UK coal 201239% of UK electricity coal-powered
– (up from 30% in 2011)
64 million tonnes (54.9m for electricity)

Accumulation of plants + minerals in water
Compression = loss of water & volatiles

Types of coalLignite – bituminous coal – anthracite
Increasing Carbon content: Peat ~60% Anthracite 95% or more

Sending coals to Newcastle64 million tonnes (54.9m for electricity)
44.8m tonnes imported:– Russia, Colombia, USA, Australia

How much coal in UK?National Coal Board, 1977:– Resources: 190 bn tonnes– Reserves: 45 bn tonnes (700 years')
UK government, 2011:– Reserves: 3.2 bn tonnes (50 years')

New coal power
Underground Coal Gasification (UCG)

New coal power
Underground Coal Gasification (UCG)
Controlled partial combustion
Produces synthetic gas– Gas-fired power– Can be converted to syn-diesel• Better/cleaner than oil diesel
UK resources: 17 bn tonnes (BGS)

Safe coal?
Chinese smog– >250,000
deaths in 2011
Direct deaths (2008)
China: 1 per 0.7m tonnes mined
USA: 1 per 25m tonnes mined
Deaths/cases per TWh(Markandya & Wilkinson 2007)

Environmental impact
GHG emissions by energy source
(Markandya & Wilkinson 2007)

Environmental impact2008 – 14 million m3 of methane emitted
from abandoned UK coal mines (UN, 2010)
Not included in UK greenhouse gas emissions data
But:
Abandoned Mine Methane (AMM)
Coal Mine Methane (CMM)
Coal Bed Methane (CBM)

Jury decisionShould coal be part of the future UK energy mix?
Consider:– Cost & availability– Health & safety– Energy security– Environmental impact
![Page 26: Powered by Rock Dr Liam Herringshaw lgh865@hotmail.com Earth's Energy Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e175503460f94b01ea8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Next week
Oil & Gas
(incl. fracking)
![Page 27: Powered by Rock Dr Liam Herringshaw lgh865@hotmail.com Earth's Energy Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e175503460f94b01ea8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Hat of Random Energy Judgement
5 x FOR
5 x AGAINST
6 x NEUTRAL (jury)
![Page 28: Powered by Rock Dr Liam Herringshaw lgh865@hotmail.com Earth's Energy Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e175503460f94b01ea8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Next week: Oil & Gas
FOR – make an argument in favour of hydrocarbons
AGAINST – make an argument against
Are they part of our future energy mix?

Another decision!
Extra class after final week?– (would be March 17th)
Or two 3-hour classes?
