Global Natural Gas Demand to Grow 36% by 2050 - Gas Exporting Countries Forum

Global demand for natural gas will increase by 36% by 2050 compared to the current levels due to increased consumption in the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, an energy economics analyst in the Energy Economics and Forecasting Department of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF), Galia Fazelianova, said on Wednesday.

"The demand for natural gas is expected to grow significantly, by 36%. By 2050, the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa will be the largest consumers," Fazelianova said at the Russian Energy Week forum in Moscow.

At the same time, demand for gas in Europe and North America is expected to decline due to energy efficiency policies and the transition to renewable energy, she said.

Gas production is also expected to increase to keep pace with growing demand, driven mainly by gas-producing countries in the Middle East, the expert added. By 2050, it will reach 5.46 trillion cubic meters per year worldwide, she said.

The Russian Energy Week is being held in Moscow from October 11-13, bringing together high-ranking officials and representatives of leading energy companies from over 60 countries.
