Angesichts der Energiepreiskrise sollen nach dem Willen des Europaparlaments bestimmte Klimaschutzregeln für importierte fossile Brennstoffe erst später als geplant greifen. Die Abgeordneten stimmten mit 341 Ja-Stimmen, 225 Nein-Stimmen und 6 Enthaltungen dafür, dass Importeure von Öl, Gas und Kohle erst ab Mai 2031 EU-Klimaschutzregeln für das klimaschädliche Treibhausgas Methan befolgen müssen - gut drei Jahre später als bisher vorgesehen. Damit gehen sie über den Vorschlag der EU-Kommission hinaus, die die Pflicht um ein Jahr verschieben will..

India's coal-fired power plants are grappling with alarming fuel shortages, with almost half of them maintaining reserves for less than three days. This comes amid soaring electricity demand driven by rising temperatures and dwindling hydropower supplies. In response, the government has ramped up local coal production while pausing coal imports....

Japan's Electricity Prices Surge 25% As LNG And Coal Costs Soar Authored by Tsvetana Paraskova via OilPrice, Japan's average power prices jumped by over 25% at the start of this week from the previous week amid soaring LNG and higher coal prices. The nationwide power price rose by over 25% week-to-week to $0.19 (31.15 Japanese yen) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) on Monday, Bloomberg reported, citing data from Japan Electric Power Exchange. Japan, one of the world's biggest LNG importers, this summer reduced gas-fired generation in favor of coal as the price of liquefied natural gas remained elevated. Japan has been burning more coal and less gas for power generation since the war in the Middle East started, and it is not the only one. All Asian countries have made the switch from gas to coal on affordability and availability grounds. Moreover, surging oil prices have led to a significant increase in Japan's import bill for oil and LNG. LNG prices surged in Asia to a four-year high as very few car...

Global Gas Crunch Makes Europe's Remaining Coal Plants Profitable By Michael Kern of OilPrice.com The global LNG supply crunch has made Europe's last-standing coal-fired power plants profitable this year as gas supply costs soar while the need for conventional generation to stabilize grids remains. In Germany and Poland, which host most of the remaining operational or back-up-ready coal power capacity in Europe, coal-fired generation is profitable again as winter approaches, LNG supply is barely moving out of the Strait of Hormuz, and gas prices are at their highest level since the 2022-2023 crisis. European countries, including Germany, have closed coal capacities in recent years due to climate targets. But the remaining coal-fired power plants have now become indispensable in stabilizing the grids as gas-fired generation slumps amid demand destruction and gas conservation. One measure of profitability for generating electricity from lignite in Germany has jumped to as much as $72 (64 euros...
