The International Energy Agency (IEA) says global natural gas consumption rebounded by 4.6% in 2021, more than double the decline seen in the gas market in 2020. The strong growth in demand in 2021 was driven by the economic recovery that followed 2020’s lockdowns and a succession of extreme weather events.
