International Energy Agency Website: www.iea.org Coal 2019 Foreword Foreword Despite the growth in low-carbon fuels in recent decades, the reality is that coal remains a major fuel in global energy markets while accounting for over 40% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. While more and more industrialised countries have announced plans to phase out the use of coal in the years to come, the world consumes 65% more coal today than in the year 2000. That is the hard reality we must address when balancing the urgency of reducing greenhouse gas emissions with rising energy needs in many parts of the world, mainly in emerging markets. Coal provides one-quarter of global primary energy demand. Today, it is the world’s largest source of electricity generation and a crucial part of steel making and cement production. As the global energy authority that covers all fuels and technologies, the International Energy Agency (IEA) is committed to regular and rigorous analysis of coal markets, to forecasting their future trends and to highlighting technologies that can help tackle coal’s emissions footprint. This report is intended as a reference point for those with a stake in coal’s future, as well as for those interested in the relationship between energy and climate change. The continued use and growth of coal worldwide is largely supported by a group of fast-growing Asian economies that account for half of the world’s population: the People’s Republic of China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Philippines and Viet Nam. Coal power plants in Asia are young – 12 years old on average – making it possible that they can operate for many decades to come. How we address this issue in Asia is critical for the long-term success of any global efforts to reduce emissions. A range of low-carbon technologies are needed to put the world on a sustainable energy path, including carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS). The adoption of CCUS in many of Asia’s young power plants would be necessary to bring the world into line with a pathway for achieving international goals on climate, air quality and energy access. Furthermore, the decarbonisation of major heavy industries such as steel and cement would be extremely difficult without CCUS. Over the past several years, the IEA has opened its doors to major emerging economies and increased its global engagement, working closely with many countries to help them accelerate their clean energy transitions. Building on this successful momentum, our recent Ministerial Meeting has given the IEA a strong mandate to step up its role leading global clean energy transformations. We will continue helping governments around the world to provide the most appropriate solutions to their energy challenges, while ensuring that the changes happen in a fair, just and affordable way for all citizens.

  • Kingston University London
    KINGSTON UNIVERSITY LONDON “The Role of Institutional Entrepreneurs in Shaping the Renewable Energy Subfield in the UK during the Period 1986-2016” By Leigh St Aubyn CHAMPAGNIE Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Kingston University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy SPONSORS: YTL CORPORATION and KINGSTON UNIVERSITY SBRC FEBRUARY 2020 i ABSTRACT Historically, energy systems have contributed significantly to global carbon emissions. To address this concern, countries such as the United Kingdom (UK) have embraced technologies such as renewable energy to try and reduce their carbon footprints. In the case of the UK, this led to the renewable energy subfield becoming partially institutionalised under the enabling role of actors, which suggests that this type of institutional change warrants being examined through the lens of institutional entrepreneurship theory. This doctoral thesis rises to the challenge by conducting institutional entrepreneurship research to investigate the institutionalisation of the renewable energy subfield in the UK during the period 1986-2016. Such an investigation is of social significance because the institutionalisation of the renewable energy subfield is likely to contribute to deinstitutionalising polluting technologies such as fossil fuels, thus contributing to the UK’s transition to a low carbon economy. The thesis is an exploratory, qualitative case study that combines thirty-nine semi-structured interviews of respondents connected to the field of energy provision in the UK with an analysis of archival documents. It finds that multiple actors practised as institutional entrepreneurs during the period, these being the state and its various agencies; renewable energy practitioners/activists; incumbent energy practitioners; the European Union and the United Nations.

  • Stage 1 Air Quality Review and Assessment
    FOREWORD The Government attaches great importance to the opportunities for partnership, which the management of local air quality brings. The Environment Act 1995 provides the statutory basis for consultation and liaison on the Stage 1 review and assessment and the Government expects local authorities to develop a closer relationship with other agencies, commerce and local community groups who may be able to contribute to the improvement of local air quality. For the purpose of reviewing and assessing air quality local authorities need to consult in accordance with Schedule 2 of the Act. It is proposed that consultation be carried out with: I. The Secretary of State II. The relevant Environment Agency III. The relevant highways authority IV. All neighbouring local authorities V. Any relevant National Park Authority VI. Other relevant public authorities as the local authority considers appropriate e.g. Parish Councils VII. Bodies representative of business interests Widespread consultation among the general public of the East Riding will be secured by depositing copies of this document at all Customer Service Centres, public libraries and in local secondary schools. All consultees or other interested parties wishing to comment on the review are asked to make their responses to the Director of Social Services, Housing and Public Protection, County Hall, Beverley HU17 9BA by 31 March 1999. 1 SUMMARY The Environment Act 1995 required the preparation of a National Air Quality Strategy which provides a framework for air quality control through local air quality management. Air quality standards and objectives have been enacted through the Air Quality Regulations 1997. Local Authorities are required to undertake a staged air quality review and assessment.

Metals in the Future – why now? Understanding materials flows and successfully predicting long-term demand has always been central to maintaining a leadership position in the metals and mining sector. However, as the world strives to meet environmental targets, the complexity of accurately forecasting future resource requirements increases and regulatory uncertainty also contributes to creating further challenges around long-term incentive prices and the business environment. The pace of change is accelerating significantly and, given the long lead-times and high capital costs required to bring new mines and mills to market, it is imperative the industry acts now, to make itself as attractive as possible to investors and to ensure adequate supply of the materials that are building the future.
