By 2035, the IEA estimates that world coal
consumption needs to fall
by 30 percent from current levels, while global oil usage will have to drop by 12 percen
by 30 percent from current levels, while
global oil usage will have to drop
by 12 percen
by 12 percent.
The paper's authors apply a simple model of the world
oil market to reach their conclusions, which are driven
by the potential for the pipeline to increase
global oil supply, thus lowering
oil prices and increasing
consumption.
Global coal
consumption grew
by just 0.4 % (15 million tonnes
oil equivalent or Mtoe)-- its slowest rate since the Asian crisis in 1998 — while production fell
by 0.7 % or 28 Mtoe.
To get a sense of the enormity of that task, consider calculations from the International Energy Agency that show
global oil consumption will need to fall to 80 million barrels a day
by 2035 if we're to limit atmospheric carbon to 450 parts per million.
The increases imposed on the price of crude
oil by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) since 1973 show how
global consumption can change.
For every barrel of extra
oil obtained from tar sands as a result of the pipeline,
global oil consumption would increase
by 0.6 barrels, because the extra
oil would lower
oil prices and encourage people to use more.
Global natural gas
consumption grew
by 2.2 percent to 2,987 million tons of
oil equivalent (mtoe) in 2012 — more than triple the
consumption recording in 1970, according to the report.
Although the growth rate of coal slows from the breakneck pace of the last decade,
global coal
consumption by 2017 stands at 4.32 billion tonnes of
oil equivalent (btoe), versus around 4.40 btoe for
oil, based on IEA medium - term projections.
If the current strong growth of plastics usage continues as expected, the plastics sector will account for 20 % of total
oil consumption and 15 % of the
global annual carbon budget
by 2050.
Here are recent statements
by vocal media impressarios and think tanks who spend their time, not in a laboratory, but in the popular media trying to convince the public that
global warming is either not happening, or is not caused
by our continued
consumption of fossil fuels (
oil, coal, gas etc).
Powerful impetus from other sectors is enough to keep
oil demand on a rising trajectory to 105 mb / d
by 2040:
oil use to produce petrochemicals is the largest source of growth, closely followed
by rising
consumption for trucks (fuel - efficiency policies cover 80 % of
global car sales today, but only 50 % of
global truck sales), for aviation and for shipping.
By some estimates, a phase out of
global fossil fuel
consumption and production — particularly coal and
oil — will need to be nearly complete within 50 years.
Experts agree that a shift in our energy and
consumption is necessary to avert catastrophe brought on
by global warming, yet there is strong resistance to a major move away from a coal - fired electricity and
oil - based economy to one based on alternative sources of renewable energy.
The energy system is both a source of emissions that lead to
global warming and it can also be directly affected
by climate change: through changes in our energy
consumption patterns, potential shutdowns of offshore
oil and gas production, changing ice and snow conditions in the
oil production regions of Alaska, changing sea ice conditions in the Arctic Ocean and the implications for shipping routes, and impacts of sea - level rise on coasts, where so much of our energy facility infrastructure is located.
These standards will reduce America's
consumption of
oil, save consumers money at the gas pump, and protect public health and the environment
by curbing
global warming pollution.
This study shows Brazilian sugarcane ethanol could displace up to 13 % of
global crude
oil consumption by 2045 whilst balancing forest conservation and future land demand for food.
