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. from coal. Energy source. Natural gas. Natural gas. Geothermal.

Noting that coal accounts for roughly 25% of the world energy supply and 40% of the carbon emissions. Chu said that it was highly unlikely that the US, Russia, China and India, which account for two-thirds of the coal reserves, “ will turn their back on coal anytime soon.”.for At geological storage densities of CO 2 (0.6

Compared with burning coal, natural gas emits about half the carbon dioxide and substantially less soot, mercury and sulfur. Such fuels could lower greenhouse gas emissions from transportation compared with gasoline and diesel fuel. —Mark Zoback, a professor of geophysics and NGI’s director.

In contrast to the “green light” for coal-to-NG substitution for power generation, the authors suggest that climate benefits from vehicle fuel substitution are uncertain (gasoline, light-duty) or improbable (diesel, heavy-duty). Modeling has shown climate benefits from coal to NG switching for power generation over all time periods (i.e.,
