As coal use surges, America finds it’s hard to unplug from carbon
So much for the myriad claims about going “beyond coal.” According to a new report from the Rhodium Group, U.S. coal consumption jumped by 17 percent last year compared to 2020 levels. That’s a huge increase, which Rhodium says was “largely driven by a run-up in natural gas prices.” Rather than burn gas, which averaged about $4.93 per million Btu last year — more than two times the price in 2020 —

CO2をなかったことに：日経ビジネスオンライン
石炭火力発電所から出る大量のCO2（二酸化炭素）は、頭の痛い問題だ。各国政府の温暖化対策と連動し、CCS（CO2の回収・貯留）が、現実味を帯びる。CO2分離で世界トップの三菱重工業など、日本企業にも商機がありそうだ。 米ウェストバージニア州に、世界各国の電力関係者が熱視線を送る石炭火力発電所がある。米アメリカン・エレクトリック・パワー（AEP）のマウンテーニア発電所。巨大な煙突が白煙がもくもくと吐き出す様は、一見普通の火力発電所と変わらない。だが、この白煙の成分が、普通ではない。 ここは、2009年10月に世界で初めてCCSと呼ばれるCO2（二酸化炭素）の回収・貯留の実証設備を運転開始した石炭火力発電所だ。CCSとは、排ガス中のCO2だけを分離、回収して、地下深くに封じ込める技術のこと。
