Oil Demand, Refining Growth to Peak in 2035

time: 2018-10-12
On Monday, China’s Unipec said that world oil demand “will peak at 104.4 million barrels per day (bpd) in the mid-2030s, up from just below 100 million bpd currently, as new technologies gradually eat into oil use,” Reuters reports.

“Improved energy efficiency and technological changes, including the rise of renewables, meant global oil demand growth would slow in coming years before peaking in 2035, Unipec President Chen Bo told the annual Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference (APPEC).”
