2000 CO2 Coal Gas-Electric 
Green Car Congress
MARCH 27, 2017
Specific circumstances, such as the very warm fourth quarter of 2015 and relatively low natural gas prices, put downward pressure on emissions as natural gas was substituted for coal in electricity generation. Transportation-related CO2 emissions increased by 38 million metric tons (MMmt) (2.1%) in 2015.

The United States remain one of the largest emitters of CO2, with 17.3 tonnes per capita, despite a decline due to the recession in 2008-2009, high oil prices and an increased share of natural gas. Natural gas consumption increased globally by 2.2% Coal consumption in China increased by 9.7% tonnes per capita. Japan (4%).

Global CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel use and cement production reached a new all-time high in 2013, according to the annual report “Trends in global CO2 emissions”, released by PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the European Joint Research Centre (JRC). The much lower emissions increase in China of 4.2% in 2013 and 3.4%

This would tend to put upward pressure on electricity demand and related emissions. A carbon intensity decline in the electric power sector (-4.0%) which accounted for 40% of total U.S. and 3.2%, respectively) as these sectors rely heavily on electricity to meet their energy needs.

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has released a new report, State-Level Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2000-2010. For example, some states are located near abundant hydroelectric supplies, while others contain abundant coal resources. From 2000 to 2010, CO 2 emissions fell in 32 states and rose in 18 states.

The idea is to replace the blast furnaces with an alternative process, using hydrogen produced from “clean” electricity. The specific investment and operating costs of direct reduction plants are low compared to integrated steel plants and are more suitable for many developing countries where supplies of coking coal are limited.
