has been chosen to provide the coal gasification technology for the Taylorville Energy Center (TEC), a 730-megawatt (gross) advanced coal generating plant being developed near Taylorville, Ill. TEC will be one of the first commercial-scale, coal gasification plants with carbon capture and storage (CCS) capability in the US. .

Existing US policies that stress energy efficiency and alternative fuels, together with higher energy prices, will curb energy consumption growth and shift the energy mix toward renewable fuels, according to the reference case for the Annual Energy Outlook 2010 ( AEO2010 ) released by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Large scale production of methanol from natural gas and coal is a well-developed. Sufficient feedstock of natural gas and coal exists to enable the use of non-renewable methanol as a transition fuel to renewable methanol from biomass, they suggested. Methanol from non-renewable coal or natural gas could be used as a bridging.

Primary energy sources in model include fossil fuels (crude oil, natural gas, and coal); non-renewable non-fossil sources (nuclear); and renewable sources (hydroelectric, wind, solar, and biomass). energy security, rural development), the results presented here suggest that for the next few decades an increased availability of low-CO 2.

The scenarios take per capita energy demand from the A1F1 scenario, but assume slightly greater population growth and higher carbon intensity; one simulation assumes that fractional primary energy production remains at present day values while the other more extreme scenario assumes that all future energy demand is met by coal.
