Demand will not be eliminated but if we're not burning oil hand over fist then demand, and the income of OPEC, will drop dramatically.
I agree that particular coals, for example the stuff needed for steel making, might still be in demand. That's why it was daft to let CO2 related arguments delay the mine in Cumbria that's fulfilling exactly that market.
