International coal use to surge 53% by 2030

While in Asia, it remains as the primary fuel source, accounting for almost 75% of electricity generation.

Coal plays an essential role in meeting global energy needs. International coal use is projected to increase 53 percent by 2030. In Asia, coal accounts for almost 75% of electricity generation national, and is most likely to remain the principal fuel source in the future (predict estimate to rise over 60% after 2020). Meanwhile, about one-fifth of the emissions reductions needed to cut the global output of greenhouse gases 50 percent by 2050 would have to come from CCS technology at coal-fired power plants, according to the International Energy Agency. The latest technologies for the clean use of coal will help to meet the challenges of our energy future.

What is more, Gasification technology has become a critical tool in the expansion of the Chinese economy, allowing a wide variety of industrial products and fuels to be created from low-cost abundant coal resources. The advancement of coal-conversion and coal-generation technologies represents a meaningful positive long-term development for the coal industry. The U.S., India, Russia, Mongolia are positioning clean coal as the way to tap into the future energy development.
