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 MIT report said that natural gas should be seen as a “ bridge ” to a low-carbon regime, rather than as the ultimate long-term solution itself. MIT: The Future of Natural Gas. Separately, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released its own report exploring the potential for a “golden age” of gas. Source: IEA.

It will appear in Europe next year as the Opel Ampera and in Australia as the Holden Volt in 2012. One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. Interesting in any case.
