Transitioning oil market lays bare forecasters’ divergent assumptions

In an exclusive new monthly column for Energy Connects, Senior Contributor Gaurav Sharma writes that oil demand forecasting in the energy transition age is perhaps like an abstract art form. There might even be an equally persuasive case that it is, and always was, an inexact science.

For the ‘artists’, demand forecasting may involve some indeterminate creativity and the odd guestimate.

Governments should make inefficient and carbon-intensive consumer goods as unfashionable as smoking.

Building a diversified and resilient energy mix in Africa: lessons from EGYPES 2024

For most African countries, gas and renewable energy represent an untapped potential to bridge the energy deficit on the continent and support industrialization – providing the right policies and incentives are put in place to do so. But so far, access to energy has remained unreliable for African industries and households, and natural resources continue to be largely extracted and exported raw.
