Gas demand growth was especially strong in the United States and China. Solar and wind generation grew at double-digit pace, with solar alone increasing by 31%. Still, that was not fast enough to meet higher electricity demand around the world that also drove up coal use. Gas demand in China increased by almost 18%.

Oil accounts for most of this decline as, for the first time, global consumer spending on oil is set to fall below the amount spent on electricity. Global investment in oil and gas is expected to fall by almost one-third in 2020. At the same time, many national oil companies are now desperately short of funding.
