BNEF, Snam, IGU report finds global gas industry set to resume growth post-pandemic; low-carbon technologies for long-term growth

However, the resulting low gas prices, as well as clean air and climate policies, will promote further switching to gas from other more polluting energy sources, such as oil and coal. The pandemic has created disruption in the global energy sector, but low gas prices will ultimately stimulate demand growth as the economy recovers.

Your Greenius opines that today’s oil, coal and gas companies are the modern equivalent of pre civil war plantation owners raking in massive profits off the backs of black slaves and treating them worse than the slave owners in Jhango Unchained did. Maybe because they never have or maybe because they believe it’s worth it.

JANUARY 17, 2015

The report, “ Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2014 ”, concludes that biomass, hydropower, geothermal and onshore wind are all competitive with or cheaper than coal, oil and gas-fired power stations, even without financial support and despite falling oil prices. The average cost of wind energy ranges from US$0.06/kWh kWh in Africa.

The RCPs were chosen to represent a broad range of climate outcomes, based on a literature review. These gases come from human activities such as combustion of coal and oil as well as natural sources such as emissions from plants. In fact, 90% of the time, ozone levels would range from 27 to 55 ppb. The RCP 8.5 Pfister, G.

Sasol and UCT researchers collaborate on the use of commercial iron catalysts to convert hydrogen and CO2 into green jet fuel and chemicals

SEPTEMBER 7, 2021

This development is a significant step towards the implementation of CO 2 hydrogenation technology in South Africa. For decades, Sasol has been using its Fischer-Tropsch (FT) technology to convert low-grade coal and gas into synthetic fuels and chemicals. Sasol’s suite of cobalt catalysts is highly efficient for the latter process.

BP outlook: Energy demand grows as fuel mix continues to diversify; EVs in global car parc at 15% by 2040, but electric share of VMT at 30%

The speed of the energy transition is uncertain and the new Outlook considers a range of scenarios. The global energy mix is the most diverse the world has ever seen by 2040, with oil, gas, coal and non-fossil fuels each contributing around a quarter. Even so, coal remains the largest source of energy in power generation by 2040.

So let me get this straight - while those of us who are trying to lead greener lives, have been cutting our carbon footprints and working with our cities, states and the rest of the USA to help them do likewise, Killer Coal has been playing us for chumps and wiping out all our efforts every single second of every day.

Scientists and engineers have extended the range of EVs by cramming ever more energy into their batteries, and vehicle charging networks have expanded in many countries. 70 percent of lithium-ion batteries are produced in China, which derived 64 percent of its electricity from coal in 2020. But coal use varies, even within China.

Experts predict that by the year 2060 global warming, if left unchecked, could result in a temperature rise of seven degrees Fahrenheit higher than temperatures before the Industrial Revolution when man started widespread use of coal and other fossil fuels. The fact is, about half the world’s electricity comes from coal.
