China’s Economic Miracle is Powered by Coal

The following opinion editorial is written by Peabody Energy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Greg Boyce.

China’s 12th five-year plan for coal demonstrates the essential role that 21st Century coal plays in the energy, economic and environmental future of the world’s second-largest economy.

IEA: Coal Has Essential Role in Global Energy Mix

Coal plays an essential role in our global energy mix, particularly by fueling power generation that can help alleviate energy poverty. The use of coal continues to grow rapidly and will continue, together with other fuels, to support economic and social development around the world.

The Costs of CO2 Capture, Transport and Storage

The companies, scientists, academics and environmental NGOs that together make up the Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) have undertaken a ground-breaking study into the costs of CO2 Capture, Transport and Storage (CCS). The conclusion: following the European Union’s CCS demonstration programme, CCS will be cost-competitive with other sources of low-carbon power.

Coal Hard Facts

Jay Apt, Carnegie Mellon University, Electricity Industry Center:
"You need firm power to fill in when the wind doesn't blow. There's just no getting around that. Some combination of more gas- or coal-fired generation, or nuclear power, will be needed. Demand response can provide a significant buffering of the power fluctuations coming from wind. Interacting widely scattered wind farms cannot provide smooth power."
