A paper by a team from the University of Chicago and MIT suggests that technology-driven cost reductions in fossil fuels will lead to the continued use of fossil fuels—oil, gas, and coal—unless governments pass new taxes on carbon emissions. for oil, 24% for coal, and 20% for natural gas.

A new report from the National Research Council examines and, when possible, estimates, “hidden” costs of energy production and use—such as the damage air pollution imposes on human health—that are not reflected in market prices of coal, oil, other energy sources, or the electricity and gasoline produced from them.

Renewable energy was the main source of energy before the discovery of oil, coal, and natural gas. With the increasing threat of climate change, renewable energy has slowly but surely regained is prominence. Solar and wind are the easiest to locate, scale, and convert to energy.

The cost-effectiveness of measures to address climate change is enhanced through a multisector perspective. Primary energy sources in model include fossil fuels (crude oil, natural gas, and coal); non-renewable non-fossil sources (nuclear); and renewable sources (hydroelectric, wind, solar, and biomass).

Compared with burning coal, natural gas emits about half the carbon dioxide and substantially less soot, mercury and sulfur. Chemical Engineering’s Thomas Jaramillo is experimenting with electrochemically converting natural gas into higher-value products, like methanol. —Mark Zoback, a professor of geophysics and NGI’s director.

Other studies have shown the ability to convert CO 2 primarily to methane with a distribution of other hydrocarbons ( earlier post as one example).

Jenkins: Energy systems became globalized in the middle of the 20th century and then encountered global supply shocks, like the oil embargoes of the ’70s.

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. Oil is the alternative. Are we going to burn more oil, natural gas, or (gasp) coal to produce it? Alternative is no longer an alternative.

And I wasn’t interested in selling solar based on, “Hey it prevents oil,” you know. THE HOLY GRAIL OF SOLAR: $3 A WATT, CHEAPER THAN COAL. And at sub $3 you’re cheaper than coal. And people have no idea what’s coming with coal and what that’s going to cost them in electric bills. It was just too much of a nexus for me.
