A stacked bar chart showing projected oil use in the chemical sector, by year and climate scenario. In all years and scenarios, plastics take up the most oil. If current policies are followed, oil usage for plastics will grow from 9.9m barrels per day in 2021 to 11.3m in 2030 and 13.0m in 2050. If net-zero pledges are put into place, oil usage for plastics will grow to 10.2m barrels per day in 2030, but drop to 8.8m in 2050.
