Energy Risk Asia Awards 2025: The winners Winning firms showcase the value of prudent risk management amid challenging market conditions Geopolitical upheaval, global supply constraints and economic uncertainty created challenging conditions for energy and commodity firms in Asia over the past 12 months. This was especially true in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) markets where so many moving parts impact supply, demand and pricing. LNG trade expanded globally last year with Asia-Pacific remaining the dominant LNG-exporting region, increasing output by 4.1 tonnes (t) to 138.91t – out of a global 411.24t – according to the 2025 World LNG Report issued by the International Gas Union. Asia also led the way when it came to gas demand growth, with China registering demand growth of 7% and India’s demand growth hitting 10% in 2024 compared to a global average of 2.4%, as reported by the International Energy Agency. Meanwhile, prices for Asia’s Platts Japan Korea Marker (JKM) LNG benchmark contract fell during 2024, dropping as low as $8.30 per million British thermal units (/MMBtu) in early March but recovering mid-year to reach over $14/MMBtu by late November as demand from China and India ramped up. The overall trend for the year was lower, with JKM averaging $11.91/MMBtu – a significant decrease from the previous two years of $13.78/MMBtu in 2023 and $33.98/MMBtu in 2022. Oil prices also remained fairly range-bound in 2024 with a slight downward trajectory, while base metals prices, especially copper and aluminium, saw volatility and price dislocations in Asia from the US. In this era of increased uncertainty, risk management skills are more important than ever. This year’s Energy Risk Asia award-winners have all demonstrated best practices in risk management, whether that be through execution services, advisory, research and analysis or technology. With commodities markets at the intersection of many trends, including increased geopolitical risk, long-term climate risk and advancing technology, award-winners need to demonstrate not only optimal risk mitigation skills but also creativity and innovation in adapting to change and grasping new opportunities. Taken together, our winners showcase some of the very best in innovative thinking that is not only helping firms protect their revenues from the vagaries of market prices but also shaping energy markets across Asia.
