Natural gas price: what influences it?

  • Environmental requirements. More and more countries are transitioning to clean energy sources, which may affect natural gas demand.
  • Gas as a transition fuel. Gas can be used as a source for a smoother transition to alternative energy sources such as solar and wind power.
  • Geopolitical tensions. Friction between countries may impact gas supplies and its prices.
