Asia Pacific, Middle East to dominate global gas demand growth

The two regions will account for the 80% consumption increase.

Global gas demand growth in the next three years will be “geographically concentrated,” with the Asia Pacific region accounting for almost half of the gas consumption gains to 2025, followed by the Middle East at one-third.

In a report, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said that the two regions combined will be responsible for almost 80% of the increase.

The agency added that North America and Africa will provide “more modest contributions,” whilst consumption in Central and South America, and Eurasia is expected to “broadly stagnate.”

Europe’s gas consumption, meanwhile, is seen to decline more significantly.

However, the risks to the agency’s forecast, in the form of lower economic activity and resulting natural gas consumption, are heavily dependent on the state of the war.

“Beyond the threat of further potential gas supply disruptions, uncertainty relating to additional problems in commodity and manufacturing supply chains and further inflationary pressure on commodities could result in a situation of stagflation (low growth and rising prices),” the report read.

It added that the pandemic is still a risk factor, citing the return of lockdowns in China in the first half of 2022.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
