С 2017 года добыча угля в России стабильно превышает 400 миллионов тонн в год. Из них больше половины поставляется за рубеж, на экспорт. За последние восемь лет объём экспортных поставок вырос более чем на треть.

After hitting a low in April, global emissions rebounded strongly and rose above 2019 levels in December.

Natural gas will overtake coal in 2025 and become the largest global primary energy source by 2047, with oil plateauing around 2040 and then beginning its irreversible decline

The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) projects that solar and wind will form 51% of India’s total installed capacity, or 420GW, by 2030, with biomass and small hydro adding another 30GW, while the IEA’s India Energy Outlook 2021 says that India could add 900GW of renewable capacity by 2040.

China had the highest gain in coal imports from the U.S. among the top destinations in the fourth quarter of 2020. The Asian country imported 1.0 Mt of coal from the U.S. during the period, a 251.8% increase year over year and a 748.2% jump quarter over quarter.

Fossil fuels are expected to dominate the primary energy mix thru 2040, even in scenarios where countries meet the Paris Agreement’s climate goals.

Combined, they accounted for or 22,451 megawatts (MW) or more than three-quarters (78.09%) of the 28,751 MW of new utility-scale capacity reported to have been added last year. Wind (13,626 MW) and solar (8,543 MW) each contributed more new generating capacity than did natural gas (6,259 MW).

An expanding economy, population, urbanisation and industrialisation mean that India sees the largest increase in energy demand of any country, across all of our scenarios to 2040.

China reportedly put 30 GW of new coal capacity online in 2020, with 88 GW of coal power under construction and 247 GW under development.

The evolution to a more digital and carbon-free grid and industry will continue.

Petroleum remains the most-consumed fuel in the United States, as energy-related carbon dioxide emissions dip through 2035 before climbing in later years.

Poland currently produces most of its electricity from coal and is the only EU member state that has not joined the commitment to achieve climate neutrality by 2050,

The hydrocarbon beast doesn’t need to be starved, but a diet might be a good idea.

Coal accounts for 35% of Vietnam’s installed capacity, with nearly 20 GW (end of 2019). More than 10 GW of coal projects are currently under construction and 24 GW under development.

South Africa intends to launch three tenders for 6.8 GW of renewable energy sources and 5 GW of new coal, gas, and storage projects in 2021-2022.
