barely rises in OECD countries, although there is a pronounced shift away from oil, coal (and, in some countries, nuclear) towards natural gas and renewables. Nearly half of the increase in production to 2035 is from unconventional gas, with most of this coming from the United States, Australia and China. Energy demand. Renewables.

It is reduced by 900 Mtce to 4600 Mtce in AIS in 2050, a cumulative energy reduction of 26 billion tonnes of coal equivalent from 2005 to 2050. Under CIS, China’s per capita energy use will be below South Korea and Spain in 2050 while under ERI’s base scenario, China will be well below the per capita energy use in Australia and France.

Simplified flowsheet of the proposed solar hybridized coal- to-liquids (SCTL) process with the proposed solar hybridized dual fluidized bed (SDFB) gasifier. Hence, it is desirable to seek alternative concepts with potential to address these challenges for the solar hybridized coal-to-liquids (SCTL) process. Credit: ACS, Guo et al.

Manufacturing an EV battery using coal-based electricity results in more than three times the greenhouse-gas emissions of manufacturing a battery with electricity from renewable sources. 70 percent of lithium-ion batteries are produced in China, which derived 64 percent of its electricity from coal in 2020.

So imagine a million electric cars on US roads which all need to change these batteries in say 2015. Even if you charge your EV with electricity made from coal fired generators you reduce your car’s pollution by half. The huge hill of used batteries represents a major problem with the toxic acid and lead inside.
