LNG

Asian economies take advantage of falling LNG prices by switching from gas- to coal-fired generation. “Around 30% of the 380 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas demand growth has come from coal-to-gas switching since 2010, and virtually all of this happened in China," the International Energy Agency (IEA) finds.

Russia's LNG exports fell by 2% in the period January to November this year to 28.4 mill tonnes, according to LSEG’s data, analysed by Reuters.

Argentina has signed a heads of agreement (HoA)k which will lead to its first long-term LNG sales agreement.

US demand for natural gas to be liquefied into LNG surpassed 19 bill cu ft on Friday of last week.
