About Dutch TTF Natural Gas
What is TTF?
TTF (Title Transfer Facility) is a virtual trading point for natural gas in the Netherlands. It has become the main European gas benchmark, serving as the price reference for most European gas contracts. TTF is operated by Gasunie Transport Services.
Since the 2022 energy crisis, TTF has gained even more importance as Europe reduced Russian pipeline gas imports and increased LNG imports.
TTF vs Henry Hub
- TTF: European benchmark, EUR/MWh, higher prices
- Henry Hub: US benchmark, USD/MMBtu, lower prices
- Conversion: 1 MWh = 3.412 MMBtu approximately
- API: We provide both in a single API call
European Gas Supply Landscape
Europe's gas supply mix has fundamentally shifted since 2022. Russian pipeline gas, which once supplied ~40% of EU demand, has dropped below 15%. This has made TTF prices more sensitive to LNG spot prices, Norwegian pipeline flows, and seasonal storage cycles.
LNG Imports
Europe now imports ~120+ bcm/year of LNG, competing with Asia-Pacific buyers. US Gulf Coast and Qatar are the largest suppliers, with prices linked to JKM and Henry Hub.
Pipeline Flows
Norwegian pipeline gas (~100 bcm/year) is now Europe's largest single pipeline source. Maintenance shutdowns at Norwegian fields cause immediate TTF price spikes.
Storage Levels
EU gas storage must reach 90% by November 1st (EU regulation). Storage fill rates during spring/summer injection season drive TTF forward curves and seasonal spreads.
TTF vs NBP vs Henry Hub — Gas Benchmark Comparison
| Feature | TTF (Dutch) | NBP (UK) | Henry Hub (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Region | Europe (primary) | United Kingdom | North America |
| Currency/Unit | EUR/MWh | GBP/therm | USD/MMBtu |
| Liquidity | Highest in Europe | Declining (TTF replacing) | Highest globally |
| Price Level | Higher (import dependent) | Similar to TTF | Lower (domestic production) |
| Volatility | High (geopolitical risk) | Moderate | Lower (shale supply buffer) |
| API Code | DUTCH_TTF_EUR | NATURAL_GAS_GBP | NATURAL_GAS_USD |

TTF Seasonal Price Patterns
European gas prices follow strong seasonal cycles driven by heating demand and storage injection/withdrawal.
Winter (Dec-Feb)
Peak Prices
Heating demand + storage withdrawals drive prices to yearly highs
Spring (Mar-May)
Declining
Lower heating demand; injection season begins; prices moderate
Summer (Jun-Aug)
Seasonal Low
High storage injection; LNG cargoes directed to Europe; lowest prices
Autumn (Sep-Nov)
Rising
Storage targets due Nov 1; early heating demand; forward prices climb

What Drives TTF Gas Prices?
Bullish Factors
- Cold European winter increasing heating demand
- Asian LNG demand competing for cargoes
- Low storage levels entering winter
- Pipeline supply disruptions
Bearish Factors
- Mild winter weather reducing demand
- High renewable generation (less gas-fired power)
- High storage levels ahead of winter
- Increased LNG import capacity
Frequently Asked Questions About TTF Gas Prices
What is the TTF gas price today?
The TTF gas price today is EUR 61.39 per MWh, updated 0 minutes ago. TTF (Title Transfer Facility) is the main European natural gas benchmark, traded on the Dutch virtual hub.
What is Dutch TTF natural gas?
Dutch TTF (Title Transfer Facility) is Europe's primary natural gas benchmark. Located in the Netherlands, it serves as the pricing reference for most European gas contracts. TTF has largely replaced the UK's NBP as the most liquid European gas trading hub.
How is TTF different from Henry Hub?
TTF is the European benchmark (EUR/MWh) while Henry Hub is the US benchmark (USD/MMBtu). TTF prices are typically 2-4x higher than Henry Hub due to European import dependency and transportation costs. Our API provides both benchmarks for easy comparison.
Why is TTF gas price important?
TTF gas price is the reference for most European gas contracts, affecting electricity prices, industrial costs, and heating bills across Europe. Energy traders, utilities, and businesses managing European energy costs all rely on TTF as their primary benchmark. Track it alongside Henry Hub for a complete global gas picture.
What affects TTF gas prices?
TTF prices are driven by: LNG imports to Europe, Russian pipeline flows, EU storage levels, weather-driven heating demand, renewable generation (which reduces gas-for-power demand), and global LNG competition from Asian JKM markets. Norwegian pipeline maintenance schedules can cause sudden price spikes.
How do I convert TTF to USD?
Our API provides both DUTCH_TTF_EUR (native euro pricing) and DUTCH_TTF_USD (converted to US dollars). We also provide EUR_USD exchange rates for custom conversions.

The Title Transfer Facility is a virtual natural gas trading point within the Dutch transmission grid: gas changes ownership on paper while sitting anywhere in the network, with no physical hub. Created in 2003 and operated by Gasunie Transport Services, TTF has become the price reference for European gas, representing on the order of four-fifths of European traded gas volume. This page serves the TTF price in euros per megawatt-hour, assembled from multiple sources.
Why TTF became the European benchmark
Europe's gas trade consolidated on TTF rather than Britain's NBP primarily through liquidity: continental interconnection, LNG import flows and network effects concentrated trading until TTF's churn ran an order of magnitude above NBP's. Futures trade on ICE Endex, quoted in EUR/MWh with delivery at the virtual point. When commentary cites 'the European gas price', it is almost always front-month TTF.
Scale of the instrument's volatility, for calibration: during the 2022 supply crisis, front-month TTF exceeded 300 euros per megawatt-hour in late August 2022 - roughly ten times pre-crisis levels. Published records of the exact intraday peak differ by venue and product, so we state the threshold rather than a single unqualified number.
The units trap
TTF is quoted in euros per megawatt-hour; Henry Hub in dollars per million British thermal units. One megawatt-hour equals 3.412 million British thermal units, so a TTF-to-Henry-Hub comparison requires both an energy-unit conversion and a currency conversion. A surprising fraction of published gas-price comparisons silently omit one of the two. Any spread you compute across the Atlantic should state its conversion explicitly.
The TTF minus Henry Hub spread, correctly converted, is the core economics of US LNG exports: liquefaction and shipping cost several dollars per million British thermal units, and the spread relative to that cost governs whether marginal US cargoes point to Europe.
What this series is
This page serves a spot-basis TTF value assembled from several concurrent sources of differing cadence. As with all multi-source series on this site, inter-source spread is monitored as a quality signal rather than averaged away. For contract-month analysis, the TTF futures codes carry each delivery month separately.
Dutch TTF Gas FAQ
Why is TTF the benchmark instead of the British NBP?
Liquidity. Continental interconnection and LNG import volumes concentrated trading at TTF until its traded volume ran far above NBP's. Benchmarks follow liquidity: once most volume clears at one point, its price becomes the reference everyone hedges against.
