Coal news and updates

Political think tank points belated finger at Chinese coal

Ember, a mostly UK think tank on climate action, has produced a report on China and its need to get itself off coal. We don’t entirely disagree with it, and we eco its sentiments. The shift is going to be tough. While most headlines marked out the manufacture of aluminum in China, the report is really about steel, cement, aluminum and electricity generation – all of which in China currently rely heavily on coal. The Ember reports highlights how critical it is that China in particular does something soon. China’s industrial recovery means it is producing nearly 60% of the world’s steel, aluminum and cement this year.
