Since they were presumably going to operate as base load as opposed to peaker power, it's likely they were intending to sign long term contracts so that their incremental addition to the demand for coal would be absorbed not by creating an additional demand on the spot market but by identifying a fixed source with a standing order and putting a few American miners to work on a full - time basis.

In the Sustainable Development Scenario, low - carbon sources double their share in the energy mix to 40 % in 2040, all avenues to improve efficiency are pursued, coal demand goes into an immediate decline and oil consumption peaks soon thereafter.

The larger problem is that the energy can be produced on - demand with the coal but with PV it is produced during peak sunlight hours which in the UK is about 6 hours per day in the summer and 2 hours per day in the winter.

The first signs of a fossil - fuel bust emerged early last year with growing evidence that the decade - long boom in global coal demand was peaking.

Its demand for coal may even have peaked.

As demand increases towards its summer peak level, the utilization rates for both coal - and natural gas - fired units tend to rise.

The government's central problem is that, as well as being polluting, coal - fired power is not well suited to the problem of increasingly high peaks in power demand, combined with slow growth in total demand.

As my colleague Gordon pointed out in a post last week, India is currently learning the most important lesson about its over-dependence on outdated, centralized coal - fired power: It is simply not flexible enough to accommodate India's real problem - peak demand (the kind that happens when 20 million Delhi inhabitants turn on their air conditioners or fans all at once).

The report, «Expect the Unexpected», shows that on current cost trajectories, solar PV and EVs threaten to result in both peak coal and oil demand in the early 2020s, if countries meet their NDCs.

The CTI report says there will be no need for new coal mines, oil demand will peak around 2020, and growth in gas will disappoint industry expectations if world leaders agree and then implement the policies needed to meet the UN commitment to keep climate change below 2 ˚C − the threshold agreed by most governments.

Global demand for oil and coal will most likely peak and could decline over the next two decades.

Peak thermal coal demand in China could be imminent.

Natural gas is less dirty than coal, more expensive and used for peak demand.

The Institute of Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA)'s demand analysis shows how China's coal demand could surprise people by peaking in 2016 and then decline gradually thereafter, driven by efficiency measures, increased renewables, hydro, gas and nuclear and tougher policies to cut air pollution.

The implication is that Chinese carbon dioxide emissions may peak before 2020, given that these emissions have historically tracked coal demand so closely.

Analysts at Carbon Tracker found that no new coal mines were needed in a 2C world and oil demand should peak by 2020.

The electricity from the coal - fired power plant will be utilized during the high peak demand periods of the summer season to ensure security of supply at a reasonable cost.

The operating cost of coal could be higher than the LCOE of onshore wind by 2024 and solar PV by 2027, while battery storage and demand response increasingly provide auxiliary services and peak shaving.

The coal sector faces a structural shift, with the threat of peak coal demand in China looming ever closer, which would weaken prices, reduce revenues and devalue existing assets.

With demand understandably peaking, other sources, such as coal and gas, had to fill the gap.

The clear direction of travel for coal consumption is underscored by the IEA's 2016 World Energy Outlook that brought forward the peak for thermal coal demand in China by 17 years in its New Policies Scenario - recognising demand peaked in 2013 as opposed to 2030.

Coal is not built at all, but gas enjoys a boom in the middle of next decade to also cope with summer peak demand, and to replace 6.2 GW of retired capacity.

Other provisions in the act — such as tax incentives that encourage the adoption of energy - efficient technologies, a shift to more combined heat and power generation, and the adoption of real - time pricing of electricity (a measure that will discourage optional electricity use during peak demand periods)-- would cut electricity demand enough to avoid building an additional 37 coal - fired power plants.

Why is CO2 still accelerating, if emissions had flattened in recent years (2013 - 2017), with, among other things, a tentative peak coal (demand) in China in 2013?

By virtue of Peak Oil having been passed (where supply can not raise in response to demand) and coal being a terrible source of energy.
