Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions were flat for a third straight year in 2016 even as the global economy grew, according to the International Energy Agency. gigatonnes last year, the same as the previous two years, while the global economy grew 3.1%, according to estimates from the IEA.

World energy growth over the next twenty years is expected to be dominated by emerging economies such as China, India, Russia and Brazil while improvements in energy efficiency measures are set to accelerate, according to BP’s latest projection of energy trends, the BP Energy Outlook 2030. Coal will increase by 1.2%

IIASA: removing fossil fuel subsidies will not reduce CO2 emissions as much as hoped

That means that in some cases the removal of subsidies causes a switch to more emissions-intensive coal. The largest effects of removing subsidies were found in areas that export oil and gas, such as Russia, Latin America, and the Middle East and North Africa. The reason for this small overall effect is two-fold.

MIT Report Finds Natural Gas Has Significant Potential to Displace Coal, Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Role in Transportation More Limited

Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).

Global CO2 emissions increased from 15.3 to global power generation, a half per cent more than in 2007, thereby averting about 500 million tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2008. Coal consumption: lower increase due to financial crisis and more renewable electricity. Trends in the US, European Union, China, Russia and India.

With strong economic growth and continued heavy reliance on fossil fuels expected for most of the non-OECD economies, much of the increase in carbon dioxide emissions is projected to occur among the developing, non-OECD nations. As the world’s economies recover, higher world oil prices are assumed to return and to persist through 2030.

According to the IEA, this way of creating green hydrogen would avoid the 830 million tonnes of CO2 released annually when the hydrogen is produced using fossil fuels. Furthermore, unlike coal and oil, it is a clean energy source that produces only water vapor and leaves no residue in the air.

China is about to become the largest oil-importing country and India becomes the largest importer of coal by the early 2020s. High oil prices, persistent differences in gas and electricity prices between regions and rising energy import bills in many countries focus attention on the relationship between energy and the broader economy.

Under the WEO 2011 central scenario, oil demand rises from 87 million barrels per day (mb/d) in 2010 to 99 mb/d in 2035, with all the net growth coming from the transport sector in emerging economies. The passenger vehicle fleet doubles to almost 1.7 billion in 2035. While there is still time to act, the window of opportunity is closing.
