This was the result of growing renewable power generation, switches from coal to natural gas, improvements in energy efficiency, as well as structural changes in the global economy. The decline was driven by a surge in shale gas supplies and more attractive renewable power that displaced coal. Fatih Birol, the IEA’s executive director.

Coal accounted for 45% of total energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2011, followed by oil (35%) and natural gas (20%). China made the largest contribution to the global increase, with its emissions rising by 720 million tonnes (Mt), or 9.3%, primarily due to higher coal consumption. This represents an increase of 1.0 Gt on 2010, or 3.2%.

North America unconventional gas production will nearly triple by 2040 and the region is expected to surpass the combined output of Russia and the Caspian region as the largest gas-producing area. By 2040, natural gas is expected to account for more than a quarter of global energy use, surpassing coal in the overall mix.

Russia might even become, miraculously and temporarily, less intransigent, and Europe might then welcome status quo ante. Economically punishing Russia is difficult to do, for a variety of reasons. Russia’s energy resources are enormous and Europe’s dependence on them is deep and pervasive.

The new report, part of the World Energy Outlook (WEO) 2011 series, examines the key factors that could result in a more prominent role for natural gas in the global energy mix, and the implications for other fuels, energy security and climate change. Support for methanol fueling infrastructure should also be considered.

Furthermore, unlike coal and oil, it is a clean energy source that produces only water vapor and leaves no residue in the air. According to the International Energy Agency, global demand for hydrogen as a fuel has quadrupled since 1975, reaching 70 million tonnes per year in 2018.

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. Instead, the focus over the coming years will apparently be on including the vehicle’s battery as part of a local home or office area network.
