Global oil demand is set to grow next year at a lower rate than previously expected, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in its Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) for October, as it slashed its Brent oil price forecasts for 2025 due to lower expected demand increase. The EIA now expects global oil demand to grow by 1.3 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2025, due to downgraded forecasts of consumption in developed economies in the OECD. In the September STEO, the EIA had projected global consumption of liquid fuels would increase…

According to a new report from Norway's DNV, emissions from the energy sector are set to peak this year. The peak would be driven by the increased deployment of solar generation and battery storage. The report claims emissions may eventually halve by 2050, as non-hydrocarbon sources of energy come to account for some 50% of the global energy mix. DNV added that this would still be insufficient to hit the Paris Agreement targets of arresting the global average temperature increase to between 1.5 C and 2 C from pre-industrial times.

Scores of Big Oil companies have been pulling out of the aging oil basin, with production expected to continue shrinking despite the UK government recently issuing a raft of licenses since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. And now Europe’s scientists are looking into ways to put into good use all that oil and gas infrastructure. Researchers…
