Consumption (or domestic supply) is the balance of production, external trade and stock changes.

Natural gas is mainly made of methane (CH4). It is marketed after separation of the liquid fractions. The calorific power of natural gas varies according to its methane concentration. The standard coefficient used by ENERDATA is: 0.82 toe/m3, for important countries national coefficients are used.

Natural gas domestic consumption

Gas consumption development was largely impacted by the economic crisis

Consumption of gas faced the largest reduction among the energy sources at the world level in 2009, with a sharp drop by 3.3%

Gas consumption primarily decreased in OECD countries

, from 1.7% in the USA, the world's largest consumer, up to 6.8% in Japan. In the USA consumption drop despite the high decrease of natural gas prices (from 8 to 4 $/Mbtu) induced by shale gas development. The

European gas consumption was scaled down dramatically by 6.2%

In Russia, gas consumption

was cut down by more than 11% despite its very low prices. Conversely, gas demand continued to develop rapidly in Asia (2.6%), fueled by both the Indian consumption which soared by 25% and the Chinese needs which continued to rise at a strong pace (10%/year). The Middle East's consumption growth slowed down from 9% in 2008 to 2.4% in 2009.
