The largest contributor to higher natural gas demand has been US power generation. Indeed, the comment above is correct that most of the demand increase in U.S. That is a significant amount of incremental demand added in a short period of time. A classic example is 2008. Following my previous article on U.S. production.

I heard that in 2008 when oil prices first topped $100 a barrel. Those high oil prices caused a recession, which reduced demand, which reduced prices. Thus, new supplies may come online even as demand softens. Eventually demand recovers, but new supply stagnates. This time there is no easy cure.”

In 2019, offset sellers saw a fivefold increase in purchases, after years of low demand in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Flight-shamed consumers were demanding them. The steep drop in fuel and electricity consumption has slowed consumer demand for carbon offsets in the short term. Then came the coronavirus shock.

A key reason the price of WTI originally eclipsed $100 per barrel in 2008 was that OPEC had been reluctant to significantly increase production in previous years. Meanwhile, global oil demand increased by about 3.2 The peak oil panic was a factor in ultimately driving the price of oil to nearly $150 a barrel in the summer of 2008.
