The global LNG benchmark price amounted to 12.37 U.S. dollars per million metric British thermal units in June 2024. The increase noted during the summer months reflected greater gas demand for electricity generation and cooling. Prices rose significantly throughout 2022 as a result of supply issues relating to the Russia-Ukraine war, but have since decreased. In 2023, the worldwide natural gas price index was at times less than a fourth of what it had been in 2022.
The largest LNG importers are countries in Asia and the global LNG benchmark is thus a reflection of trading in the Asian market, particularly for Indonesian LNG in Japan.
