Here is Special Piping Materials\u2019 round up of some of the energy predictions for 2021.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks to COVID-19, 2020 was one of the most chaotic years on record for the energy industry. It is hoped that as vaccines are unveiled across the world, the energy industry will soon see demand for oil increasing, crude prices creeping up and profits following suit.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Once quarantines and lockdowns are ended it is also hoped that the increase of ground vehicles and travel in general will see a further increase in demand for fuel. As a result, it is thought that the markets will soon experience boosted activity.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Energy<\/a><\/p>\n

Three things seem certain in our energy predictions for 2021:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 2021 has to be better than 2020. When predictions were made for 2020, it is doubtful that anyone thought that an unprecedented pandemic would sweep the world, cause mass \u2018lockdowns\u2019 and ground planes and industries from every corner of the globe. 2021 surely can\u2019t send us anything quite as dramatic! Executives from across the energy industry will be hoping that 2021 is a much calmer place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n
    1. Zero emission targets will be solidified, and steps made towards them, although we will still have to wait for big changes. In particular, the COP26 in Glasgow in November is likely to cause governments to scale up their rhetoric about green energy policies. In the UK for example, it is likely that Boris Johnson will push hard on his plans of encourage zero emission vehicles, walking and cycling but the more complex parts of the government\u2019s plans \u2013 CCS, Jet Zero and Hydrogen projects \u2013 are not expected to come to the fore this year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. There will probably still be some further upheaval in the energy supply market, as suppliers deal with the aftermath of 2020. While it is hoped that the worst of the COVID pandemic is behind us, it is still going to cause ups and downs in the energy sector as a new \u2018normal\u2019 is sought out. Factors like Brexit and the new administration in the US are also likely to cause some turbulence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        To get a clearer picture of energy predictions for 2021, we have sought out some energy expertise from industry analysts Wood Mackenzie and further across the sector via Business Insider\u2019s recent industry survey. Read on for more detail.<\/p>\n
