Structural factors driving LNG demand Source: Platts and ICE via MarketView, SIA, IEA Electricity Market Report 2020. 18 Region YTD growth Comments China +29% Improved gas infrastructure penetration increases demand. Increased industrial demand from economic recovery & heating demand from consumers. India (3.5)% Government policy to support natural gas to tackle pollution issues and energy poverty; vision for 15% of total primary energy consumption to come from natural gas by 2030, up from just 6.5% now. Europe (24)% Increased reliance on imported gas due to domestic declines. Higher carbon prices and climate action urgency boost demand. SE Asia 2.3% Fastest growing region for power demand at 5.4% in 2021. Limited private - sector financing for new coal projects makes LNG attractive as a baseload fuel.
Asian LNG demand up 10% this year China/JKT (Japan - Korea - Taiwan) LNG imports up 29%/5%, respectively, through April and Indian imports fell due to higher spot prices 19 Source: Kpler .
