據油氣新聞2月21日消息稱，歐盟統計局表示，2020年的疫情限制措施將歐盟的石油和原油消耗降至30年來的最低水平。

歐盟統計局表示，該地區石油和原油產品的最終消費量創下了有史以來的最大降幅，在短短一年內下降了約10%，至3.1億噸石油當量（Mtoe）。

2020年3月，歐盟各國政府開始限制人們的行動，以遏制疫情傳播，導致柴油和汽油等運輸燃料的消費量大幅下降。

2019年，煤油型噴氣燃料在航空領域的使用量達到了4820萬噸的絕對高點，但由于旅行限制迫使航空公司取消航班，2020年的使用量下降了56%以上。

在能源和非能源使用方面，盧森堡的石油和原油產品消費降幅最大，較2019年下降了21%。

為實現歐盟到2050年實現凈零排放的目標，歐盟成員國越來越多地轉向風能、太陽能和其他清潔能源，而到2020年，可再生能源將占歐盟能源消費的22%。

EU’s oil and petroleum consumption hit record low in 2020

Pandemic restrictions in 2020 reduced the European Union’s oil and petroleum consumption in energy use to its lowest in 30 years, the bloc’s statistics office said.

Eurostat said the final consumption of oil and petroleum products across the region registered its sharpest drop ever, falling by about 10% to 310 megatonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in only one year.

In March 2020 EU governments began to limit people’s movements to curb the spread of COVID-19, leading to a significant decline in consumption of transport fuels such as diesel and gasoline.

The use of kerosene-type jet fuel in aviation, which in 2019 reached an absolute high at 48.2 Mtoe, slumped more than 56% in 2020 as travel restrictions forced airlines to cancel flights.

Luxembourg registered the largest decrease in oil and petroleum products consumption in energy and non-energy use, down 21% from 2019.

As member states increasingly turn to wind, solar and other clean energy sources in their efforts to meet the bloc’s net-zero ambition by 2050, the EU tapped renewables for 22% of its energy consumption in 2020.
