據全球能源新聞網4月24日報道，在交通運輸和其他依賴石油的行業中，電氣化的應用正在加速，并將比我們之前的預測更快地消耗石油。由于這一轉變，雷斯塔能源公司（Rystad Energy）將其石油需求峰值預測下調至1.016億桶/日，這一峰值將在2026年出現，比預期的要早，在2030年后降至1億桶/日以下之前趨于平穩。

　　在最新的基本情況下，石油需求將主要被不斷增長的電動汽車(EV)市場削弱。

　　據雷斯塔能源預測，在塑料回收、石化部門中氫的使用量增加、電力、農業和海事部門中石油的替代等領域，會出現結構性變化，有些變化是突然的，有些變化是緩慢的。從長遠來看其他行業中期仍將迎來旺盛的石油需求，如卡車、海運和石化、航空等，我們看到，噴氣燃料與生物噴氣燃料等非石油燃料的替代相當可觀，而生物噴氣燃料仍然是整個液體產品領域的一部分。我們可以看到，非石油燃料(如生物燃料)正在大量替代航空燃料，而生物燃料仍然是整個液體產品領域的一部分。

　　雷斯塔能源公司的石油市場分析師索非亞·圭迪·迪·桑特表示，石油需求將分三個階段演變。到2025年，石油需求仍然受到新冠疫情影響，電動汽車的發展仍然緩慢，然后從2025-2035年，結構性下降和替代影響（特別是卡車）占據主導地位，最后，到2050年，塑料的回收和海運技術的加速將是最后一個過渡階段，就我們的平均情況而言，2050年石油需求將進一步下降到5100萬桶/日。

　　?占石油需求48%以上的道路運輸(乘用車、公交車和貨運)將是石油轉型的最終驅動力。最快的轉型已經在電動乘用車領域展開，目前占全球汽車銷量的6%，但到2025年將達到23%，然后到2050年加速達到96%。

　　?占石油總需求的18%的卡車，短期內不會實現電氣化，但當在2030年代中期被采用并開始達到臨界量時，替代影響將比燃料較少的小型車輛要高得多。電動卡車將受益于乘用車已經建立的技術基礎。公共汽車也將逐步從石油柴油轉向電動和生物燃料。到2025年，電動卡車的市場份額將上升至6%，2030年為21%，2040年為61%。

　　?占石油總需求14%的石油化工產品，隨著全球人均塑料消費量的增長，預計將至少持續增長到21世紀30年代中期。正如在玻璃和金屬中觀察到的那樣，隨著塑料回收率從目前的有效回收率5%趨向于75-80%，需求達到峰值，與此同時，氫源原料從目前的不足1%上升到2030年LDPE、HDPE、PP和PVC塑料生產的原始石化原料的30%。

　　?占需求的6%的海運，預計至少在21世紀30年代中期以石油為主，之后我們預計將轉向液化天然氣、氫氣、電池和其他碳中性船舶，尤其是在新建船舶中。隨著IMO 2020的到來，這一領域已經經歷了一個巨大的轉變，從高硫燃料轉向超低硫燃料。

　　?占石油需求的比重不到7%的航空業，由于沒有可行的石油替代技術存在，預計航空業將持續增長到2050年。生物航空燃料的逐步引入將限制純煤油航空燃料的需求增長，但除非引入可行的替代技術，否則不會影響到2050年航空業的強勁增長。

　　?其他行業(農業、能源自身使用、自身能源使用、工業、建筑和電力行業)繼續呈下降趨勢。不斷增長的農業和能源自用需求部分抵消了電力中石油消耗的加速下降。

　　AS ELECTRIFICATION IN TRANSPORT ACCELERATES OIL DEMAND MAY PEAK IN 2026

　　The adoption of electrification in transport and other oil-dependent sectors is accelerating and is set to chip away at oil sooner and faster than in our previous forecast. As a result of this transition, Rystad Energy is downgrading its peak oil demand forecast to 101.6 million barrels per day (bpd), a pinnacle that will come in 2026, earlier than thought, plateauing before falling below 100 million bpd after 2030.

　　In its updated base case, oil demand will be whittled away mainly by a growing electric vehicle (EV) market.

　　Rystad forecasts tectonic shifts – some sudden and others slowly evolving – in plastics recycling, a growing share of hydrogen in the petrochemical sector, and oil substitution in power, agriculture, and maritime sectors. Other sectors will still see thriving oil demand in the mid-term, such as trucks, maritime and petrochemicals, and aviation in the long term, where we see a sizable substitution of jet fuel with non-petroleum fuels such as bio-jet fuel, which is still part of the overall liquids products universe.

　　“Oil demand will evolve in three phases. Through 2025, oil demand is still affected by Covid-19 impacts and EVs are still slow to take off, then from 2025-2035, structural declines and substitution impacts -especially in trucks – take hold, and then finally, towards 2050, the recycling of plastics and accelerated technologies in maritime will be the final transition leg bringing oil demand further down towards 51 million bpd in 2050 in our Mean Case,“ says Sofia Guidi Di Sante, oil markets analyst at Rystad Energy.

　　? Road transport (passenger vehicles, buses and freight), which makes up over 48% of oil demand, will be the ultimate driver of the transition. The swiftest transition is already well underway in the electric passenger vehicle sector, which currently makes up 6% of global vehicle sales, but will account for 23% by 2025 and then accelerate towards 96% penetration by 2050.

　　? Trucks, which account for 18% of total demand, will not electrify in the short-term, but when the adoption occurs in the mid-2030s and begins reaching critical mass, the substitution impact will be much higher on a per-unit basis compared to smaller vehicles that use less fuel. EV trucks will benefit from the technology groundwork already being established in passenger vehicles. Buses will also see a gradual transition from petroleum diesel to electric and biofuels. The EV truck market share will rise to 6% in 2025, 21% in 2030, and 61% in 2040.

　　? Petrochemicals, which make up 14% of total oil demand, are expected to grow until at least the mid-2030s as plastics consumption per capita grows worldwide. The demand then peaks as plastics recycling rates converge towards 75-80%, as observed in glass and metals, from the current effective rate of 5%, at the same time as hydrogen-sourced feedstock picks up from less than 1% today to 30% of the virgin petrochemical feedstock for LDPE, HDPE, PP and PVC plastics production in 2030.

　　? Maritime, which makes up 6% of demand, is expected to be dominated by oil for at least through the mid-2030s, after which we expect to see switching to LNG, hydrogen, electric batteries, and other carbon-neutral vessels, especially in newbuilds. This sector already underwent a big transition with IMO 2020, which saw the switching from high-sulfur fuel to ultra-low sulfur fuel.

　　? Aviation, which makes up less than 7% of oil demand, is expected to continue to grow until 2050 as no viable oil substitution technology exists. The gradual introduction of bio-jet fuel will limit pure kerosene jet fuel demand growth but will not affect the strong upward trajectory in aviation through 2050, unless a viable alternative technology is introduced.

　　? Other sectors (agriculture, energy own use, own energy use, industry, buildings, and power generation) continue a downward sloping trajectory. Growing agriculture and energy own use demand partially offset the accelerated decline of oil consumption in power.
