La consommation de carburant pourrait être divisée par deux en 20 ans si les politiques adéquates sont mises en place, même si le nombre de voitures en circulation dans le monde devrait doubler. C’est ce qu’a annoncé l’Agence internationale de l’énergie.
Increased demand from transport, which currently accounts for one-fifth of global final energy consumption, is expected to make up all future growth in oil use worldwide, the IEA predicted in a two reports published on Wednesday (19 September). The reports did, however, identify a “massive potential” to reduce demand for transport fuel even if the number of cars were to double by 2050. One of the reports looks at the available transport technologies (Technology Roadmap: Fuel Economy of Road Vehicles), while the other (Policy Pathway: Improving the Fuel Economy of Road Vehicles) examines the changes needed in policies which would stimulate technology. The IEA presents fuel efficiency as one of the main tools for curbing the world's dependency on oil, which has become increasingly costly in recent years.
This has added pressure on a wide range of other industries which depend on oil, such as agriculture and construction, pushing up prices for food and many other consumer products.
