Peak Oil Demand and Its Implications
ExxonMobil's recent report projects a formidable oil demand in 2030, suggesting that energy transitions may not move as quickly as some analysts predict. The report raises concerns around energy shocks if producers underestimate the future necessity for oil.
The ExxonMobil vs. BP Outlook
Exxon's demand forecast is notably 25% higher than the prediction made by industry competitor BP (LON: BP). This variance spotlights the uncertainty in oil demand forecasts and the possible impact on the energy market.
Renewable Energy and Legacy Fuels
