the head of The international energy agency (IEA) participated on Thursday in the conference Energy for Tomorrow, which was arranged by the newspaper The New York Times in Paris.
Birol used the opportunity to pour a bucket of ice-cold water over elbilentusiastane in the saddle.
I don’t think the argument that elbilar alone will cause the demand for oil passes the top. At least not in the short or medium term, ” said Birol.
the Reason is that the growth in demand for oil not come from personbilar. It comes from trucks, aircraft, and petrochemical industry. Today we have no adequate alternative to oil here, he said.
Not enough
Birol underline that he did not wanted to discourage from innovatørane. It is very good with elbilar, that he fixed on.
– But we must put things in perspective, ” said Birol.
– If second car that is sold in the world over the next 20 years, is an electric vehicle, we will still not reach any peak in demand for oil. It will continue to grow, he said.
According to the he is not the world on the way to achieving the klimamåla in Parisavtalen. The development goes in the right direction in Europe, but the strong growth in Asia is starting to steer the world towards a warming of far more than 2 degrees.
Technology development
Also the climate and miljøminister Vidar Helgesen (H) were in place at the conference in Paris. He believes Birol is right that the really big challenges not lie in personbilmarknaden.
Where are things about to solve itself on a overbevisande way, even if it is to go langsamt certain not several countries are introducing incentive. The big question is how tungtransporten evolve, ” says Helgesen to the NTB.
He thinks, nevertheless, Birol underestimate teknologiutviklinga in the number of heavy transport trucks and by hydrogenlastebilar as an alternative that are about to get interesting.
In the airline industry is it further ahead. Have you rekkeviddeangst in the car, so welcome on board of the aircraft. But where will biofuels be an important part of the solution, predict Helgesen.
Over 1 million
the Iea’s own benchmarks show that last year was merkeåret where the number of elbilar in the ways of the world passed the 1 million mark. The number is tripled in just two years.
It is the united STATES and China, which has the most elbilar, but seen in relation to our size, it is Norway that is in the lead. By the end of 2015 amounted to elbilar 2.6 per cent of the registered personbilane in Norway.
Elbilsalet in Norway has been somewhat lower this year than last, and elbilar is no in excess of 15 percent of the new personbilar that is being registered. (©NPK)
