About this data
Methodology: pricesDefinitions1
- Natural gas, U.S.
- Natural gas (U.S.), spot price at Henry Hub, Louisiana. Monthly average of the World Bank benchmark, as published.

Notes5
- That is 0.7% lower than in September 2025 (2.97 USD/mmbtu).
- The 2025 (estimate) annual average published in the Pink Sheet was 3.53 USD/mmbtu.
- Benchmarks as published by the World Bank (monthly averages). FertRadar does not publish price assessments or forecasts.
- Benchmarks differ in location and delivery terms; a customs unit value is an annual average of declared values, not a market price.
- Customs unit values average the contract prices of a whole year, so they lag spot benchmarks when markets move fast (2008-2009, 2021-2023).
