We know a circular economy with renewable energy is the path, and we have positioned ourselves to be the alternative energy capital of the world. Producers of so-called blue, gray and brown hydrogen use either fossil fuels (natural gas or coal) or low-temperature gasification (. That’s why our partnership with SGH2 is so important.

NOVEMBER 13, 2011

Under the WEO 2011 central scenario, oil demand rises from 87 million barrels per day (mb/d) in 2010 to 99 mb/d in 2035, with all the net growth coming from the transport sector in emerging economies. So as incomes rise—especially in the emerging economies—the size of the global car fleet will inevitably rise in the long term.
