This decline was due almost entirely to a drop in coal consumption. Coal-fired power generation fell by a record 18% year-on-year to its lowest level since 1975. An increase in natural gas generation offset some of the climate gains from this coal decline, but overall power sector emissions still decreased by almost 10%.

The arrival of cheap battery storage will mean that it becomes increasingly possible to finesse the delivery of electricity from wind and solar, so that these technologies can help meet demand even when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining. Coal emerges as the biggest loser in the long run.

Cheap gas prices and a strong economy are creating increased goods movement and prompting Californians to drive more. Other transportation-related findings include: As of the end of 2016, about half of all zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) ever sold in the US were bought in California. billion in 2014, up 0.08% from the previous year.

The energy stored within hydrogen has been imparted from electrical energy through the electrolytic hydrogen production process or more likely in the refinement of fossil fuels such as coal seam (methane) gas – both are energy intensive processes in themselves. . The reasons are numerous. . Fletcher, S., Hill and Wang.

Making hydrocarbons out of CO 2 must overcome two challenges—chemical stability of the CO 2 molecule and a cheap and renewable hydrogen source. Proposed carbon capture and utilization (CCU) system based on catalytic CO 2 conversion to liquid hydrocarbon fuels with hydrogen supplied from solar water splitting. Source: Choi et al.

The F-T wax can be manufactured using renewable energy and any carbon-containing resources including biomass, CO 2 , natural gas, coal—and the resulting carbon residue from the hydrogen-depleted wax. Important efforts have been made previously to liberate pure hydrogen from the catalytic decomposition of the lightest alkane, methane.
