Peak uncertainty – what the current debate about peak oil demand says about the energy transition

Several recent reports suggest that global oil demand either has peaked, or will peak, before 2030. On the other hand, oil supplier group OPEC+ vigorously rebuts these forecasts. Despite radically diverging visions, both sides do seem to agree about the fields of the coming battle: in emerging economies and between addition versus substitution. New Energy World Senior Editor Will Dalrymple investigates.
