???? 據2月18日Trade Arabia報道，2020年，新冠肺炎疫情導致石油需求減少900萬至1000萬桶/天，不過，預計今年石油需求將反彈500萬至600萬桶/天。有關報告指出，疫情還導致一些展望報告將長期年度經濟增長下調了至多0.8個百分點。
????國際能源署(IEA)、國際能源論壇(IEF)和歐佩克主辦了第11屆IEA-IEF-Opec能源展望研討會，探討新冠肺炎疫情對全球能源市場的影響以及全球能源安全和市場穩定的前景。
????研討會由國際能源論壇主辦，回顧IEA和歐佩克的短期、中期和長期展望，并在最新發布的國際能源論壇- RFF展望比較報告中進行了分析。這份報告由國際能源論壇和未來資源(RFF)共同撰寫，發布在國際能源論壇網站上，強調了在經歷了歷史上最大的需求沖擊后，能源前景的重新定位。
????國際能源論壇秘書長約瑟夫·麥克莫尼格爾(Joseph McMonigle) 表示：“疫情對能源需求的影響在能源市場歷史上是空前的，研討會探討了政府政策和行業應對措施對于維護能源市場長期穩定的重要意義。”
????這次專題討論會是這三個組織于2010年3月在墨西哥坎昆舉行的第12屆國際能源論壇上制定的更廣泛的聯合工作方案的一部分。研討會以現場直播的形勢向公眾開放。
????IEA執行主任法蒂赫·比羅爾表示:“對話與合作在引導全球能源體系走向一個可持續發展的未來方面，變得越來越重要。豐富、價格合理、清潔達能源將被用來助力經濟增長和人類發展。”
????歐佩克秘書長穆罕默德·巴爾金多在研討會開幕詞中肯定了過去一年中，歐佩克和非歐佩克國家參與《合作宣言》（DoC）以幫助穩定石油市場所作的重要貢獻，IEA和IEF支持市場再平衡所做的努力，以及20國集團密切對話的重要性。他還強調，有必要繼續對石油行業進行投資，以確保供應穩定，并以保持一種包容性的態度來應對氣候變化、能源轉型和能源獲取的挑戰。他表示，這些投資對生產者和消費者來說都至關重要。
????這位歐佩克秘書長在研討會上表示:“在這個瞬息萬變的世界，我們尋求為實現更穩定、更具有可預測性和更高透明度的能源市場作貢獻。我們將不斷提高我們的能力，以建設一個更美好的未來，一個可持續發展的，符合生產者和消費者利益的未來。”
????世界天然氣出口國論壇秘書長森特尤林表示:“現在取消油氣行業的投資還為時過早，因為在可預見的未來，它們仍將是全球能源結構中的重要組成部分。”
????IEF-RFF展望比較報告的其他主要發現包括:
????*預計到2040年，即使各國實現《巴黎協定》氣候目標，化石燃料將在一次能源結構中占據主導地位。
????*凈零排放戰略或將無法實現。
????*盡管需求可能會從發達國家轉移到發展中國家，但長期來看，全球石油需求預計將保持穩定。
????*市場對未來油氣行業的重要性判斷存在不同的看法，碳捕獲、利用和儲存（CCUS）等新技術可能發揮更大的作用。
????*核電、水電、風能和太陽能將占電力行業增長的很大一部分，而煤炭發電份額預計將下降，天然氣作為過渡燃料面臨不確定的未來。
????* 人們日益遠大的氣候目標將對占全球排放量四分之三的能源行業產生重大影響。

????Oil demand to bounce back this year, says report
????The Covid pandemic led to oil demand contracting by 9-10 million barrels per day in 2020, but it is expected to rebound by 5-6 million barrels per day this year, a major symposium heard.
????The pandemic has also led to a downward revision in long-term annual economic growth by as much as 0.8 percentage points in some outlooks, a high-level report noted.
????The International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Energy Forum (IEF) and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) hosted the 11th IEA-IEF-Opec Symposium on Energy Outlooks to examine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on global energy markets and the outlook for global energy security and market stability.
????Hosted by the IEF, the symposium reviewed the IEA’s and Opec’s short-, medium- and longterm outlooks, which are analysed in the newly released IEF-RFF Outlooks Comparison Report. Produced by the IEF and Resources For the Future (RFF), the report posted on the IEF website highlights a reset in energy outlooks after the biggest demand shock in history last year.
????“The pandemic’s impact on energy demand is unparalleled in the history of energy markets,” says IEF Secretary General Joseph McMonigle. “The symposium explored what government policies and industry responses are necessary to safeguard the long-term stability of energy markets.”
????The Symposium is part of a wider joint programme of work by the three organisations originating from the 12th International Energy Forum held in Cancún, Mexico in March 2010. The Symposium was live-streamed and open to the public.
????Dr Fatih Birol, the Executive Director of the IEA, said: “Dialogue and cooperation will be increasingly vital to steer the global energy system towards a future that is fit for tomorrow’s generations, where energy is abundant, affordable, clean and is used to underpin growth and development.”
????In his opening remarks to the Symposium, Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo, Opec Secretary General, recognised the vital contributions of the Opec and non-Opec countries participating in the Declaration of Cooperation (DoC) in helping to stabilise the oil market over the past year, and the importance of close dialogue with the G20, the IEA and IEF in supporting market rebalancing efforts. He also emphasised the need for continued investment in the oil industry to ensure stability of supply and to help maintain an inclusive approach to addressing climate change, the energy transition and energy access challenges. "These investments are essential for both producers and consumers," he said.
????"In our fast-changing and unpredictable world, we seek to contribute to greater stability, more predictability and enhanced transparency," the Opec Secretary General told the Symposium. "We constantly seek to improve our capacity to do so, for we believe this will help us build a better future, one which serves the interests of generations of producers and consumers."
????GECF Secretary General Sentyurin, said:“It is too early to write off hydrocarbons as they will remain the dominating source in the global energy mix for the foreseeable future.”
????Other key findings in the IEF-RFF Outlooks Comparison Report include:
????* Fossil fuels are expected to dominate the primary energy mix thru 2040, even in scenarios where countries meet the Paris Agreement’s climate goals.
????* The gap between current pathway scenarios and alternative scenarios is large and growing annually, signalling that the zero-carbon emissions scenario may not be achieved.
????* Demand for oil is expected to be stable over the long term globally, although demand will likely shift from developed to developing countries.
????* Differing outlooks on the expected importance of hydrocarbons suggest that new technologies such as carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) could have a bigger role to play.
????* Nuclear, hydro, wind and solar will account for a majority of growth in the electricity sector, while coal is expected to decline and natural gas faces an uncertain future as a transition fuel.
????* Growing climate ambitions in the lead up to COP26 will have significant implications for the energy sector, which accounts for three-quarters of global emissions.
