Alejandro Nuñez-Jimenez @anunezjimenez.com · 13/12/2025China, the world’s biggest emitter, "is reducing its dependence on fossil fuels. Between 2015-2023, China’s consumption-based emissions rose 24%, less than half the growth of its economy (over 50%). For the past 18 months, its emissions have plateaued and many analysts believe they may have peaked." 110

Alejandro Nuñez-Jimenez @anunezjimenez.com · 07/12/2025I agree. How "visible" these trends are in terms of easily accessible data may play a role. I imagine that new car registrations are easier to find as data and compare across countries than, say, sales of bikes and electric bikes. 020
Alejandro Nuñez-Jimenez @anunezjimenez.com · 07/12/2025The article in The Conversation is fascinating, thanks for sharing it :) 000
Alejandro Nuñez-Jimenez @anunezjimenez.com · 06/12/2025Totally agree, I just don't have the data at hand to say much about how modality changes may be affecting the oil demand for transport in China. Based on the report, it does not sound like they're having the most important factor, but that doesn't mean they are necessarily unimportant. 000
Alejandro Nuñez-Jimenez @anunezjimenez.com · 06/12/2025Based on the report, passenger cars seem the major driver. "Railway passenger reached a record high of 3.5 billion in Q1-Q3 of 2025, a 6% year-on-year increase. Air travel passengers grew slightly slower, by 5.2% compared to 2024, to 581 million passengers." But probably many factors are involved! 000
Alejandro Nuñez-Jimenez @anunezjimenez.com · 06/12/2025The driver of lower oil demand for transport seems clear. One in ten buses and passenger cars rolling on the streets in China in 2025 were new energy vehicles (BEV, PHEV, FCEV). Average sales of new passenger cars for the past 12 months are now over 50% new energy vehicles. 062
Alejandro Nuñez-Jimenez @anunezjimenez.com · 06/12/2025"[Oil] demand in the transport sector has likely peaked in 2023, implying that China’s total oil demand may be approaching a peak, unless offset by the consumption growth in other sectors such as chemicals production."
