And while $759bn is hardly chicken feed, it is roughly one per cent of the $172tr estimated by BNEF to be needed to decarbonise the global energy sector by 2050. But under a net zero emissions scenario, refineries start to be retired from 2030 as demand for transport fuels peaks as drivers switch to electric vehicles.
