![]() He presented a simulation by the Institute for Disease Modeling which found that a new flu like the one that killed 50 million people in the 1918 pandemic would now most likely kill 30 million people within six months. He discussed the threat infectious diseases pose and urged Trump to prioritize the US's preparedness efforts - advice he also gave other 2016 presidential candidates, according to The Wall Street Journal.Īnd in a 2018 discussion about epidemics hosted by the Massachusetts Medical Society and the New England Journal of Medicine, Gates said a pandemic could happen within the next decade. In a 2015 TED talk, Gates said the world was "not ready for the next epidemic."Īnd he reportedly warned President Donald Trump about the dangers of a pandemic in December 2016. While Russian pipeline supply to Europe overall was steady at 167 Bcm in 2021, exports to the EU decreased by 8.2% (-12 Bcm).Co-Chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Bill Gates speaks at the panel Building Human Capital: A Project for the World, during the World Bank/IMF Spring Meetings, in Washington, Saturday, April 21, 2018. Algerian pipeline exports to Europe were the largest source of pipeline supply growth to the region (+13 Bcm) last year, followed by Azerbaijan (+6 Bcm).China surpassed Japan as the world’s largest LNG importer and accounted for close to 60% of global LNG demand growth in 2021.LNG supply from the US rose by 34 Bcm, accounting for most of the new incremental supplies and more than offsetting declines from mainly other Atlantic Basin exporters. LNG supply grew 5.6% (+26 Bcm) to 516 Bcm in 2021, its slowest rate of growth since 2015 (other than in 2020).Its share in primary energy in 2021 was unchanged from the previous year at 24%. Global natural gas demand grew 5.3% in 2021, recovering above pre-pandemic 2019 levels and crossing the 4 Tcm mark for the first time.US Henry Hub prices nearly doubled to average $3.84/mmBtu in 2021 - their highest annual level since 2014. Natural gas prices rebounded strongly across all three major gas regions in 2021, rising fourfold to record annual levels in Europe (TTF averaging $16.02/mmBtu) and tripling in the Asian LNG spot market (JKM averaging $18.60/mmBtu).As a result, refining capacity in the OECD in 2021 was at its lowest level since 1998. Refinery capacity declined for the first time in over 30 years by almost 500,000 b/d last year, driven by a sharp reduction in the OECD (1.1 million b/d).Among all countries, Libya (840,000 b/d), Iran (540,000 b/d) and Canada (300,000 b/d) saw the largest increases. Global oil production increased by 1.4 million b/d in 2021, with OPEC+ accounting for more than three-quarters of the increase.Regionally, most of the growth took place in the US (1.5 million b/d), China (1.3 million b/d) and the EU (570,000 b/d). A majority of the consumption growth came from gasoline (1.8 million b/d) and diesel/gasoil (1.3 million b/d). ![]() Oil consumption increased by 5.3 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2021 but remained 3.7 million b/d below 2019 levels.Oil prices averaged $70.91/bbl in 2021, the second highest level since 2015. ![]()
