2017, Cleaning, Coal and Oil

BloombergNEF: clean energy investment in developing nations slumps as financing in China slows; coal burn surges to record high

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 26, 2019

New investment in wind, solar, and other clean energy projects in developing nations dropped sharply in 2018, largely due to a slowdown in China. This is due to wind and solar projects generating only when natural resources are available while oil, coal, and gas plants can potentially produce around the clock. thousand in 2017.

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. Though the hope is that there will come future technologies allowing humanity to isolate the chemical element in clean, efficient ways.

About two-thirds of China’s methanol feedstock is produced from coal and the remainder from coking gas (a by-product of steel production) and natural gas. MTG units involve high capital costs and are only cost-competitive when oil prices are high.
