The amount of methane released into the atmosphere as a result of coal mining is likely approximately 50% higher than previously estimated, according to research presented at the recent annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union. The authors point out that less coal production doesn’t translate to less methane.

in 2019 based on preliminary energy and economic data. This decline was due almost entirely to a drop in coal consumption. Coal-fired power generation fell by a record 18% year-on-year to its lowest level since 1975. Emissions from buildings, industry and other parts of the economy rose, though less than in 2018.

During the COP28 climate conference held in Dubai last month, world leaders from over 130 national governments agreed to set a goal to triple world renewable energy installations by 2030. Success in meeting the tripling goal will hinge on this.”

The energy companies also agreed to encourage others across the natural gas value chain—from production to the final consumer—to do the same. Numerous studies have shown the importance of quickly reducing methane emissions if we’re to meet growing energy demand and multiple environmental goals.

After growing by more than 2% in 2019, global gas use is set to fall by around 4% in 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic reduces energy consumption across the global economies. The pandemic has created disruption in the global energy sector, but low gas prices will ultimately stimulate demand growth as the economy recovers.

US energy-related CO 2 emissions declined by 2.8% in 2019 to 5,130 million metric tons (MMmt), according to data in the US Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Monthly Energy Review. The changes in US energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2019 offset the increase in 2018. CO 2 emissions had increased by 2.9%

This decrease was driven largely by a decrease in emissions from fossil fuel combustion resulting from a decrease in total energy use in 2019 compared to 2018 and a continued shift from coal to natural gas and renewables in the electric power sector. CO 2 emissions decreased 2.2% from 2018 to 2019.
