Global energy transition scenarios still unclear
Gas markets are in an unstable equilibrium
Planning/investments essential to avoid new shocks
1. Source: Rystad Energy.
From Shock to Fragile balancing in Global Gas Market
• Shortfall of Russian imports in Europe
• Surging LNG demand and prices
• Gas-to-coal switching increased global carbon emissions
Future scenarios still unclear
• Future gas demand scenarios have large fans of outcomes
• Unpredictability of energy transition, financing and politics
• All scenarios call for new gas developments and investments
Natural gas, low carbon gases and LNG remains critical
• Gases are key to balance intermittent renewables
• Future proof gas infrastructure critical to secure today supply and
accelerate decarbonisation via decarbonised gas
• LNG and ssLNG enable access to energy for areas with scarcity
Gas Report 2023 (1)
World Energy Outlook 2023
• Continued geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty
• Coal, oil and gas peak demand by 2030 at a global level
• Highly variable natural gas demand outlook across scenarios
• Power demand increases led by EV and industrial
elecritification
• Solar is the key technology of energy transition
• Grids and batteries need to speed up
• Low-emissions gases to scale up, but actual policies and
investments are insufficient
• CCUS is gaining momentum
• Increase in clean energy investments in all scenarios
• Supply chain investments increase
The energy world remains fragile but it has ways to
improve security and reduce emissions
