Asian utilities locked into coal as long-term contracts slow transition Asia’s shift towards cleaner energy is being hampered by decades-long coal power agreements that continue to bind utilities to fossil-fuel generation, even at times when cheaper renewable supplies are readily available.

Really great explainer here by @transitionzero.org with some intuitive graphics on what coal flexibility is and comparison across markets. Can't wait for part II! #gridflexibility #renewables #coaltransition

Coal didn’t disappear; it just moved. 🌍⚡ While Europe cut back, global coal use is still rising. Over 70 nations rely on it for power. Hear why coal’s story isn’t over yet. #EnergyRevolution #CleanEnergy #CoalTransition #NetZero #EnergyTransition

Two pieces of coal. Two stories. 🪨⚡ One fuels steelmaking in West Virginia. The other, from India, burns dirtier and cheaper. Coal isn’t just one thing; it’s an entire system that shapes global energy. #EnergyRevolution #CleanEnergy #CoalTransition #NetZero

If coal is dirty and outdated, why are we still using it? ⚡ It’s not just energy, it’s politics, jobs, and budgets. Replacing coal means rebuilding economies as well. #EnergyRevolution #CleanEnergy #CoalTransition #NetZero #EnergyTransition

Global Energy Monitor reports that repurposing abandoned coal mines into solar farms could yield nearly 300 GW of renewable energy, enough for a country like Germany. This shift could create over 500,000 jobs while aiding environmental restoration.

Hydrogen Gas Blend Will Reduce Power Plant’s Emissions by 75%–as it Helps Power 6 States A coal power plant in Utah is set for a green transformation having reached its decommissioning year, as billions are being set aside to use modernize it with hydrogen gas. A rare geologic feature underneath the plant will allow them to store the gas in copious amounts, making it the perfect place for that transformation […] The post Hydrogen Gas Blend Will Reduce Power Plant’s Emissions by 75%–as it Helps Power 6 States appeared first on Good News Network.

Renewable Energy Surpasses Coal in PJM Market Recent data reveals a significant shift in the regional electricity landscape, with renewable energy sources now surpassing coal generation in the PJM market. This market, serving West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and portions of 11 other states plus the District of Columbia, demonstrates that renewables produced approximately 11,800 megawatts compared to coal's output of under 11,700 megawatts, according to April figures. The primary catalyst for this change has been the rapid expansion of solar power. Solar energy achieved record-breaking peaks three times this month—April 1st, 16th, and 17th—surging past 11,000 megawatts for the first time and contributing almost 14% of the region's total electricity needs. While natural gas and nuclear power remain the leading sources of electricity within the PJM market, the growing influence of renewables is undeniable. The PJM market serves 65 million people and represents the largest regional electricity market in the country. Texas, a major natural gas producer, experienced a remarkable day on April 11th, receiving half of its power from utility-scale solar. This follows a record-breaking March for wind energy in the state. Despite efforts to bolster coal production, the market has increasingly favored natural gas and renewable energy.
