World Coal market outlook according to 'World Energy Outlook' magazine 2015 edition.
Created for presentation in MSc Energy Engineering course on coal market.
- Coal currently produces 62% of the world's electricity and is the most abundant fossil fuel, with enough reserves to last 200 years. However, coal also has significant disadvantages, including dangerous mining practices, major carbon emissions contributing to climate change, and air pollution from transporting and burning coal.
- The top five countries by coal reserves are the United States, Russia, China, Australia, and India. Under the New Policies Scenario, global coal demand is projected to grow slowly by 0.4% per year on average to 2040 due to policies supporting renewable energy. China's coal imports are expected to decline over 50% by 2040 as its demand shifts.
This document provides an introduction to non-conventional energy sources. It discusses the need to transition away from fossil fuels to renewable sources due to fears of fossil fuel exhaustion. It then defines different forms of energy and explains the law of conservation of energy. The document goes on to classify energy sources as primary, secondary, and supplementary. It provides examples and characteristics of various non-conventional energy sources including solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, tidal, and hydroelectric energy.
GEOG 102 discusses energy resources. It begins by defining energy and examining humanity's changing usage of different energy sources over time. Major sources include fossil fuels like coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Coal formed from decayed plant matter and fueled the early Industrial Revolution. Petroleum is extracted from sedimentary basins and powers much of transportation. Natural gas is composed primarily of methane and other hydrocarbons. The document also addresses challenges around ensuring a stable energy supply and developing more environmentally friendly sources.
Coal remains a central part of the global energy system, accounting for around 40% of global electricity production. It is expected to replace oil as the world's largest source of primary energy in the coming years. Coal reserves are estimated at 869 billion tonnes globally, which at current production rates should last around 115 years. China is the largest coal producer, consumer, and importer. Developing countries are expected to drive a 50% increase in global coal use by 2030 to meet growing energy demand and support development goals like improving electrification rates and reducing energy poverty. Technologies like high-efficiency plants and carbon capture and storage can help reduce the environmental impacts of increased coal use.
Refining the Business Case for Sustainable Energy ProjectsBiomatica BV
Refining the Business Case for Sustainable Energy Projects Using Palisade @RISK and Precision Tree: A Biofuel Plant Case Study
Scott Mongeau
Biomatica
The sustainable energy industry sits at the nexus of growth and change: the popular groundswell for ‘green initiatives’, ongoing debates concerning global warming / climate change, fickle government incentives, the quest for renewable and alternative sources, expansion in developing economies, and the rapid emergence of new technologies. Sustainable energy industry sectors such as biofuel, solar, wind power each have unique selling points as well as practical challenges. Across the board, profit margins are uncertain and tight, demanding detailed analysis and complex business cases. Palisade\'s DecisionTools Suite is an ideal vehicle for conducting the deep analysis needed to separate the hype and ‘wishful vibes’ from the real risks and tangible profit cases needed to ‘green light’ sustainability projects.
Sustainable energy’s central competitor and sometimes partner, the petroleum majors, have distinct advantages, having established, streamlined supply chains and being embedded into the global economy. However, traditional petroleum exploration is going to increasingly extreme and risky lengths to locate and exploit new reserves (i.e. Athabasca Oil Sands, deep sea drilling, project development in politically unstable regions). The petroleum majors are dedicated users of the Palisade DecisionTools Suite to make their increasingly complex and risky business cases.
This presentation asserts that an energy development ‘risk / reward parity’ level is growing between new petroleum exploration and sustainable energy initiatives. The presentation uses a biofuel plant case study as an example of how a profitable business case can be made for a sustainable energy project using techniques commonly applied in petroleum exploration and engineering initiatives. The biofuel industry is expected to multiply its production by a factor of 50 by 2020. The uncertainties of government subsidy, tax credits, and loan guarantees are crucial to meeting biofuel profit margins. Stochastic analysis greatly improves the ability to pinpoint risk and to identify mitigation strategies.

GEOG 102 discusses energy resources and covers three main topics: energy, conventional energy resources, and alternative energy resources. Under conventional energy resources, it summarizes coal, petroleum, natural gas, hydropower, and nuclear power. Coal formed from decayed plant matter and fueled the industrial revolution. Petroleum is formed from decayed plants and is a highly utilized resource, especially for transportation. Natural gas, hydropower, and nuclear power are also described as major conventional energy sources.
This document discusses coal's role in Japan's energy policy. It notes that Japan imports nearly all of its coal, mainly from Australia and Indonesia. Global coal demand is expected to increase significantly by 2035, especially in developing nations. While coal prices have been stable, competition for coal resources is increasing worldwide. The document also examines Japan's energy mix, coal supply security concerns, trends in carbon capture and storage technologies, and policies to promote cleaner coal utilization.

"Refining the Business Case for Sustainable Energy Projects Using Palisade @Risk and Precision Tree: A Biofuel Plant Case Study"
The sustainable energy industry sits at the nexus of growth and change: the popular groundswell for ‘green initiatives’, ongoing debates concerning global warming / climate change, fickle government incentives, the quest for renewable and alternative sources, expansion in developing economies, and the rapid emergence of new technologies. Sustainable energy industry sectors such as biofuel, solar, wind power each have unique selling points as well as practical challenges. Across the board, profit margins are uncertain and tight, demanding detailed analysis and complex business cases. Palisade Decision Tools Suite is an ideal vehicle for conducting the deep analysis needed to separate the hype and ‘wishful vibes’ from the real risks and tangible profit cases needed to ‘green light’ sustainability projects.
Sustainable energy’s central competitor and sometimes partner, the petroleum majors, have distinct advantages, having established, streamlined supply chains and being embedded into the global economy. However, traditional petroleum exploration is going to increasingly extreme and risky lengths to locate and exploit new reserves (i.e. Athabasca Oil Sands, deep sea drilling, project development in politically unstable regions). The petroleum majors are dedicated users of the Palisade Decision Tools Suite to make their increasingly complex and risky business cases.
This presentation asserts that an energy development ‘risk / reward parity’ level is growing between new petroleum exploration and sustainable energy initiatives. The presentation uses a biofuel plant case study as an example of how a profitable business case can be made for a sustainable energy project using techniques commonly applied in petroleum exploration and engineering initiatives. The biofuel industry is expected to multiply its production by a factor of 50 by 2020. The uncertainties of government subsidy, tax credits, and loan guarantees are crucial to meeting biofuel profit margins. Stochastic analysis greatly improves the ability to pinpoint risk and to identify mitigation strategies. The case study uses @Risk to model biofuel project NPV, Evolver to suggest plant optimization strategies, and Precision Tree to guide strategic decision making. The approaches presented have promise as a due-diligence tool for prospective sustainability entrepreneurs, investors, project managers, and firms.
