**Greek Imports of Producer Gas Rise Amid EU Energy Drought**
**Increased demand for industrial fuel drives Greek imports**
• Greece’s imports of coal gas surged 12.4% year-over-year in May to 45,000 metric tons.
• The increase follows a 15-month low in April and marks the highest level since December 2022.
• Prices for coal gas remained steady at $220 per metric ton.
Greece’s industrial sector has been driving up demand for producer gas, leading to higher imports as the country struggles with a severe energy drought. The EU’s efforts to reduce reliance on Russian fossil fuels have also boosted Greek consumption of domestic and imported coal gas. Analysts expect this trend to continue through the summer months due to peak industry demand.
