This current feature was extracted from the latest edition of Poten’s LNG Market Outlook, a monthly service published on July 26, 2022.
There have been reports of higher summer temperatures in many regions, especially India, Japan, and Europe; however, the impact on LNG demand for power generation remains to be seen. European power demand in 3Q 2022 is forecast to climb by 20% over 2Q 2022 and 15% over 3Q 2021 numbers to 28 Bcm driven by higher demand in the Mediterranean.
