By Akinola Ajibade

The Secretary-General, Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), H.E Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo on Tuesday said that the demand for energy globally will rise to 60 per cent by 2045 as projected.

He stated this at the official open of this years’ 2022 Nigeria Oil and Gas (NOG) Conference with the theme “Finding the Nigerian Energy Mix for Sustainable Economic Growth” in Abuja.

According to him, the world will continue to consume oil and gas for the foreseeable future.

“This world will continue to tasty for energy, will continue to tasty for oil and gas as a result of combined effects to increase demand in energy. Oil alone is project to grow by 28 percent between now to year 2045. It is ill-advised for anyone to suggest that to achieve our climate target of global temperature rises at 1.5 degree sensuous agreed in Paris that oil and gas should be discontinued. This is unscientific and unsupported by fact.” he stressed.
