Photo: China News Service Renewable energy costs in Asia last year were 13% cheaper than coal and are expected to be 32% cheaper by 2030, according to a new study. This is significant because it marks a shift toward making renewables increasingly competitive with coal, a mainstay in APAC’s energy mix.

Steel is responsible for around 7% of man-made greenhouse gas emissions every year and is one of the world’s most polluting industries. Converting a significant portion of the fleet to hydrogen would require more DRI plants and more electric furnaces. Retrofit or close any remaining coal-fired capacity by 2050.

Wind farms stand idle for days on end, a fire interrupts a vital cable from France, a combination of post-Covid economic recovery and Russia tightening supply means the gas price has shot through the roof – and so the market price of both home heating and electricity is rocketing. Climate Change. This was plain wrong.

When I was studying China and Mandarin Chinese 35 years ago, “Red” China was unrecognized by the US, literally, and dark in a way difficult to imagine now. For a while, gas scooters held sway piled high with people and products. And most of the scooters are now electric. I’m sure I’m not the first to say it.

Overview of the bluegas catalytic coal methanation process. The projects would be developed using GreatPoint’s proprietary bluegas technology, which utilizes catalytic hydromethanation to create pure hydrogen and substitute natural gas (SNG) that is pipeline-ready in a single-stage gasification process.

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. Natural gas demand grows strongly and overtakes coal as the second largest source of energy. Oil and gas together account for over half of the world’s energy.
