2025 World Gas Report
Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade grew by 2.4% in 2024 to 411.24 million tonnes (MT), connecting 22 exporting markets with 48 importing markets. Asia Pacific remained the largest exporting region with 138.91 MT in 2024, adding 4.10 MT over 2023.
European LNG imports declined sharply, falling 21.22 MT year-on-year to 100.07 MT, driven by high storage levels at the start of the year, sluggish demand, and steady pipeline flows. However, LNG demand rebounded in Asia, with China and India posting strong year-on-year growth in spot LNG imports, driven by heatwaves, infrastructure expansions, and greater reliance on gas-for-power.
The global LNG liquefaction capacity grew by 6.5 million tonn

APERC Gas Report 2024
In 2023, global gas demand grew modestly for the second consecutive year, increasing by 0.6% year on-year. This limited growth was mainly due to reduced demand in Europe, as OECD Europe adjusted its energy consumption patterns and supply sources to reduce reliance on Russian natural gas, alongside high gas prices in the international market that impacted Europe’s and the global gas consumption.

How can CCUS Decarbonise India’s Industrial Sector?
This study assesses the role and potential of carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) in decarbonising the Indian steel and cement sector, by deliberating on techno-economic and policy dimensions of green hydrogen-based CCU applications for producing value-added fuels and chemicals. The study considers products such as olefins, synthetic natural gas (SNG), sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), dimethyl ether (DME), ethanol, methanol, and urea.

World Economic Situation and Prospects as of mid-2025
The world economy is at a precarious moment. Heightened trade tensions, along with policy uncertainty, have significantly weakened the global economic outlook for 2025. Higher tariffs—resulting in a significant increase in the effective tariff rate in the United States of America—are likely to strain global supply chains, drive up production costs and delay critical investment decisions, while also contributing to financial market volatility.

From incentives to adoption: A decadal review of India's EV subsidy effectiveness
India is committed to reducing the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030 from 2005 levels, and achieving net zero emissions by 2070, as part of its Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement. Achieving these goals requires a fundamental shift across sectors, with the transportation sector—accounting for approximately 14% of India’s energy sector carbon dioxide emissions—being critical for decarbonisation.

Green Technologies: Decarbonizing Development in East Asia and Pacific
The East Asia and Pacific region is helping the world decarbonize and is encouraging the domestic adoption of renewables. But there is an imbalance: while the region’s innovation and investment improve global access to green technologies, its own emissions continue to grow because of the reluctance to penalize carbon-intensive practices.

Just Transition Policies - Lessons from Europe
The EU’s concept of a just transition revolves around a territorial approach considerably involving regions. Part of the EU’s Green Deal, the Just Transition Mechanism intends to support EU regions that are the most affected by the transition to a climate neutral economy, following the imperative of leaving no one behind. Subnational authorities thus have a key role to play in addressing the socioeconomic impacts of the transition, as they can tailor climate policies to the local context.

Laying the Ground for Scaling up Climate Finance in Sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces growing climate vulnerability, with rising temperatures and extreme weather threatening agriculture, food security, and economic growth. These challenges worsen poverty, fiscal constraints, and limited human capital investment. To address these risks, SSA countries need to scale up green investments while ensuring debt sustainability.

Supply Chain Diversification and Resilience
This paper develops a new multi-country and multi-sector general equilibrium trade model to analyze extent to which the diversification of sources of imports mitigates the impact of adverse trade shocks. The model incorporates trade network rigidities arising from frictions in goods, labor, and local factor markets.

Unlocking gas-to-power with life cycle greenhouse gas emissions as low as renewables
Dispatchability means that natural gas will continue to play an important role in global electricity generation if greenhouse gas emissions are mitigated. This Energy Insight evaluated lifecycle emissions from gas power plants with carbon capture and storage and shows that they can be comparable to wind and solar.

러시아 ‘에너지 전략 2050’의 주요 내용과 시사점
러시아 정부는 2022년 러시아와 우크라이나 간 전쟁 발발 이후, 서방의 대러시아 제재와 러시아-유럽연합 간 에너지 관계의 붕괴라는 변화된 국제 정세 속에서 새로운 에너지 전략의 필요성을 인식하게 되었다. 이러한 배경 속에서 러시아는 2025년 4월 12일, ‘에너지 전략 2050’을 공식적으로 채택하였다.
‘에너지 전략 2050’은 석유, 천연가스, 석유화학, 석탄, 신재생에너지(원자력, 수력, 수소, 풍력 등), 전력 및 난방 부문을 모두 포괄하는 러시아 에너지 부문의 최상위 종합 전략으로, 단순한 에너지 계획을 넘어 에너지, 기후, 기술을 아우르는 통합 전략으로 평가된다. 특히 이 전략은 러시아가 기술주권을 확보하려는 의지를 반영하고 있으며, 아시아 국가들과 글로벌 사우스(개발도상국)와의 경제 협력을 강화하려는 정책적 방향성을 더욱 뚜렷이 담고 있는 것으로 보인다.

시민 실천 중심 '서울형 자발적 탄소시장' 도입방안
탄소중립을 달성하려면 정부의 제도 전환뿐 아니라 시민의 자발적 실천이 중요하다. 정부와 서울시는 다회용기, 에너지 절약, 대중교통 이용 등에 인센티브를 제공하며 시민 참여를 유도하고 있다. 동시에 글로벌 ESG 경영과 온실가스 감축 필요성에 따라 자발적 탄소시장(VCM)이 부각되고 있다. 해외에서는 Verra, GS 등 인증기관이 크레딧을 발급하며 시장을 이끌고 있으며, 국내에서도 POPLE, 아오라 등의 플랫폼과 민간 인증기관이 등장하며 기반이 형성되고 있다.

트럼프 2기 환경정책 변화와 지속가능금융 시장의 영향
트럼프 2기 행정부는 2025년 1월 출범과 함께 바이든 정부 시절의 친환경 정책들을 급격히 전환했다. 대외적으로는 파리협정 탈퇴 및 국제 기후이니셔티브 지원 중단 등을 통해 기후변화 대응에 대한 국제 공조를 약화시키고 있다. 국내적으로는 화석연료 산업 보호 강화, ESG 투자 제한, SEC의 기후위험 공시 의무화 철회 등을 통해 녹색전환 흐름을 저해하고 있다

트럼프 행정부 출범 100일, 무역 정책 추진 동향 및 시사점
트럼프 행정부는 미국 우선주의 기조 아래 글로벌 무역 시스템 재편을 본격 추진하고 있다. 취임 후 100일간 129건에 달하는 행정명령을 발표하며, 무역정책을 포함한 주요 경제정책을 신속히 집행했다. 제조업 리쇼어링, 공급망 재편, 에너지 자립 등을 골자로 하는 미국 중심의 경제 구조 재편을 목표로 삼았다. 특히, 전통 제조업 부활과 대중 무역 불균형 해소를 최우선 과제로 설정하며 관세 부과와 제재를 통해 통상 압박에 나섰다. 관세 조치 이후 미국 내외에서 다양한 우려와 비판이 제기됐다. 미국 경제 성장 둔화, 글로벌 공급망 충격, 소비자 물가 상승 등의 부작용 가능성이 지적되고 있다. 이에 본 보고서는 트럼프 정부 출범 후 100일간의 무역 정책 추진 동향을 분석하고, 우리 기업 및 수출에 미치는 영향을 점검하고자 한다.
