Gas Market Outlook and LNG Decarbonisation in Southeast Asia Webinar

Webinar

Thank you to everyone who joined the IEA’s Gas, Coal and Power Markets Division and the IEA Regional Cooperation Centre for our first regionally focused webinar marking the release of the IEA Gas Market Report 2025.

The session, held on 19 November 2025, explored the latest global gas market developments and provided a detailed medium-term outlook to 2030, with a special focus on what these trends mean for Southeast Asia. The discussion also covered the emerging role of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and low-emissions gases in the evolution of regional gas and LNG markets.

The full webinar recording is available on this page for replay.

 

Topics Covered

Speakers provided insights on:

  • Recent global gas market developments and supply–demand dynamics

  • The unfolding global LNG wave and implications for price formation and market security

  • Medium-term global supply and demand outlooks to 2030

  • Southeast Asia’s increasing LNG import needs and infrastructure challenges

  • The role of CCUS in upstream gas and LNG decarbonisation

  • Growth prospects for low-emissions gases, including biomethane and low-emissions hydrogen

 

Key Messages

  • The Gas 2025 Report, published in late October, provides a comprehensive review of recent developments, a medium-term outlook to 2030, and a special feature on CCUS and low-emissions gases.

  • Global gas markets are gradually shifting towards a buyer’s market as the next LNG supply wave unfolds.

  • Southeast Asia’s LNG import requirements are set to grow sharply, driven by rising gas demand and declining domestic production, making infrastructure readiness essential.

  • Momentum is growing behind CCUS, including applications in upstream gas and LNG decarbonisation.

  • While market fundamentals are easing, continued investment is crucial: insufficient investment in new LNG supply could lead to renewed tightening in the 2030s.

Speakers

  • Sue-Ern Tan, Head of the IEA Regional Cooperation Centre

  • Dennis Hesseling, Head of Gas, Coal and Power Markets Division

  • Gergely Molnár, Gas Analyst

  • Ákos Losz, Lead Gas Analyst

  • Philippe Rose, Senior Energy Analyst
