Shell's 2026 LNG Outlook highlights a potential global supply shortfall starting around 2037 due to disruptions like the Strait of Hormuz incident and underinvestment in infrastructure. The report warns of flat or negative LNG trade growth in 2026, the first contraction in over a decade, causing price spikes and market strain. Long-term demand is expected to rise 65% by 2050, mainly driven by Asia, creating a significant supply gap that could reach 100-300 million tons per annum by mid-century.

Shell urges policymakers to ensure stable regulations and sustained investment to avoid a worsening supply crisis and rising geopolitical risks.
