Erdgaspreise steigen auf Rekordniveau

By Phil Bainbridge

September 20, 2021 - Ein langer, Kalter Winter leert die Lager, eine Hitzewelle im Sommer mit wenig starkem Wind, Hurrikane in den US und eingeschränkte Gaslieferungen aus Russland führten insgesamt zu einem gefährlichen Anstieg der Gaspreise.

Post-pandemic economic recovery, particularly in Asia, has increased demand and competition for scarce supplies. Gas supplies around a fifth of Europe’s electricity and Europe is facing a growing price crunch for energy, with smaller suppliers committed to fixed price deals going bust and food supplies threatened by the shortage of carbon dioxide, used for everything from frozen goods, in the form of dry ice, to animal slaughter.
