Global Coal Demand Rises as LNG Shortage Deepens
OilPrice.com·QA · AE · SA·2 days ago
Wood Mackenzie reports India's gas demand dropped 1.5 million tons this year as the Iran war trapped Qatari and UAE LNG in the Persian Gulf, spiking spot prices and destroying demand across South Asia. The report reverses pre-war expectations of 7% demand growth, highlighting the war's supply-side shock on regional energy markets. Uncertainty remains over the duration of the Strait of Hormuz disruption and its full impact on global LNG flows.
