"What are transition credits? Philippines takes novel approach to coal phase-out"
#Phillippines #Coal #FossilFuels

Could ‘transition credits’ be the key to unlocking a coal-free Asia?
This novel take on carbon credits could cure Asia's coal addiction - but critics are sceptical.

The often mentioned "But China and India are still building new coal power plants" - true - doesn't mean that the amount of electricity they generate from coal goes up. Actually, it went down last year, and the amount of coal used probably went down faster thanks to the increased efficiency of the fleet.

Coal power generation fell in both China and India in 2025, after each nation added record amounts of clean energy

Abandoned coal mine drainage identified as a significant source of carbon emissions
For the past 250 years, people have mined coal industrially in Pennsylvania, U.S.. By 1830, the city of Pittsburgh was using more than 400 tons of the fossil fuel every day. Burning all that coal has contributed to climate change. Additionally, unremediated mines—especially those that operated before Congress passed regulations in 1977—have leaked environmentally harmful mine drainage. But that might not be the end of their legacy.

South Africa's coal mines are leaking methane, and no one knows how much

"No major banks have yet committed to stop funding new oil, gas and coal, research finds"
#Banks #Finance #FossilFuels

During the #COP30 climate conference in Brazil, Australia's opposition party withdrew from the country's net-zero by 2050 target. It now sees net-zero as a potential 'welcome outcome' of using Australia's resources (coal, gas) plus new energy technologies. Reckless.

Liberal Party formally abandons net zero by 2050 climate target
The decision brings the party closer to the Nationals, which ditched its support for the target earlier this month amid internal turmoil over the Coalition's policy.

Australia can slash energy bills AND cut emissions—it's not either/or.
As aging coal plants need replacement, renewables with storage are now the cheapest option. Gas has become uncompetitive, and it's actually coal/gas prices driving bills up, not renewables.
The path forward: faster approvals, better competition, and switching homes to electric heat pumps and solar.

Australia doesn’t have to choose between energy affordability and emission reductions 
Emissions reduction targets are often cast as incompatible with energy affordability, the latest example being the Liberal Party dumping its net zero target. IEEFA has found that this is not the case.
