Is Oil Demand Doomed With or Without Climate Policy?

Christof Rühl, member of the Advisory Board of Crystol Energy and a Senior Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, presented the findings of his paper on the curious relationship between oil and GDP in a webinar organised by Rice University’s Baker Institute Center for Energy Studies (CES) on 18 June 2021. The paper has been co-authored with Tit Erker, Lead Economist at Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA). 

Christof was joined by Sarah Emerson, President of ESAI Energy, and Dean Foreman, Chief Economist of the American Petroleum Institute. Mark Finley, Fellow in Energy and Global Oil at Rice University’s Baker Institute, moderated the discussion.
