OPEC sees global oil demand rising to 123m bpd by 2050: Secretary-General
Saudi Arabia:
Global demand for oil is expected to reach around
123 million barrels per day by 2050, with the crude maintaining the largest
share of the global energy mix at nearly 30 percent, OPEC Secretary-General
Haitham Al-Ghais said.
Speaking at a conference in Kuwait on Oct. 22, Al-Ghais
said demand for all types of fuel will continue to rise through 2050 and beyond,
driven by population growth, economic expansion, rising urbanization, and the
emergence of new energy-intensive industries, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Al-Ghais added that meeting this projected demand
will require massive investments estimated at about $18.2 trillion by 2050.
