According to the International Energy Agency, as winter approaches, a combination of favourable LNG market dynamics, robust pipeline deliveries from suppliers, lower demand, and policy actions has given Europe a chance to sidestep some of the worst immediate impacts of steep cuts to natural gas deliveries.
Furthermore, mild weather, healthy storage levels and strong LNG supply have led to a significant fall in some natural gas price markers. Leading up to the World LNG Summit & Awards, industry experts from BRG Energy & Climate and RWE Supply & Trading discussed whether the global supply-demand balance is currently hanging by a thread.
