Poor man's fuel: The future for coal is in the developing world. Used properly, it could power social, economic and environmental advance VIEWPOINT: RON KNAPP
Coal currently contributes around 26 per cent of the total global primary energy demand, a key input for the steel and cement industries (over 500m tonnes of coal is used annually by the global steel industry alone) and a competitive fuel generating 37 per cent of world electricity. The total electricity figure camouflages big variations from country to country: in Japan, coal's share is around 15 per cent, in the US it is around 56 per cent and in China, India, Poland and South Africa it is over 75 per cent. EU member countries obtain around 27 per cent of their electricity from coal. Future demand for coal will be dominated by the Asian region and this is where the greatest efficiency gains can be made - the net plant efficiency of coal-fired power generation in non-OECD countries is as much as 10 per cent lower than the 36 per cent average in the OECD and even further adrift from the 45 per cent further efficiency that is being achieved with advanced technologies. Boosting coal combustion efficiency from 30 per cent to 40 per cent results in a CO2 reduction of 25 per cent per unit of energy produced. Average global efficiency of coal utilisation is struggling to reach 25 per cent. State of the art plants are operating at above 40 per cent efficiency and further improvements are being developed.
