Increasing international trade, industrialization and urbanization in emerging markets, and growth in global population (leading to rising consumption and infrastructure requirements) are expected to be the main drivers for demand growth.Thus, the industry needs to act quickly on decarbonization to ensure reduction in emission intensity and to offset the increase in demand. The key mitigation pathways are expected to be use of hydrogen-derived alternative fuels in the fuel mix and increasing the energy efficiency.
