Withdrawn: Demand dynamics for hydrocarbon fuels during the COVID‐19 pandemic

Abstract

This work is aimed at analyzing demand dynamics for hydrocarbon fuels from March 2020 and developing a forecast model for the near future. Based on the method of artificial neural network with feedforward and backpropagation learning, a model is proposed for forecasting oil demand and passenger mobility during a pandemic for the United States, Russia, and India. The results of the calculations showed that road and air transport dynamics strongly depend on the application of measures to limit and ban and the level of COVID‐19 incidence in a country. The proposed method can be used to make forecasts during pandemics and unforeseen situations to regulate the price policy for hydrocarbon fuels and the safety of passenger traffic in the future.

Impact of COVID‐19 on the Renewable Energy Sector and Mitigation Strategies

“…The duration of the lockdown greatly determines the impact of the pandemic on GDP and the energy sector, e.g., the oil and gas trade [33]. The shape of the recovery of the economy will Review Article also dwell on the indirect impact of the pandemic.…”

“…The outbreak of COVID‐19 caused spillover in all global industries; one of its more noticeable impacts it had was on oil‐dependent countries. The COVID‐19 pandemic has aggravated the situation of reduced oil prices by reducing oil demand 33 . In turn, this resulted in a fall in demand for aviation fuel, coal, and other energy products, which subsequently led to a fall in the oil price because of this low demand 35 .…”

COVID‐19: Medical Waste Management, Impact on Sustainable Development Goals, and Bibliometric Analysis

“…Although of the effectiveness of the aforementioned methods in controlling the environmental impacts of traditional wastes, medical wastes are hazardous materials and should be carefully treated compared with standard methods [28][29][30]. The COVID-19 pandemic started at the beginning of 2020, and it has rapidly spread throughout the world from the point where it was first reported at the beginning of December 2019 [31]. By the middle of March 2021, COVID-19 had almost completely spread throughout the entire world.…”
