Even a 5 percent drop in demand
for fuel in those countries would knock about 325,000 bpd from
global crude
oil consumption.
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.
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.

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

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.
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.
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.
Analysis in the new WEO - 2017 showed that

for food.
«In 2014, the
global consumption of coal,
