Coal consumption: lower increase due to financial crisis and more renewable electricity. Global emissions from coal consumption increased by 3.5%, which was less than in previous years, where average annual increases were about 5%. Trends in the US, European Union, China, Russia and India. and from 19.5 respectively.

In an opinion piece in the journal Nature , a team from the US and Europe suggests that the transition to a low-carbon world will create new rivalries, winners and losers, and that it is therefore necessary to put geopolitics at the heart of debates about the energy transition. abating carbon will create losers.

Compared with burning coal, natural gas emits about half the carbon dioxide and substantially less soot, mercury and sulfur. Idle natural gas import terminals are being retooled to export liquefied natural gas to Asia and Europe, which is looking to lessen its dependence on Russia for natural gas.

Projected growth in world carbon dioxide emissions. World carbon dioxide emissions are projected to rise from 29.0 The key engines of growth in the projection are the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), which account for more than two-thirds of the developing world’s growth in industrial energy use through 2030.

PwC analysis finds a need for global carbon intensity to drop an average of 5.1% The analysis is based on a carbon budget that would stabilize atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at 450 ppm and give a 50% probability of limiting warming to 2 °C. —Leo Johnson, Partner, Sustainability and Climate Change, PwC.

China is about to become the largest oil-importing country and India becomes the largest importer of coal by the early 2020s. Together, these changes represent a re-orientation of energy trade from the Atlantic basin to the Asia-Pacific region, according to the report’s scenario. —WEO-2013.

Without a bold change of policy direction, the IEA warned at the launch, the world will lock itself into an insecure, inefficient and high-carbon energy system. The use of coal—which met almost half of the increase in global energy demand over the last decade—rises 65% by 2035. —WEO 2011.

The vision is fuelled by the fear of climate change and the need to find green alternatives to dirty coal, unpopular nuclear power and unreliable gas imports from Russia. Are we going to burn more oil, natural gas, or (gasp) coal to produce it? The only question is a carbon TAX the kind of change Obama believes in.
