Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).

The past five years have seen an average of $266 billion per year invested in clean energy worldwide. In the UK, for instance, DECC’s Energy Trends, published last week, show coal-fired production down by 11.5TWh in Q3 2014 over the same quarter in 2013, a reduction of 43%, with gas gaining 8.0TWh and renewables 2.6TWh.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed the first Clean Air Act standard for CO 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from new power plants. Although emissions vary by plant and with the specific type of fuel, EPA provided illustrative examples of CO 2 emissions from EGUs: Conventional coal: 1,800 lbs CO 2 /MWh.

Without the CAFE standard and stimulus monies to promote green vehicle tech, the industry would not be headed toward a greener horizon. These companies have sunk costs invested in coal, gas and oil plants and are content in maximizing the return on these investments.

This is also equivalent to the amount of CO 2 emitted from 20 coal-fired power plants in a year. The net cost analysis assumed an average price of $2.50 per gallon of diesel fuel, and assumed that the annual mileage declines as the vehicle ages.
