Fossil fuels accounted for 82 percent of global consumption last year, according to a report from consultancy KPMG cited by Nasser, who noted that the International Energy Agency has said oil demand could hit a record this year."All this strengthens the view that peak oil and gas is unlikely for some time to come, let alone 2030," added Nasser, alluding to a medium-term target that has been seen as a potential phaseout date for crude.
