The report estimates consumption to have been more than 500,000 barrels per day (b/d) in 2016. About two-thirds of China’s methanol feedstock is produced from coal and the remainder from coking gas (a by-product of steel production) and natural gas.

China continued to implement policies designed to shift households and businesses from coal to gas boilers, mainly for air quality reasons. Oil represented the largest share of final demand, at around 41%, but demand growth slowed to 1.5% In 2018, higher oil prices helped dampen demand for road transport fuels.

In its latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that US crude oil production, which averaged an estimated 8.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2016, will average 9.2 High oil and coal production also could contribute to diesel consumption growth, EIA notes.

The team explored other scenarios including different levels of CO 2 and CH 4 fees applied to the BAU and OPT scenarios; different levels of LDV demand; and different oil prices. Electricity generation from natural gas increases over time in both scenarios, whereas generation from existing coal plants declines.
