Uniper's chief commercial officer for gas and LNG told Platts that Europe is not expected to face physical gas or LNG shortages this winter, though supply is tight. He said the main risk is price, with spot LNG prices at their highest since December 2022 amid Middle East war disruptions.
European storage is reported at its lowest fill level on record for this point in the year.
Physical supply adequacy limits the chance of acute shortage, but elevated spot LNG prices keep European gas costs high, which supports feed-cost pressure through energy-linked inputs and fertiliser production.
