```htmlThe Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) stated on the 20th that global natural gas demand is expected to reach over 91 million barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2050, an increase of more than 19 million barrels of oil equivalent compared to 2025. OPEC pointed out that natural gas will further consolidate its long-term position in the global primary energy mix, mainly replacing coal and supporting intermittent renewable energy in power generation. The demand growth mainly comes from non-OECD regions, driven by increased gas-fired power generation, expanded use of gas in the petrochemical industry, and rising demand in the residential sector. Meanwhile, OECD natural gas demand is expected to remain stable and decline slightly after 2040 due to improvements in energy efficiency and stricter emission policies. (CCTV)```
