A Comparison Between SNG and Other Energy Sources
Coal: A Catalyst for Destruction
Coal is responsible for 48% of global pollution, making it the most destructive source of energy.
Burning coal and mining emits toxic substances linked to serious health problems such as asthma, cancer, and respiratory and heart disease.
Significantly contributes to climate change, Earth's destruction, and loss of human lives.
Coal: A Catalyst for Destruction
It does harm at every stage of life, from extraction to burning, affecting humans and life on Earth, hence the need to seek cleaner and sustainable alternative energy sources.
The rapid transition away from coal is critical in order to mitigate the most catastrophic effects of climate change and to create a more sustainable future for generations to come.
Many countries worldwide have committed to embracing zero-carbon solutions by 2030, which means coal will be phased out gradually.
Coal's Carbon Footprint
- Coal is the most destructive source of energy
Promising a Green Tomorrow - 90% of the countries in the world are committed to eliminating coal by 2030
- By 2030, the "No Coal Solution" could be competitive in sectors representing over 70% of global emissions
- In 2018, 89% of global CO2 emissions came from fossil fuels and industry
- Coal is a fossil fuel, and is the most contaminant of them all, responsible for over 0.3C of the 1C increase in global average temperatures
- This makes coal the single largest source of global temperature rise
