What Cedigaz does

Cedigaz (legally "CEDIGAZ, Not for profit Association") is an international, not-for-profit association founded in 1961 and headquartered at 1–4 Avenue de Bois-Préau in Rueil-Malmaison, France, created jointly by a coalition of international gas companies and IFP Energies nouvelles to deliver authoritative market data and analysis on natural and renewable gases.

The organization's core technology is a curated data and market-intelligence platform consisting of approximately ten interlinked proprietary databases covering gas reserves, production, trade flows, infrastructure (including LNG liquefaction/regasification terminals and underground gas storage), long-term pipeline and LNG supply contracts, and emerging renewable gas segments (biomethane and hydrogen) across 120+ countries, supported by annual statistical reports, thematic studies, a daily online news selection, bi-weekly Conventional (CNR) and Unconventional Gas (Ugas) digests, and the annual CEDIGAZ Seminar.

Cedigaz monetizes this asset base through two revenue streams: (i) recurring annual membership subscriptions, sold in two tiers — Standard (Company at €7,970, Group at €11,260) and Premium LNG (Company at €12,870, Group at €16,170) — providing differentiated database, report, and news access to corporate and institutional members; and (ii) one-off publication sales through its e-shop (€150–€9,950 per report), with members receiving preferential pricing. Its stated member base spans around 40 countries and is composed of leading IOCs and NOCs, banks, consultants (27% of members), engineering firms, equipment suppliers, and government/regulatory bodies (with energy companies representing 47% of members), reached primarily via direct, digital channels (website, e-shop, members area, email, and a Twitter presence at @Cedigaz_SG).

Emerging players

• Baringa Partners: Baringa Partners is an independent consultancy with a strong European energy practice covering gas, LNG, and energy transition analytics. It overlaps with Cedigaz's energy company and consultant buyer base, though its primary delivery is bespoke advisory rather than subscription databases.

Direct peers

• BloombergNEF (BNEF): BloombergNEF is a subscription energy research and data provider covering natural gas, LNG, hydrogen, biomethane, and the broader energy transition. It serves overlapping enterprise, financial, and policy clients as Cedigaz, and has a particularly strong overlap on hydrogen and biomethane coverage.
• IHS Markit (now S&P Global): IHS Markit's energy information and consulting business (now integrated into S&P Global) historically provided subscription natural gas and energy market data and analytics. It competes directly with Cedigaz on enterprise subscriptions covering gas supply, demand, infrastructure, and contracts.
• Wood Mackenzie: Wood Mackenzie is a global commercial energy research and consultancy firm selling subscription intelligence, data, and advisory across oil, gas, LNG, and renewables. It directly competes with Cedigaz for the same corporate budget on natural gas market intelligence, only with a much broader commodity and analytics footprint.
• S&P Global Commodity Insights (Platts): S&P Global Commodity Insights (including the Platts brand) is a leading subscription-based price assessment and analytics provider covering natural gas, LNG, and energy markets globally. It overlaps directly with Cedigaz's core databases, assessments, and news service, while also offering broader commodity coverage and real-time pricing.
• Rystad Energy: Rystad Energy is an independent commercial energy research company providing global datasets and analytics across upstream, midstream, LNG, and renewables. It targets the same corporate, financial, and government buyer base as Cedigaz and competes on subscription natural-gas and LNG intelligence.

Others

• ENTSOG (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas): ENTSOG publishes European gas transmission, capacity, and flow data covering pipeline infrastructure across the EU. It is an adjacent, infrastructure-focused data provider in the same natural-gas ecosystem, frequently used alongside Cedigaz's cross-border trade and contract databases.
• Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF): GECF is an intergovernmental organization of major gas exporters producing global gas market outlooks and statistics. It is comparable as a peer international gas-information body and an alternative source of supply-demand data for the same buyers Cedigaz serves, particularly in the LNG and long-term contract space.
• Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE): GIE aggregates operational data on European gas storage, LNG terminals, and transmission infrastructure. It is thematically adjacent to Cedigaz's Underground Gas Storage and LNG infrastructure databases, serving similar infrastructure and policy stakeholders in Europe.

Broad incumbents

• International Energy Agency (IEA): The IEA is the leading intergovernmental energy data and policy organization publishing global gas, LNG, hydrogen, and renewable gas statistics and outlooks. While it is not a commercial subscription business in the same way as Cedigaz, it competes for the same policy and analytical mind-share and its freely available datasets shape buyer expectations of Cedigaz's paid content.
