India will become main driver of oil demand growth by 2024

India is predicted to overtake China as the biggest source of growth for oil demand by 2024, according to research and consultancy group Wood Mackenzie.

India’s oil demand is set to increase by 3.5 billion barrels per day from 2017 to 2035, which will account for a third of global oil demand growth.

In 2017, China became the world’s biggest importer of crude oil. China is predicted to see a decline in oil demand growth from 2024 to 2035.

  7. I’d naturally argue for Fischer-Tropsch coal-to-oil conversion. Nukes could be used to generate India’s electricity and provide the power and hydrogen to run the synfuel plants.
