American Coal Council’s Post

About time that USA and World figure out how to use the enormous reserves of coal- Safely, Cleanly and Efficiently- for the betterment of mankind 

#Energytransition or regression? From wood, to #coal, to #oil, to #naturalgas, more efficient and cleaner burning fuels have been consumed without governmental subsidies or mandates while significantly reducing emissions. Insult to injury, wood pellets for this UK #power plant are sourced from North America?

We need to fast track on coal reduction while speeding up on other alternative green sources. The fetish for coal has to come down at any cost. https://lnkd.in/g6wGtdB8

Global CO2 Emissions Reached Record High in 2023: Coal accounted for 65% of the total growth in CO2 emissions in 2023, with the largest increase globally taking place in China. https://lnkd.in/eBDQd5CQ #naturalgas #cncmachining #metal3dprinting #LNG #powderbedfusion #cleanenergy

#Hydrogen heating | Ongoing uncertainty over #H2's future role may be harming #decarbonisation: watchdog National Audit Office suggests the #UK government should bring forward a planned 2026 decision on the use of hydrogen in #heating to help stimulate demand for heat pumps #heating #cleanheat #decarbonization #heatpumps #boilers #heat https://lnkd.in/eXj4hJRX

The move is expected to bring a spotlight on big coal-using countries, mainly India and China, where the share of #coal in their electricity production was 74% and 61%, respectively in 2022. #ClimateChange

Global coal consumption by region from 1965 to 2023, highlighting Asia's continued role in driving demand. https://lnkd.in/e3yzzU56 via Visual Capitalist #energy #coal #emissions

The reliability of electricity in #Bangladesh remains a major barrier to efforts in garment sector to #electrifyeverything. Daily power cuts mean most factories rely on onsite fossil gas generators. So more base load grid power is good … however in a grid that is already 98.5% fossil fuel (according to Ember ) adding more #coal makes the challenge of #decarbonising garment production even more challenging. Is there a pipeline for more fossil projects? Is there any serious effort to question if this is the best way forward? #dumpcoal https://lnkd.in/ghiFJme8

Much of the recent rise in global CO2 emissions can be attributed to China’s new coal plants. Hopefully this will now end. https://lnkd.in/er55M-Qa

It takes 4,982,000 btu of natural gas per ton of cement... At 36,303 btu per cubic meter and 0.76 kg per cubic meter of natural gas, that’s just over 0.1 tons of natural gas. When that burns, it creates just under .3 tons of CO2. That of course comes with a chaser of leaking methane, about 0.14 tons of CO2e. Double all of that if you include the #GHG emissions from the limestone to quicklime process... #CO2Emissions #EUClimatePolicy #LowCarbonEconomy #IndustrialEmissions #CarbonPrice
