Utilities are delaying coal plant retirements and running them even when they cost more than renewable sources.

There are 206 coal-burning power plants left in the United States, which supply about 16 percent of the country’s energy. Experts say burning more doesn’t make financial sense.

Japan considers coal gasification a form of abatement, and thus in line with their commitments to phase out unabated coal power,” said Evan Gach, program coordinator at Kiko Network, a Japanese NGO. “But in reality,

Sasol is falling back on coal after encountering obstacles in its plan to pivot to natural gas and green hydrogen in its path to net zero by 2050.

The UN says the world needs to eliminate or offset all greenhouse gas emissions by midcentury to avoid more catastrophic impacts from climate change. Natural gas creates fewer emissions than coal when it's burned, but producing and transporting gas can ...

China’s fossil fuel power plants increased generation to a record last year, as the boom in clean energy failed to keep pace with surging electricity consumption in the world’s second-biggest economy.

Department of Energy (DOE) released updated versions of the 45VH2-GREET lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions model

Developed countries have a tighter deadline for achieving net-zero emissions that developing countries – which requires even faster growth of renewable energy – and all countries are behind schedule.

Less than a year ago, Rocky Mountain Power (RMP), PacifiCorp’s division in Idaho, Utah and Wyoming, said its Hunter and Huntington coal-fired would continue to burn coal until 2036 and 2042, respectively. Now their retirements could be pushed back even further.

China's mostly coal-based thermal power generation is set to fall in 2025 for the first time in a decade, some analysts estimate, though they caution that extreme weather or stronger than expected industrial growth could upend that forecast.

The Frozen Ground Under Threat Permafrost is like Earth's ancient freezer, stretching over vast regions, mainly near the North and South Poles. It holds soil, rocks, and sub-zero water, remaining frozen for two years or more.

Last November, at the G20 conference in Rio de Janeiro, Indonesia’s new president, Prabowo Subianto, vowed to bring forward by a decade the date at which Southeast Asia’s biggest economy would remove as much carbon from the atmosphere as it emits.
