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.

This table shows the average prices paid for natural gas and electricity. The total prices represent the sum of energy supply prices and network prices.

That same year, natural gas accounted for around **** percent of global primary energy consumption, marking the lowest share since 2017. This downward trend in natural gas's share of the energy mix is attributed to a surge in natural gas prices and supply constraints between 2022 and 2023, in addition to greater electrification efforts. Natural gas in national energy landscapes The role of natural gas varies significantly across countries, with some countries heavily dependent on this fuel source. Trinidad and Tobago, for instance, derives nearly ** percent of its energy from natural gas, while Iran relies on it for about ** percent of its primary energy needs.
