2016 refined oil products production growth (1.1%) was in line with its long-term trend (1%)
2016 growth was driven by the Asian and the Middle East countries, in particular China, Saudi Arabia and the UAE that have commissioned several new refineries in recent years.
Petroleum products production dipped in Mexico and Venezuela resulting from low refined oil products demand in 2016.
Refinery closures over the past years in Europe combined with the willingness of Middle East countries to refine crude oil locally and low refining costs in the North America led to a stable production of refined oil in Europe despite the rise in the consumption.

Fossil fuels still make up 81% of the US energy consumption in 2016
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that fossil fuels provided 81% of the total US energy consumption in 2016 despite the growing weight of renewables in the domestic energy mix. The renewable share of energy consumption reached 10.5% in 2016 and is the largest amount since the 1930s, when the amount of biomass consumption was still relatively high. This growth is mainly attributable to solar and wind electricity generation, while liquid biofuel consumption also increased.
