The data is published under CC BY 4.0, commercial use included. Credit StatOrigin and the original publisher (IEA); the chart files already carry that line.

Figures are facts read from the publishers' own documents. The documents themselves, their text and design, stay under each publisher's terms; follow the source links for those.
How this measure is built
- Definition
- The year-on-year percentage change in total natural gas demand.
- Measure
- One slice of Natural gas consumption ( form: growth ) . Total volume or energy content of natural gas consumed across end-use sectors. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Publishers release on different schedules, so the latest period differs by region; compare regions on the same period. 7 figures are projections, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
