Renewables will never be able to replace fossil energy in the worlds production of electricity:
The worlds production of electricity by sources, IEA.
39%
The largest source of the worlds fuel 2014 was fossil energy:
Coal 39% + Gas 22% + oil 5% : 65%
And that will be in many years to come because Coal forcibly will have a renaissance in
coming cool climate.
It’s time for DK to invest in clean coal tech.

In all years the dominant fuels in the world are fossil enrgy:
Coal, Gas, petroleum
2040
Renewable 12 TWH
Coal + Gas + petroleum 25 TWH
Many countries all over th world are building new clean coal stations among other
Germany,France and UK, it’s time for Denmark to do similar billion investments in new coal
power plants instead of obsolete windturbines.

BEIJING—China’s government said it would raise coal power capacity by as much
as 20% by 2020, ensuring a continuing strong role for the commodity in the
country’s energy sector despite a pledge to bring down pollution levels.

Five of the world’s seven richest countries have increased their coal use in the
last five years despite demanding that poor countries slash their carbon
emissions to avoid catastrophic climate change, new research shows.
Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan and France together burned 16% more coal in
2013 than 2009 and are planning to further increase construction of coal-fired
power stations. Only the US and Canada of the G7 countries meeting on Monday
in Berlin have reduced coal consumption since
the Copenhagen climate summit
in 2009.
Right now, there are five coal plants under construction and another 41 under
development in Japan, according to Kimiko Hirata, international director for the
Kiko Network, a Japanese environmental coalition. And it is unclear how those
plans will fit with the world’s recent pledge in Paris to keep global warming
under 2°C. Japan’s Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) is
equivalent to 18 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, a goal Climate Action
Tracker rates as “inadequate.”
Indonesiawill soon have more advanced coal fired power stations than Australia:
Electric Power Development Co. have promised to fully support the construction
of the coal-fired Batangn power plant in central Java, which will become not only
the most efficient but also cleanest thermal power plant in Southeast Asia.Last
year, coal becampe the country’s dominant source of fuel, accounting for 41% of
total energy consumption.

Coal continued
More than 1,000 new coal plants planned worldwide, figures show
World Resources Institute identifies 1,200 coal plants in planning across 59 countries, with about
three-quarters in China and India
The WRI report also found that, after a slight dip during the economic troubles of 2008, the global
coal trade has rebounded and rose by 13% in 2010. A structural shift has moved the bulk of the
international coal trade from the Atlantic, serving Europe and the US, to the Pacific. China became
a net importer of coal in 2009 but the biggest changes are fast-rising imports by Japan, South Korea
and Taiwan, which all have large numbers of coal-fired plants but produce virtually no coal of their
own.
However, Germany, the UK and France remain in the top 10 importers, and coal use rose 4% in
2011 in Europe as prices fell and plants due to close under clean air rules use up their allotted
running hours. Indonesia and Australia are the largest coal exporters, with the latter planning to
triple its mine and port capacity to almost 1bn tonnes a year.
Many developing countries, such as Guatemala, Cambodia, Morocco, Namibia, Senegal and Sri
Lanka, and Uzbekistan, are planning new coal-fired plants even when they produce almost no coal
at all. "There is a long way to go to raise awareness that you can meet energy needs from sources
other than coal," said Yang.
Most new coal-fired plants will be built by Chinese or Indian companies. But new plants have
largely been financed by both commercial banks and development banks. JP Morgan Chase has
provided more than $16.5bn (£10.3bn) for new coal plants over the past six years, followed by Citi
($13.8bn). Barclays ($11.5bn) comes in as the fifth biggest coal backer and the Royal Bank of
Scotland ($10.9bn) as the seventh. The Japan Bank for International Co-operation was the biggest
development bank ($8.1bn), with the World Bank ($5.3bn) second.
Guy Shrubsole, at Friends of the Earth, said of the WRI report: "This is a scary number of coal-fired
plants being planned. It is clear that the vested interests of coal companies are driving this forward
and that they will have to be reined in by governments."
In January, the Bank of England was warned that fossil fuel sub-prime assets posed a systemic risk
to economic stability, because only 20% of the reserves of the top 100 coal and top 100 oil and gas
companies could be burned while keeping the global temperature rise under the internationally
agreed limit of 2C.

The world is preparing to build 2,440 coal-fired power stations, which may seem odd given that
world leaders recently launched high-profile talks in Paris to come up with a global agreement to
limit global warming.
According to Climate Action Tracker, an environmental NGO, the pollution from that many coal
plants—which have either been announced, are in pre-permit phase, are permitted, or are under
construction—would ruin any chance for limiting global warming to less than 2°C, a commonly
held goal (pdf). In fact, the coal plants alone would mean overshooting emissions goals by 400%.
coal is cheap. Put simply, if the cost of burning it is low, it will get burned.
A lack of clear and consistent charges for emitting carbon—via trading programs, taxes, or other
levies—keeps the price of high-emitting coal lower than it might otherwise be. Coal is also actively
supported financially by many governments: fossil fuel subsidies are worth some $490 billion per
year, outstripping support for renewable-energy sources by more than three times, according to the
IEA.
