How Trump′s Iran war could make the world more reliant on coal (The Guardian)

The energy crisis sparked by the war is making some countries consider ramping up their use of dirty fuelsNot two months in office, as the price of west Texas crude approached $14 a barrel, President Jimmy Carter donned a cardigan to speak candidly about his strategy to face the permanent energy shortage he saw in the nation's future.His “fireside chat” is mostly remembered for asking Americans to lower the thermostat to 65F in the daytime and 55F at night, an idea that didn't go down too well in the bitter winter of 1977.

Asia Burns More Coal As Middle East War Sends LNG Prices to 3-Year Highs
Submitted by Tsvetana Paraskova of OilPrice.com,
Coal is back with a bang in Asia's power generation, as countries scramble to contain the LNG supply shortage due to the war in the Middle East.
Coal hasn't really left most Asian economies, which rely on the fuel for much of their power generation. Amid the squeeze of natural gas supply due to the de facto closed Strait of Hormuz and the sky-rocketing LNG prices that few buyers in Asia can afford, nations are scrapping previous restraints to the use of coal-fired power generation.
Developed economies like Japan and South Korea are raising the use of coal-fired power generation, while developing nations China, India, Bangladesh, and most of Southeast Asia are leaning even more on coal as gas has become scarce and much more expensive.
Asian countries “are opening the tap on coal generation to help offset rising gas prices and supply risk,” Anthony Knutson, global head ...

Warum die Kohle 2026 zur globalen Lebensversicherung wird (Tichys Einblick)
|
|
|
Noch vor wenigen Jahren galt die Kohle als das „Auslaufmodell“ der globalen Energiegeschichte. NGO-Vertreter hatten es geschafft, Kohle als „schmutzige“ Energieform zu diskreditieren, vielleicht, weil sie so schwarz ist und man sich beim Anfassen die Hände schmutzig macht. Gipfeltreffen wie die COP26 in Glasgow beschworen gar das Ende des fossilen Zeitalters, und Industrienationen wie Großbritannien

Gulf LNG Crisis Set To 'Make Coal Great Again'
Our weekend wrap on the global energy crisis focused on Asia as ground zero and how the shock will ripple across the world, eventually hitting the US. This is now the second major energy crunch of the decade: first Russia's invasion of Ukraine, now the U.S.-Iran conflict. However, this one looks a lot more catastrophic.
The immediate impact of this energy crunch will be a resurgence of coal, especially across Asia, as power grid operators will be forced to switch to the dirtiest fuel to keep electricity affordable during the crisis.
"We are now seeing a second, very large energy supply shock," Goldman commodities expert Samantha Dart told Bloomberg.
Dart added, "If you're sitting in Asia, going through this again, it's possible you change your strategy long term, rely more on coal for longer, build out your renewables faster, and reduce your exposure to natural gas."
Last week, JPMorgan's commodity expert showed just how...

Wenn wir über Gewinner der Energiekrise sprechen, denken die meisten zuerst an Ölkonzerne. Vielleicht noch an Gas. Aber ein Sektor, den viele Anleger komplett übersehen, könnte ausgerechnet zu den größten Profiteuren gehören: Kohle. Viele asiatische Länder fahren bereits ihre Kohlekraftwerke wieder hoch. Der Rohstoff dazu kommt aus Minen in Australien. Der Börsenwecker stellt eine Absicherung
