To get an insight into the spatial and chemical variation of the submicron aerosol, a nationwide characterization of wintertime PM1 was performed using an Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor (ACSM) and Aethalometer at four representative sites across Ireland. Dublin, the capital city of Ireland, was the most polluted area with an average PM1 -3 -3 -3 concentration of 8.6 μg m , ranging from <0.5 μg m to 146.8 μg m in December 2016. The PM1 in Dublin was mainly 20 composed of carbonaceous aerosol (organic aerosol (OA) + black carbon (BC)) which, on average, accounted for 80% of total PM1 mass during the monitoring period.

  • Australian Coal Futures
    AUSTRALIAN COAL FUTURES CAN CHINA AND INDIA PROMOTE RECOVERY IN AUSTRALIA’S COAL EXPORT INDUSTRY TO 2020? Commissioned by: David Mee Date of Submission: 7 November 2016 Submitted by: Nathaniel Groeneveld UQ Supervisor: Peter Knights STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY I hereby declare that this final thesis is my own work and that it contains, to the best of my knowledge and belief, no material previously published or written work by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been submitted for another course, except where due acknowledgement is made in the report. Signed, Nathaniel Groeneveld ii ABSTRACT The declining price of seaborne coal since 2011 has placed enormous pressure on the Australian coal industry, slashing profits and forcing mine closures. This report aims to determine whether Australian exporters can expect a recovery in seaborne price and demand in the period to 2020. It was determined that demand from China and India would be the most important variable in determining seaborne price. Both countries are major importers pushing towards changing their energy mix. They also have access to low cost domestic coal supply and are looking for greater energy security in a tense political climate. With the viability of the Australian industry hinged on these two countries, two key drivers within China and India were found to determine their demand for coal. These were: growth in renewable energy; and availability of domestic coal. From these, a matrix of four possible export futures was produced, based on outcomes of either growth outperforming expectation or stagnation in each of the drivers. This model is based on the original scenario planning model employed by Royal Dutch Shell from late 1960’s, adjusted to allow an accurate representation of possible scenarios for Australian coal towards 2020.

  • GLOBAL COAL: the ACCELERATION of MARKET DECLINE © Martin D
    REVIEW OCTOBER 2015 GLOBAL COAL: THE ACCELERATION OF MARKET DECLINE © Martin D. Vonka / shutterstock.com Wind turbine , renewable energy source This literature review captures the state-of-play of the global coal and renewable energy markets on the basis of over 130 studies and articles that were published between September 2014 and August 2015. It consists of key highlights, an executive summary, tables of main coal countries globally, and summaries of all the considered studies and articles (global and per key country). An earlier literature review 2013-2014 showed that the global coal market became bearish around 2012. This new study of literature indicates that the decline is structural. Meanwhile, investments in renewable energy re-increased – leading to record power capacity additions in 2014 that surpassed power capacity additions from all fossil fuels combined. Fossil fuels are losing the race against renewables, with coal as the principal victim. © DmyTo / Shutterstock.com Coal mining harvester while working at a depth of about 700 meters underground CONTENTS Highlights 11 Executive Summary 13 Introduction 13 The game changer: Chinese coal consumption dropped in 2014 13 The EU and USA: towards the end of coal 14 Coal mines on the verge of the abyss 15 Utility death spiral: thermal coal reaches retirement age 17 Renewables on the rise 18 Coal divestment spreading to mainstream financial institutions 19 Main coal countries globally 21 Producers 21 Consumers 21 Exporters 22 Importers 22 What is new in the global market? 25 Policy

  • The Net Benefits of Low and No-Carbon Electricity Technologies
    GLOBAL ECONOMY & DEVELOPMENT WORKING PAPER 73 | MAY 2014 Global Economy and Development at BROOKINGS THE NET BENEFITS OF LOW AND NO-CARBON ELECTRICITY TECHNOLOGIES Charles R. Frank, Jr. Global Economy and Development at BROOKINGS Charles R. Frank, Jr. is a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Acknowledgements: The author is indebted to Claire Langley, Ricardo Borquez, A. Denny Ellerman, Claudio Marcantonini, and Lee Lane for their helpful suggestions in the preparation of this paper. I would also like to acknowledge the contribu- tions made by participants in a roundtable discussion of an earlier draft of this paper chaired by Kemal Derviş of the Brookings Institution. Abstract: This paper examines five different low and no-carbon electricity technologies and presents the net benefits of each under a range of assumptions. It estimates the costs per megawatt per year for wind, solar, hydroelectric, nuclear, and gas combined cycle electricity plants. To calculate these estimates, the paper uses a methodology based on avoided emissions and avoided costs, rather than comparing the more prevalent “levelized” costs. Three key findings result: First—assuming reductions in carbon emissions are valued at $50 per metric ton and the price of natural gas is $16 per million Btu or less—nuclear, hydro, and natural gas combined cycle have far more net benefits than either wind or solar. This is the case because solar and wind facilities suffer from a very high capacity cost per megawatt, very low capacity factors and low reliability, which result in low avoided emissions and low avoided energy cost per dollar invested. Second, low and no-carbon energy projects are most effective in avoiding emissions if a price for carbon is levied on fossil fuel energy suppliers.

  • Why There Will Be No Peak Coal in the Foreseeable Future
    Open Journal of Geology, 2012, 2, 57-64 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ojg.2012.22006 Published Online April 2012 (http://www.SciRP.org/journal/ojg) Why There Will Be No Peak Coal in the Foreseeable Future Thomas Thielemann1, Hans-Wilhelm Schiffer2 1Coal Mining, RWE Power AG, Essen/Cologne, Germany 2General Economic Policy/Science, RWE AG, Essen, Germany Email: [email protected] Received January 10, 2012; revised February 22, 2012; accepted March 19, 2012 ABSTRACT Hard coal and lignite—also referred to here jointly as coal—play a central role in the worldwide supply of humanity with primary energy. As a fossil energy carrier, coal is one of the finite natural resources. The reach of the world’s coal reserves is significant, and coal has the potential to cover some of the global energy and raw-material needs at least into the 22nd century. Precondition for this is a sustainable energy policy, i.e. an equal-ranking view of the goals of environ- mental and climate compatibility (sustainability), security of supply and competitiveness (affordability). The focus of developments is on resource efficiency and energy savings to obtain more modern and more efficient coal-based power plants. Greater use of coal translates into higher CO2 emissions. So if we are to achieve the climate-protection goals of limiting the rise in temperatures and reducing the CO2 content in the Earth’s atmosphere, the launch of CCS technology is recommended. Within the scope of the climate-protection debate, a discussion is also underway about an alleged drying up of coal availability in the short term (under the heading of “peak coal”).
