No peak oil demand 'on the horizon', phaseout a 'fantasy': OPEC

OPEC said Tuesday that phasing out oil was a “fantasy”, as the Saudi-led cartel forecast that demand would keep growing until at least 2050, a key year in the battle against climate change.

The oil cartel’s prediction runs counter to the assessment of the Paris-based International Energy Agency, which sees demand for fossil fuels peaking this decade as the world turns to renewable energy and electric cars.
