Wood Mackenzie: China thermal coal demand to double to nearly 7btpa by 2030

Green Car Congress

In a new report, energy, mining and minerals consultancy Wood Mackenzie projects that despite efforts to limit coal consumption and seek alternative fuel options, China’s strong appetite for thermal coal will lead to a doubling of demand by 2030. Wood Mackenzie’s report says this will have a limited impact on coal demand.

SRI developing process for co-gasification of methane and coal to produce liquid transportation fuels; negligible water consumption, no CO2

Green Car Congress

Researchers from SRI International (SRI) are developing a methane-and-coal-to-liquids process that consumes negligible amounts of water and does not generate carbon dioxide. If biogas is substituted for conventional natural gas, total GHG emissions can further significantly reduced (190 gCO 2 /mile). Lifecycle GHG comparison.

ArcelorMittal investigates hydrogen-based direct reduction of iron ore for steel production; CDA

Green Car Congress

The Hamburg plant already has one of the most efficient production processes of the ArcelorMittal Group due to the use of natural gas in a direct reduction plant (DRI, direct reduced iron). The project costs amount to around €65 million (US$73 million). The use of hydrogen as a reducing agent shall now be tested in a new shaft furnace.
