"The 2026 edition of the International Gas Union’s (IGU) World LNG Report shows record trade, near-record investment and a strong long-term growth outlook despite unprecedented market disruption. The global liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade reached a record of 437 million tonnes in 2025, with a 6.3% increase – the strongest growth since 2022, while investment in new LNG supply surged to its highest level in six years. Trade growth was driven by expanding supplies from the United States, Qatar and other producers, while Canada and Mauritania/Senegal joined the ranks of LNG-exporting nations for the first time."

"This edition of our Gas In Transition magazine is dedicated to those who innovate, men and women across our global Gas industry, and to organisations which constantly seek to challenge the possible. This edition is a tribute to them. Behind every innovation in our industry there is a person; someone who had an idea and dared to push the boundaries of “this cannot be done” or of “this wouldn’t work”. Innovation never happens in isolation, nor can it be expected if the investment to pilot it or take it to market is not there. Innovation needs regulatory support to take off and demonstrate its proof of concept. It also needs iteration to get it right."

"Latin America and the Caribbean hold abundant underdeveloped natural gas resources that, if effectively developed and monetised, can provide multiple benefits to the region and world. Despite this potential, Latin America and the Caribbean account for a relatively small share of global natural gas production (approximately 5%). From a supply-side perspective, the monetisation of the region’s natural gas reserves can drive economic growth, strengthen the trade balance through higher exports and reduced imports, and support social development by expanding access to cleaner, more affordable and reliable energy."

"The 2026 edition of the Wholesale Gas Price Survey highlights how increased market flexibility helped the global natural gas industry navigate through the disruption caused by the loss of Russian pipeline gas to Europe in 2022 and, more recently, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz in 2026 - expanded LNG infrastructure, stronger interconnectivity and greater spot market liquidity have significantly improved global energy security and reduced the severity of supply disruptions."
