According to the "Global Carbon Budget" report recently presented by environmental researchers, global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels are expected to decrease by 0.4% in 2026.
These researchers announced that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the sharp increase in oil prices greatly reduced demand. According to them, the reduction of oil consumption after the war and the expansion of the use of renewable energy are the main causes of the decrease in carbon emissions.
This will be the first annual decrease in carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels since the corona epidemic in 2020.
