It's hard to argue with success, but somehow you always do it. Has Global Coal Consumption Peaked? In the often-depressing fight against emissions, a recent report offers some promising news. By Naveena Sadasivam, InsideClimate NewsDecember 04, 2015 This story originally appeared on InsideClimate News. Coal still provides about 40 percent of the world's electricity, but it is "increasingly likely" that global consumption of the fossil fuel peaked in 2013, according to a new forecast based on recent trends in China, the world's biggest coal consumer, and the 11 other largest users. An analysis by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis released on November 15 showed that worldwide coal consumption is likely to decline 2 to 4 percent in 2015, despite near decade-low coal prices. That's on top of 2014's 0.7 percent decline, estimated in BP's World Energy Outlook. audubon.org
