These results indicate that coal and oil are the energy sources leading to most emissions, and that hydro, wind, and nuclear are the energy sources leading to least emissions. On the two extremes, coal and oil result in about 176 times the emissions from hydro.

Results from the study also suggest that with sufficient coal plant retirement and sufficient wind power, controlled charging could result in positive net benefits instead of negative. High Wind Future: In this scenario, they modified the future case to add wind plants sufficient to produce 20% of generation.

According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), US electricity generation in 2010 was 70% fossil fuels (coal 44.9%, natural gas 23.8%); 20% nuclear; and 10% renewable, of which 6.2% Wind accounted for 2.3%. EIA forecasts that the mix in 2035 will shift to include 39% coal; 27% natural gas; and 16% renewables.

A novel process known as Syngas Chemical Looping (SCL), in which coal and biomass are converted to electricity and CO 2 is efficiently captured, has been successfully demonstrated on a laboratory scale. Energy Efficient Capture of CO 2 from Coal Flue Gas. Breakthrough High Efficiency Shrouded Wind Turbine. CARBON CAPTURE.

“I would say that electricity is a vastly superior fuel for the light vehicle fleet,” said Willett Kempton , a professor and alternative energy specialist at the University of Delaware. Are we going to burn more oil, natural gas, or (gasp) coal to produce it? Wind, solar and nuclear could easily change our electrical sources.
