Global oil emissions are projected to decrease by 1.9% in 2026, primarily due to disruptions caused by the Iranian conflict. The decline follows reduced energy consumption as a result of supply interruptions. Energy experts note that the conflict has led to a temporary slowdown in oil usage. At the same time, increased production of solar and wind energy is contributing to the shift away from fossil fuels. The International Energy Agency has confirmed the forecast, citing ongoing geopolitical tensions as a key factor. The reduction is expected to be most significant in regions directly affected by the conflict. Analysts warn that the impact could last for several months. The shift is also being influenced by growing investments in renewable energy sources. The projected drop marks a notable change from previous trends. The Iranian conflict has already caused a 3% decrease in oil demand in the first half of 2026. The energy sector is preparing for continued volatility in the coming months.
