In a new report, energy, mining and minerals consultancy Wood Mackenzie projects that despite efforts to limit coal consumption and seek alternative fuel options, China’s strong appetite for thermal coal will lead to a doubling of demand by 2030. It is very unlikely that demand for thermal coal in China will peak before 2030.

Underground coal gasification uses paired wells in a coal seam: one an oxidant injection well, the other the syngas producer well. CIRI), an Alaska Native corporation, is proposing an underground coal gasification (UCG) project that would use the resulting syngas to fuel a new 100 MW combined cycle power plant.

The orange increment, in the 20% EV and 100% EV cases, is from linking fuel efficiency standards. The controlled charging of EVs can reduce electricity costs and improve the integration of wind energy. The benefit per average vehicle is small at low to moderate EV adoption levels because EVs are a small fraction of the fleet.
