The IEF and JOGMEC have released a new report examining the changing structure of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) markets and the implications for energy security, affordability and resilience. The report, Global LNG Market Security, finds that global LNG trade could reach around 800 billion cubic metres (bcm) by 2031, up from more than 600 bcm expected in 2026.
