fundamental energy source for the humanity and for our progress towards decarbonisation and methane emission mitigation. Heating, cooling, refrigeration, industrialisation, electricity, economic development and scientific progress depend on Gas.
The Role of Gas in Eastern Mediterranean Economies
As the East Mediterranean Gas sector continues to develop, there are numerous avenues for investment for foreign direct investments (FDIs) or public-private partnerships (PPPs) ranging from upstream exploration and production to midstream infrastructure projects such as pipelines and LNG terminals, and downstream activities such as energy distribution networks. Other promising regional investment opportunities are developing and deploying decarbonisation technologies such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS).
