The natural gas industry is a crucial component of the global energy market, with significant investment opportunities. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), natural gas demand is projected to grow due to its role as a transition fuel in the move towards cleaner energy sources. The industry saw $250 billion in deals in 2023 alone, highlighting its lucrative potential for investors and developers.
