Super El Niño Could Trigger Major Coal Boom In India
Authored by Tsvetana Paraskova via OilPrice.com,
The super El Niño weather phenomenon this year will significantly boost India's demand for coal-fired power generation over the next 12 months, as a generation gap could occur with higher temperatures, the Finland-based think tank Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) said in a report on Monday.
The El Niño, the recurrent weather pattern driving global temperatures higher, would affect most energy systems globally, but none would be as affected as India's, according to CREA.
The El Niño, typically associated with lower wind speeds and less rainfall, could reduce India's power generation from wind and hydropower. This will open a gap in generation, CREA warns, adding that the gap will be mostly bridged by a surge in coal power generation.
"Combine the lost output from renewables and the increased demand for power, and India could face a generation gap of nearly 18 TWh,&...

Energie: Erneuerbare im Aufwind, Emissionen im Plus (SG)

|
Der jährliche Statistical Review des Energy Institute zeigt für 2025 ein gemischtes Bild der globalen Energieversorgung: Einerseits schreitet der Ausbau neuer Energietechnologien mit hohem Tempo voran, andererseits steigt die weltweite Energienachfrage weiter. Der globale Energieverbrauch legte 2025 um 1,7% auf mehr als 600 Exajoule (rund 167.000 TWh) zu, die energiebedingten CO2-Emissionen stiegen um 1,1% auf 35,8 Gigatonnen. Trotz des kräftigen Ausbaus erneuerbarer Energien machen fossile Energieträger weiterhin rund 86% im globalen Energiemix aus.. --- Rechenzentren und KI-Anwendungen wurden erstmals separat ausgewiesen; ihr Stromverbrauch sprang um 20% nach oben und entspricht inzwischen 2,4% des globalen Stromverbrauchs.. --- Europa deckte rund 48% seines Gasbedarfs über LNG, wovon 52% aus den USA stammten. Vollständig beendet ist die Abhängigkeit von Russland damit aber nicht, denn zusätzlich importierte Europa weiterhin 20,3 Mrd. Kubikmeter russisches Gas in Form von LNG

America Bets $50 Billion On Coal And Gas Power, More Than China, As Electricity Demand Soars
By Irina Slav of OilPrice.com
US companies are set to spend some $50 billion on power generation from coal and natural gas this year, the International Energy Agency has said, as quoted by the Financial Times.
This would be the first time in decades that US spending on coal and gas generation would be higher than what China is investing in the two fuels, with the difference at $3 billion.
The surge in spending will come mostly from much stronger demand for gas turbines amid a data center boom in the United States, the FT noted in its report. According to the IEA, US companies placed orders for some 20 GW in gas turbine generation capacity in just the first quarter of this year. Prices for gas turbines, meanwhile, have moved sharply higher on tight supply, contributing to the higher U.S. spending.
The report cited a Rystad Energy analyst as saying prices for gas turbines have gone up from $800 per kWh t...
