Structural changes in the energy sector are now moving fast enough to deliver a peak in oil and gas demand by the end of this decade under today’s policy settings.
After the peak, demand is not currently set to decline quickly enough to align with the Paris Agreement and the 1.5 °C goal.
However, if governments deliver in full on their national energy and climate pledges, then oil and gas…
