Natural Gas Information
Time series of annual gas supply balances, imports and exports for OECD and non-OECD countries. The service is updated twice a year: in April with complete data up to year-2 and in July with additional provisional supply data for the year-1.
Overview
The Natural Gas Information data service contains time series of annual gas data for both OECD and non-OECD countries from 1960 to 2022. Country aggregates for OECD, IEA, and regional totals are included.
In the OECD files, there are complete supply and demand balances and breakdown of trade by origin/destination. In the World files, there are data on production, total imports and exports, gross inland consumption, and breakdown of imports by origin. The 2022 data are finalised in the OECD files, and provisional in the World files. The World files will be updated in July 2024 with finalised data up to 2022, and provisional data for 2023.

Gas
Natural gas now accounts for about a quarter of global electricity generation. While in the medium term it is seen playing a major role supporting a transition to net zero energy systems, its longer-term use is uncertain in a world dominated by non-emitting renewable energies.
