Thank you to Fatema Alnuaimi and @ADNOCGas for hosting the @ADIPECOfficial Exhibition and Conference 2026 Leadership Roundtable on the long-term opportunity for natural gas and LNG, and to @websterdrake of @BCG for moderating.
My four points take on the table 🧵👇
4. LNG bears this out. Its share of international gas trade has risen from 20% in 2000 to 43% in 2024, with volumes set to grow from around 600 bcm to 800 bcm by 2031.

Higher shipping costs account for an estimated 70% of the rise in global inflation since February 2026, and around 40% in advanced economies.
Christof van Agt Ross, IEF Director of Energy Dialogue, presented this finding at the Joint IEA-IEF-OPEC Technical Workshop on the Security of Energy Flows on 4 November.
IEF analysis across 150 economies shows average global headline inflation rising from 3.9% in February to 4.8% in September. Higher shipping costs added an estimated 0.6 percentage points of that increase. In advanced economies, inflation rose from 2.1% to 3.4%, with shipping contributing around 0.5 points.
The growing impact of freight costs on consumer prices underline the importance of secure maritime routes and resilient supply chains.

"Energy security is a shared responsibility that cannot be achieved in isolation."
@ief_sg Jassim Alshirawi reflects on IEF17 in Riyadh: the value of producer-consumer dialogue, and the contributions of governments, industry, experts and partner organisations to its success.

It was a particular pleasure to welcome H.E. Radamés Gómez Azuaje, Vice Minister of Geopolitics of Hydrocarbons of the Bolivarian Republic of #Venezuela, and H.E. Ambassador David Velásquez Caraballo, to IEF Headquarters following #IEF17.
That founding vision remains as relevant as ever: bringing different perspectives together, building trust and providing greater clarity in an increasingly complex energy world.
We look forward to continued engagement with Venezuela and appreciate their ongoing commitment to strengthening the dialogue, deepening mutual understanding and improving global energy security.

The energy priorities of island economies are an important part of the global energy conversation, particularly where security of supply, affordability and resilience intersect.
@IEF_Dialogue provides a platform for countries with different circumstances and priorities to exchange perspectives, deepen understanding and identify shared interests. Continued engagement is essential to build the clarity and confidence that global energy cooperation requires.
@IEF_Dialogue is committed to bringing these perspectives to the table, fostering greater understanding of different energy realities and maintaining the dialogue needed to advance shared energy security goals.
