Economic impact of energy transition on oil producers

Overview

A report by the think tank E3G, titled ‘Oil Endgame’, has raised concerns regarding the economic stability of hydrocarbon-dependent nations. The research warns that the global transition away from oil could trigger significant revenue losses, economic upheaval, and potential conflict. Specifically, the report suggests Algeria could see oil revenue declines as high as 87%, while Nigeria could lose more than 60%.

These projections have sparked debate among experts. While some analysts warn that countries like Algeria, Angola, and Nigeria may struggle to maintain social stability, other major institutions offer differing forecasts for global oil demand. OPEC predicts demand will reach 113.3 million barrels per day by 2030, and the International Energy Agency (IEA) provides a moderate estimate of approximately 105.5 million barrels per day for the same period.
