Over the same period, energy intensity, a key measure of energy use per unit of economic output, is set to improve globally led by rapid efficiency gains in the same non-OECD economies, under these projections. OECD oil demand peaked in 2005 and in 2030 is projected to be roughly back at its level in 1990. The net growth of 16.5

However, fossil fuels continue to supply nearly 80% of world energy use through 2040. Natural gas is the fastest-growing fossil fuel, as global supplies of tight gas, shale gas, and coalbed methane increase. per year over the projection period, but remain a relatively minor share of total liquids supply through 2040.

A number of factors are pushing Saudi Arabia to raise its crude-oil production capacity, but the wide range of potential outcomes suggests that such an increase is a risky strategy for the kingdom and the global environment, according to a new article by an expert from Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy.

Proponents of the concept of peak oil supply argue that the world faces a situation—possibly very soon—in which its capacity to produce oil hits a ceiling, with demand subsequently having to adjust as supply begins to decline and alternatives to oil move into the market to fill the gap.

A new study by the French institute Enerdata, commissioned by the European Federation for Transport & Environment (T&E), suggests that the European CO 2 standards for new vehicles due to come into effect in 2012 will lead not only to a European savings on oil (mainly via lower oil import volumes) but also to slightly lower global oil prices.

The current global economic downturn will dampen world energy demand in the near term, as manufacturing and consumer demand for goods and services slows. World oil prices have fallen sharply from their July 2008 high mark. The EIA notes that experience demonstrates that world oil prices can be extremely volatile.
