Coal accounted for 45% of total energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2011, followed by oil (35%) and natural gas (20%). China made the largest contribution to the global increase, with its emissions rising by 720 million tonnes (Mt), or 9.3%, primarily due to higher coal consumption. This represents an increase of 1.0 Gt on 2010, or 3.2%.

The targeted coal seams are in the Pratt, Mary Lee, and Black Creek Coal groups within the upper Pottsville Formation and range from 940 to 1,800 feet in depth and from 1 to 6 feet in thickness. Coal in the Black Warrior Basin has the potential to sequester 1.1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas from these coal seams.

Assuming no changes in policy related to greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide emissions grow slowly, but do not again reach 2005 levels until 2027. After falling 3% in 2008 and nearly 7% in 2009, largely driven by the economic downturn, energy-related CO 2 emissions do not return to 2005 levels (5,980 million metric tons) until 2027.

The crop-to-electricity conversion model assumes that half of the biomass is converted in biomass boilers and the other half is co-combusted with coal to generate electricity. The PV system life cycle is based on 2005 technology and production data. The life cycle mileage of both vehicles is assumed to be 240,000 km (149,000 miles).

Rising long-term natural gas prices, the high capital costs of new coal and nuclear generation capacity, state-level policies, and cost reductions for renewable generation in a market characterized by relatively slow electricity demand growth favor increased use of renewables. Renewables meet much of the growth in electricity demand.

Oil alternatives can also be water intensive: ethanol from non-irrigated crops is comparable to oil sands mining, and options like coal-to-liquids can use 10 barrels of water per barrel of product, according to IHS CERA. The current footprint of mining operations is about 200 square miles (518 square kilometers).
