Oil Demand for Transport: Stronger for Longer

Will you still be driving an internal combustion engine vehicle in 2040? Maybe.  This week on Switched On we talk to David Doherty, a BNEF senior analyst specializing in oil demand analysis. Today on the show he'll make the case that despite all the EVs and trucks getting out on the road, oil demand and CO2 emissions in 2040 from transport will be largely flat from today. Transport demand in developing economies, as well as growing demand for things -- think of it as the Amazon effect -- will be the main drivers.  David gets right to the point of how this scenario plays out and the factors contributing to it.  Switched On is hosted this week by Mark Taylor and Dana Perkins.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
