Suncor Energy faces demand destruction, as $100 oil forces consumer shifts

Suncor Energy faces potential long-term oil demand destruction as high prices and geopolitical tensions impact global consumption. Industry experts cited by The Globe and Mail warn that consumers are increasingly adopting fuel alternatives.

The International Energy Agency projects a contraction in overall oil demand. Goldman Sachs analysts previously identified $100 per barrel as the threshold for significant demand destruction.

Sustained high prices may permanently alter consumer energy habits. These shifts create a long-term headwind for major producers like Suncor.
