Gas demand growth was driven by its use in industry and buildings for heating. Electricity demand growth came mostly from the buildings sector as more people gained access to modern energy services and exceptional weather drove demand for heating and cooling. In 2018, higher oilprices helped dampen demand for road transport fuels.
Factors that influenced the overall emissions decrease included record-high oilprices and a decline in economic activity in the second half of the year. Oil-related emissions declined by 6%, accounting for the bulk of overall reduction in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. —an average of 1.1%
In the last quarter of 2014, in the face of possible oversupply, Saudi Arabia abandoned its traditional role as the global oil market’s swing producer and therefore it role as unofficial guarantor of existing ($100+ per barrel) prices. Prices rebounded to $60 for a few months, before falling once again below $50.
When oilprices rose to new highs in the 1970s, Brazil invested in ethanol created from the its sugar cane crops.
