LNG Supply Crisis Pushes Buyers Toward Coal and Oil

The global liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply crisis has led to a surge in demand for coal and oil, as buyers seek alternative energy sources. The crisis has been exacerbated by the resumption of the Iran conflict and the effective closures of key shipping routes. The Strait of Hormuz and the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb have been closed, leading to a shortage of LNG shipments from key Middle East producers. As a result, buyers are turning to coal and oil as alternative energy sources. The demand for coal and oil is expected to increase in the coming months, as the LNG supply crisis continues.
