Henry Hub, a pipeline junction in Louisiana, is the U.S. natural gas benchmark, priced in dollars per million British thermal units (MMBtu). It sets the reference for gas used in heating, power generation, and as a feedstock.
For fuel operators, gas matters as a cost input and a substitute. It drives refinery and petrochemical operating costs, and it tracks alongside propane, which competes with heating oil through the winter.
Frequently asked
What is the Henry Hub natural gas price now?
The value above is the latest delayed Henry Hub front-month futures price in dollars per MMBtu.
What is an MMBtu?
An MMBtu is one million British thermal units, a measure of energy content. Natural gas is priced per MMBtu rather than per gallon because it is sold by energy, not volume.
Why does natural gas matter for fuel buyers?
Gas is a major operating cost for refineries and a competing heating fuel against propane and heating oil, so its price feeds into both production costs and winter demand.
