The decline of coal use in the European Union and United States is overshadowed by surging natural gas and oil use around the world, according to the researchers. Although still a major factor in global emissions, coal has taken a hit, with global usage down 0.9% Coal use should drop a further 10% in the E.U.

Rice University researchers have determined a more effective way to use natural gas to reduce climate-warming emissions would be in the replacement of existing coal-fired power plants and fuel-oil furnaces rather than burning it in cars and buses. However, residential uses and exports of natural gas were not considered in those comparisons.

The Japanese government certainly plays a large role here and has been advocating for hydrogen power for years — much, in the same way, China, Europe, and (to a lesser extent) the United States have been pushing all-electric vehicles. Presently, the vast majority of hydrogen is produced using coal or natural gas as feedstocks.
