They used a lot more coal than they originally admitted to, several hundred million tons more. Another major shift is that China has become a voracious energy importer, especially of coal and liquefied natural gas. Like the United States, China has become among the world’s largest importers of oil, gas and coal.

Analysts at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed harmonized meta-analyses of lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions from coal, wind, solar and other energy technologies. Also helping with the findings were subcontractors and researchers from the DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Also, using renewable electricity to replace electricity produced by carbon-intensive energy sources, for example, coal, would likely result in a greater reduction in emissions than using that electricity to convert CO 2 into liquid fuels.

In the US, a combination of demand reduction and displacement of coal-fired power by gas-fired generation is the lowest cost way to reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 50%. At least for the near term, that would entail facilitating energy demand reduction and displacement of some coal generation with natural gas.
