I've been thinking a bit about demand destruction. It will happen in rich countries where there are easy substitutes (heating, a little power generation, some industry) and everywhere in poor countries (where oil is sadly overrepresented in both of the vital sectors heating and power generation).

But I haven't managed to find any info on global oil consumption by sector. Anyone having a nice grahp around so we can see where it's possible to cut down on consumption in just a few years and rather easily?

This is the best I can find, but it's not good enough.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

As you can see transport is the main use.. And how much of this use is needed for the transport of good or vital.. I think we can reduce 20% of oil use just by reducing the private non-essential trips.

I think we ahve a lot of slack ther to prevent a crisis in Europe... if we can control the private transport.

A pleasure

While it's better than the one I posted, it's still not good enough. We need to see consumption by sector, not by type of petroleum fuel.

Perhaps it's not exactly what you would expect, but it may help ...
Sorry, it's in french !
"Essence" = gasoline
"Gas-oil, fuel" = diesel, heating fuel
"Lubrifiants" = lubricants
"Pétrochimie" = petrochemistry
