Global demand for coal falls in 2016 for second year in a row

 

Coal usage has been declining globally. In some areas, it has fallen to levels we haven’t seen in 200 years. We can see the steady increase of clean energy worldwide as more countries fight to improve air quality and use less pollutants. That desire along with the lesser expenses associated with wind, solar, and natural gas are huge factors in the decrease of coal. On top of it all, everyone wants to be the leader in renewables. From usage to manufacturing the necessary parts, there are perks to this expansion for those that know how to work the market.

Renewables provide more than half UK electricity for first time

Solar panels at Worthy Farm, Somerset

 

The cost of renewable electricity production has come down faster than anyone has anticipated. In particular, the production from off shore turbines.

The days of high output are uncertain, which puts a strain on management of the electricity supply. This is exacerbated by the lack of storage (~1% comes from storage).

Without storage and with the uncertainty of what days will provide electricity, we still need coal plants and other traditional sources of electricity. Storage is the next technology piece that is needed to put us on a path of renewable energy usage at all times.

How Liquefied Natural Gas Will Transform Global Energy Markets

Liquefied natural gas, which can be moved by special tanker instead of through pipelines, is remaking the global energy market, according to WSJ Energy Expert Jason Bordoff.

When it comes to natural gas, you might be more familiar with its usage in homes as well as within power and manufacturing areas. It is also used as vehicle fuel with a lesser awareness but is becoming more common. By liquefying natural gas, we can now overcome the inconvenience we had with transporting it.

Due to America’s gas production increasing, we are now predicted to be in the top three by 2020 for natural gas exporters. The International Energy Agency predicts most of the worldwide long-distance gas trade will be by LNG rather than pipeline by 2040. This means more competition and will cause global gas markets to be better for the majority. The U.S. is predicted to emerge as a superpower and will better many aspects connected to the natural gas market.

U.S. Renewable Energy Jobs Employ 800,000+ People and Rising: in Charts


Where are U.S. renewable energy jobs?


Employment will always be a discussion worldwide. With the rise of renewable energy, the US has seen incredible growth within the solar and wind job sector. The numbers don’t lie.

As solar and wind power prices have fallen (some utilities say prices have dropped 75% in 5 years), jobs have grown quickly. Over the past three years, jobs doubled in the U.S. wind industry. In solar, jobs are up by 117,000 in the same amount of time.

However, the US is still trailing behind China, the EU, and even Brazil when it comes to total jobs in the renewable energy market. The consistent progression of clean energy over the past few years will hopefully continue to increase jobs as well as participation. At this rate, we will all be affected in some way by renewable energy.
