Coal`s share of global energy mix to continue rising, with coal closing in on oil as world`s top energy source by 2017
Coal's share of the global energy mix continues to rise, and by 2017 coal will come close to surpassing oil as the world's top energy source, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said today as it released its annual Medium-Term Coal Market Report (MCMR). Although the growth rate of coal slows from the breakneck pace of the last decade, global coal consumption by 2017 stands at 4.32 billion ...

A greener way to get electricity from natural gas
A new type of natural-gas electric power plant proposed by MIT researchers could provide electricity with zero carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere, at costs comparable to or less than conventional natural-gas plants, and even to coal-burning plants. But that can only come about if and when a price is set on the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases — a step the U.S. ...

$14 Trillion to be spent on Power Plant Equipment and Repairs in the Next 25 Years
Nuclear capacity is slated to increase from 392 GW in 2013 to more than 620 GW in 2040. But its share of global power generation will rise just one percentage point to 12 percent, because almost 200 reactors of the 434 operational at the end of 2013 will be retired, they will need to be offset by new power plants. Total investment will exceed $2 trillion over the next 25 years. The gas turbine ...

An industry first: SNC-Lavalin successfully integrates a commercial post-combustion CCUS system into a coal-fired power plant
SaskPower recently set a precedent when it fired up a commercial-grade carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) system at its Boundary Dam power plant in Saskatchewan. It’s the first time that a CCUS system of this size has ever been retrofitted into a coal-fired plant anywhere in the world. SNC-Lavalin was proud to provide complete EPC and training services for the project’s ...

Emissions from solar power technologies continue to fall
Photovoltaic (PV) technologies which harness solar energy in solar power installations are making rapid progress. The latest life cycle analysis of four current PV systems shows a trend for all of these to have significant and increasing environmental benefits in terms of reducing emissions compared with conventional electricity production. All forms of electricity generation create emissions at ...

$2.5 Trillion Investment In New Coal-fired Plants In The Next 25 Years
World coal-fired power generation capacity will rise from 1.3 million MW in 2006, to 1.7 million MW in 2011, and to 2.7 million MW in 2030. This will require more than 1.7 million MW of new coal-fired construction to account for retirements as well as growth. The investment in these new plants will exceed $2.5 trillion. This is the prediction in the new McIlvaine online continuously updated, ...
