T&E study finds EU has replaced Russian oil barrel-for-barrel as continent fails to cut demand

Green Car Congress

JULY 31, 2023

Since the EU imposed sanctions on Russia in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine, there has been a redrawing of the global oil map, a new study by Transport & Environment (T&E) shows. Instead of cutting demand, Europe has simply replaced imports from Russia with oil from other producing countries. C carbon budget.

Notwithstanding that oil demand has increased for over 150 years, it will eventually stop increasing. If oil demand were to reach an actual peak, then the top might be easier to predict. The so-called balance of supply and demand has always been a moving target, a race to the top in which the two run neck and neck.
