Natural gas production in Germany reached a record low of 4.5 billion cubic meters in 2020. Between 1998 and 2020, figures decreased by 13 billion cubic meters, and this trend is predicted to continue. Production of natural gas in Germany is quite low, thus relying on imports from other countries to meet demand.
Natural gas production in Germany from 1998 to 2020
(in billion cubic meters)
Excludes flare gas and recycling gas. Includes natural gas produced for Gas-to-Liquids transformation.
As far as possible, the data above represents standard cubic metres (measured at 15ºC and 1013 mbar); as they are derived directly from tonnes of oil equivalent using an average conversion factor, they do not necessarily equate with gas volumes expressed in specific national terms.
Figures for years not included in the pdf version were taken from the Data workbook of the Statistical Review.
This statistic was compiled using several editions of the report.
