Looking at behind-the-meter, Australia was the biggest residential storage market in the world in 2017, with a tripling of residential storage deployments over the previous year. High retail electricity rates and diminishing or expiring feed-in tariffs have encouraged residential solar customers to choose storage for self-consumption benefits. As a result, over the past few years, Australia has been the preferred testbed for new residential energy storage products, as several technology vendors have first introduced their residential product portfolios in the country.
In contrast to the 2018 GSOO released today by the AEMO, Wood Mackenzie’s East Coast Gas report identifies a potential gas shortfall between 2023 and 2025, significantly earlier to the GSOO’s estimate of 2030.
Following China's imposition of retaliatory tariffs on US goods over the weekend, our experts weigh in on the potential impact the move will have on different commodities.
Wood Mackenzie estimates LNG trucking capacity in China to double to 38 million tonnes (mt) by 2025. China is the world's largest LNG trucking market. In 2017, 19 mt of LNG was transported via tanker truck from domestic liquefaction plants and LNG import terminals to downstream markets. This volume accounts for 12% of total gas consumption.
Commenting on the announcement that Centrica and Tokyo Gas have signed a heads of agreement for LNG procurement, Giles Farrer, Wood Mackenzie Research Director, said:
Wood Mackenzie's short-term global gas and LNG outlook (Q2 2018) sees the market rebalancing as it moves from oversupply, although the global natural resources consultancy believes prices will remain relatively sustained into 2019.
In a recent study, Wood Mackenzie forecasts Australia's East Coast gas prices to rise up to 30 percent to between A$10 and A$13 /per gigajoule by the mid 2020s.
As previously forecasted by Wood Mackenzie, 2017 saw a significant recovery in upstream FIDs, with the number of project sanctions more than doubled compared to 2016. Wood Mackenzie expects a similar total this year - circa 30 major project FIDs - supported by continued prudence in industry spending.
A new cap on production from the Netherlands' giant Groningen gas field may have an impact on the security of Europe's gas supply, hurt Dutch treasury receipts and prompt a reassessment of the field's remaining value.
China's introduction of the '2+26' cities policy earlier this year calls for restricted use of coal for both residential heating and industrial purposes. This has significant ramifications for the Chinese winter season where demand is traditionally high. As an alternative to coal, gas demand could rise by 23 bcm this year compared to previous winters. Facing the most severe shortages is northern China, particularly Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei (abbreviated as BTH), where demand is highly seasonal. This region will make up half or 10 bcm of the incremental winter gas demand in 2017.
The Trump administration has been championing US energy exports as its preferred instrument for narrowing its trade deficit in the wake of the US shale boom. A combination of rising export capacity in the US, LNG import demand growth in China, and political cheerleading has underpinned an uptick in LNG exports to China this year via third party, spot trades. Will Trump's trip to Beijing seal the deal for some major LNG deals?
Major eastern Australian gas buyer AGL has proposed to use a leased Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), approximately 65km south of Melbourne, to import LNG and ease domestic gas shortage issues. This solution has faced mixed reviews given the already available domestic options, mainly the CSG-LNG projects in Queensland.
