Global Natural Gas Market Faces Supply Challenges and Shifting Demand Patterns
A speculative scenario envisions a third global natural gas crisis by 2030, driven by declining US shale output, extreme weather, AI data center demands, and LNG export competition. This crisis could cause record gas prices affecting farmers and manufacturers worldwide.
