The amount of methane released into the atmosphere as a result of coal mining is likely approximately 50% higher than previously estimated, according to research presented at the recent annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union. The authors point out that less coal production doesn’t translate to less methane.

The goal covers carbon dioxide and methane emissions, the dominant greenhouse gases, from both electricity generation and gas infrastructure operations. Dominion currently has cut carbon emissions approximately 50% since 2005 and reduced methane emissions by nearly 25% since 2010. Transportation.

Factors contributing to the growth in energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2010. US carbon dioxide emissions from the consumption of fossil fuels were 5,638 million metric tons carbon dioxide (MMTCO 2 ) in 2010, an increase of 3.9% Since 1990, US carbon dioxide emissions have grown at an average annual rate of 0.6%.

With the exception of 2010, emissions have declined every year since 2007. The largest drop in emissions in 2012 came from coal, which is used almost exclusively for electricity generation. The regulations would make 65% of coal plants nationwide as expensive as natural gas, even if gas prices rise significantly.

A multi-Hubbert analysis of coal production by Tadeusz Patzek at The University of Texas at Austin and Gregory Croft at the University of California, Berkeley concludes that the global peak of coal production from existing coalfields will occur close to the year 2011. The CO 2 emissions from burning this coal will also decline by 50%.

This year’s edition highlights the growing divergence between demands for action on climate change and the actual pace of progress on reducing carbon emissions. The longer carbon emissions continue to rise, the harder and more costly will be the necessary eventual adjustment to net-zero carbon emissions.

CO 2 emissions from US coal-fired power plant could be phased out entirely by 2030 using existing technologies or ones that could be commercially competitive with coal within about a decade, according to a paper published online 30 April in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology.
