            <description><![CDATA[South Africa’s government has resolved the country’s recurring power outages and is racing to fix its crumbling water infrastructure. But, business leaders warn, it’s sleepwalking into another crisis — a “gas cliff.” Combined, glassmakers, tile manufacturers, food processors and other industries that rely on gas account for 8% of the economy and 700 billion rand ($43 billion) in annual economic output, and provide 75 000 jobs. Almost all of their needs are currently supplied by Sasol, the country’s biggest petrochemicals company, from its fields in central Mozambique.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Global coal demand is forecast to rise by 1.2% in 2026 to a record 8.94-billion tonnes due to the Middle East conflict, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Thursday.

Disruptions to oil and liquefied natural gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz since the US-Iran war started have driven up prices and encouraged higher electricity generation from coal in countries that have gas-fired power fleets and spare coal capacity, the IEA added in an update on the coal sector.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[To strengthen energy access and security in northern Nigeria, US government agency, the US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) is supporting the deployment of US liquefied natural gas (LNG) technology. On July 7, 2026, the USTDA announced an agreement with Nigerian energy company Powergas Nigeria to fund a feasibility study for a small-scale LNG plant that will deliver a reliable energy source to northern Nigeria’s industrial sector and remote communities, positioning US companies to supply “cutting-edge LNG infrastructure”.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[South Africa is facing two parallel cliffs, the ‘Gas Cliff’ and the ‘Power Cliff’, as by the 2030s a majority of State-owned power utility Eskom’s fleet generation will be 50 years old and either decommissioned or nearing decommissioning, says financial services provider Standard Bank gas sector lead Paul Eardley-Taylor. The ‘Gas Cliff’, Eardley-Taylor notes, pertains to the organic expiry of chemicals and energy company Sasol’s sales to third parties of natural gas and methane rich gas.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[South Africa’s response to the gas-supply cliff, which will arise as supply to industrial users from Mozambique falls away later this decade, should be treated separately from the country’s moves to shore-up electricity supply as coal stations are decommissioned, because conflating the two will result in sub-optimal outcomes. This argument, which runs counter to the prevailing policy response, is being advanced by Naimon Capital executive director Roland Tatnall, who has 25 years of experience across the energy value chain, including as Exxaro’s one-time energy MD, as well as as an investor and adviser.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The world’s gas consumption is forecast to drop for the third time in seven years, even as liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply from producers in other regions helps offset losses in the Middle East, the International Energy Agency’s (IEA’s) gas market report for the third quarter indicates. The impacts of the war in the Middle East continue to reshape the global natural gas market, with tighter supply and elevated prices weighing on demand in key markets.]]></description>

The shift marks the first time since July 2024 that Europe has not taken the majority of monthly US exports of LNG. European buyers, who still need to refill storage ahead of the next winter season, have been waiting for better prices.]]></description>
