Solar and wind generation grew at double-digit pace, with solar alone increasing by 31%. Still, that was not fast enough to meet higher electricity demand around the world that also drove up coal use. Coal use in power generation alone surpassed 10 Gt, accounting for a third of the total increase. Oil demand grew 1.3%

It’s largely counter to what the rest of the world is doing and begs the question of why Japan seems so intent on making hydrogen power work. In 2017, Japan became the first country in the world to release a national hydrogen strategy. Presently, the vast majority of hydrogen is produced using coal or natural gas as feedstocks.
