The average monthly price for natural gas in the United States amounted to **** nominal U.S. dollars per million British thermal units (Btu) in May 2025. By contrast, natural gas prices in Europe were about three times higher than those in the U.S. Prices in Europe tend to be notably higher than those in the U.S. as the latter benefits from being a major hydrocarbon producer. Europe's import reliance European prices for natural gas rose most notable throughout the second half of 2021 and much of 2022, peaking at over ** U.S. dollars per million Btu in August 2022. The sharp rise was due to supply chain issues and economic strain following the COVID-19 pandemic, which was further exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. As a result of the war, many countries began looking for alternative sources, and Russian pipeline gas imports to the European Union declined as a result. Meanwhile, LNG was a great beneficiary, with LNG demand in Europe rising by more than ** percent between 2021 and 2023. How domestic natural gas production shapes prices As intimated, the United States’ position among the leaders of worldwide natural gas production is one of the main reasons for why prices for this commodity are so low across the country. In 2023, the U.S. produced more than ************ cubic meters of natural gas, which allays domestic demand and allows for far lower purchasing prices.

Natural gas prices (US) in , June, 2025 For that commodity indicator, we provide data from January 1960 to June 2025. The average value during that period was 2.41 USD per million British thermal units with a minimum of 0.14 USD per million British thermal units in January 1960 and a maximum of 13.52 USD per million British thermal units in October 2005. | TheGlobalEconomy.com

Average natural gas in the U.S. Henry Hub stood at 2.53 U.S. dollars per million British thermal unit in 2023, a decrease when compared to the previous year. Henry hub natural gas prices peaked in 2008 at 8.85 U.S. dollars per million British thermal unit.

In 2024, the industrial natural gas price in the United States was 3.93 U.S. dollars per thousand cubic feet. This was a decrease compared to the previous year. In 2008, the U.S. price of natural gas for industry peaked at 9.65 U.S. dollars per thousand cubic feet as a result of the Great Recession. Despite the increase in natural gas prices for the industry sector in recent years, natural gas prices for other sectors were much higher. Regional price variations across U.S. hubs Natural gas prices can vary significantly across different regions of the United States. In 2024, the Waha trading hub in the Permian basin recorded the lowest spot prices due to its proximity to productive oil and gas wells and limited pipeline capacity. Meanwhile, the Henry Hub, which serves as the U.S. natural gas benchmark, averaged 2.2 U.S. dollars per million British thermal units in 2024. Looking ahead, forecasts suggest that Henry Hub prices could more than double by 2026, driven by increased demand. Industry natural gas prices around the world Switzerland has some of the highest natural gas prices for the industrial sector. U.S. prices are especially low in comparison to European countries, which rely on imports. U.S. industrial natural gas consumers paid around one fourth of the price paid by Swiss consumers.

In 2024, the price of natural gas in Europe reached 11 constant U.S. dollars per million British thermal units, compared with 2.2 U.S. dollars in the U.S. This was a notable decrease compared to the previous year, which had seen a steep increase in prices due to an energy supply shortage exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine war. Since 1980, natural gas prices have typically been higher in Europe than in the United States and are expected to remain so for the coming two years. This is due to the U.S. being a significantly larger natural gas producer than Europe. What is natural gas and why is it gaining ground in the energy market? Natural gas is commonly burned in power plants with combustion turbines that generate electricity or used as a heating fuel. Given the fact that the world’s energy demand continues to grow, natural gas was seen by some industry leaders as an acceptable "bridge-fuel" to overcome the use of more emission-intensive energy sources such as coal. Subsequently, natural gas has become the main fuel for electricity generation in the U.S., while the global gas power generation share has reached over 22 percent. How domestic production shapes U.S. natural gas prices The combination of hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) and horizontal drilling can be regarded as one of the oil and gas industry’s biggest breakthroughs in decades, with the U.S. being the largest beneficiary. This technology has helped the industry release unprecedented quantities of gas from deposits, mainly shale and tar sands that were previously thought either inaccessible or uneconomic. It is forecast that U.S. shale gas production could reach 36 trillion cubic feet in 2050, up from 1.77 trillion cubic feet in 2000.

Abstract of associated article: This study examines the cointegration between city-gate and residential retail natural gas prices at the U.S. state level using monthly data from 1989:1 to 2012:12. Both price series are tested for unit roots using the Harris (2009) procedure to endogenously identify structural breaks related to deregulation associated with FERC Order No. 636. The endogenously determined structural breaks are then used in the Saikkonen and Lütkepohl (2000a, 2000b, 2000c) maximum likelihood approach to test cointegration of the series. Tests show cointegration of the two price series for all 50 states. Estimates of the long-run relationship in the pre- and post-structural break periods result in mixed evidence about the degree of perfect market integration induced by deregulation, although the magnitude and variation of parameters indicate increased integration. A vector error correction model is used to infer causality in the short and long-run dynamics for the pre and post-structural break periods for each state. The post-break period exhibits bidirectional causality in both short and long-run dynamics for all states, an indication of greater downstream integration of the natural gas market.

Natural gas prices decreased across all major regions in 2024, as supply caught up to higher demand. In Japan, LNG sold for an average of 12.8 nominal U.S. dollars per million British thermal units. Meanwhile, the United States, as the largest natural gas producer worldwide, has significantly lower prices for the fossil fuel. The U.S. has had lower natural gas prices than Europe for much of the past four decades. LNG on the rise LNG is expected to shape much of future natural gas trade. Although pipelines have been the preferred method of transportation for many decades, as Europe shifts away from Russia as its main gas supplier, LNG has become more in demand. The global LNG trade volume has already exceeded 500 billion cubic meters per year, and is expected to continue growing. Countries in Asia have some of the highest landed prices for liquefied natural gas worldwide. Natural gas benchmarks Some of the most closely followed natural gas price benchmarks are the U.S. Henry Hub and the Dutch TTF. The former is an important indicator of the state of the natural gas industry in the U.S., while the latter reflects natural gas market developments in Europe and potential repercussions for consumers.

This paper, which is the first part of a series of papers, introduces a hybrid coal, biomass, and natural gas to liquids (CBGTL) process that can produce transportation fuels in ratios consistent with current U.S. transportation fuel demands. Using the principles of the H2Car process, an almost-100% feedstock carbon conversion is attained using hydrogen produced from a carbon or noncarbon source and the reverse water-gas-shift reaction. Seven novel process alternatives that illustrate the effect of feedstock, hydrogen source, and light gas treatment on the process are considered. A complete process description is presented for each section of the CBGTL process including syngas generation, syngas treatment, hydrocarbon generation, hydrocarbon upgrading, and hydrogen generation. Novel mathematical models for biomass and coal gasification are developed to model the nonequilibrium effluent conditions using a stoichiometry-based method. Input−output relationships are derived for all vapor-phase components, char, and tar through a nonlinear parameter estimation optimization model based on the experimental results of multiple case studies. Two distinct Fischer−Tropsch temperatures and a detailed upgrading section based on a Bechtel design are used to produce the proper effluent composition to correctly match the desired ratio of gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. Steady-state process simulation results based on Aspen Plus are presented for the seven process alternatives with a detailed economic analysis performed using the Aspen Process Economic Analyzer and unit cost functions obtained from literature. Based on the appropriate refinery margins for gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, the price at which the CBGTL process becomes competitive with current petroleum-based processes is calculated. This break-even oil price is derived for all seven process flowsheets, and the sensitivity analysis with respect to hydrogen price, electricity price, and electrolyzer capital cost, is presented.
