After growing by more than 2% in 2019, global gas use is set to fall by around 4% in 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic reduces energy consumption across the global economies. The report shows that medium-term growth will come from increasing cost-competitiveness and increased global access to gas. Low-carbon gas.

Petroleum emissions from other sectors have fallen in recent years as equipment and processes that use petroleum fuels have been replaced by those using other fuels, in particular, natural gas. Natural gas is the least carbon-intensive fossil fuel, and for decades natural gas made up the smallest portion of US energy-related CO 2 emissions.
