Despite a global transition towards more renewable sources of energy, coal remains important in the global energy landscape, with global coal demand having reached about 8.8-billion tons in 2024

Indian state electricity distributors are signing long-term contracts with coal-fired power generators to meet a projected surge in evening demand, despite the country’s efforts to expand clean energy capacity.

Coal and renewables can coexist to support a stable power supply through the use of modern technologies.

This is useful fossil fuel is moving with the times by adopting modern technologies. And let us not forget the importance of baseload power.

German power utility RWE said it has pulled out of Namibia’s $10 billion Hyphen green ammonia venture, dealing a setback to the southern African nation’s ambitions to become a leading hydrogen hub.

The stunning scale of Australia’s renewables rollout can be ­revealed: 1000 projects costing $1.33 trillion, including 25,000 more wind towers with 45,000km of associated roads, and 250 million solar panels on 406,000ha.

Let all the qualifying comments flow…oh it’s only half that because fossils lose it to wasted heat. But solar grew a 1000% in this country. But we installed 100x more new wind and solar generation. But the forecast says this is all going to be different next year or next decade.
