It is a complex issue. Usually gas is extracted as a byproduct of coal or even oil. No coal being extracted, no gas. No supply, big demand. Prices go up.

Also gas tankers have waited for years on the sea without entering port because of COVID. Lots of companies have gone under and the supply has been disrupted.

It takes months for a gas tanker to move and global transport right now is chaos.
