Abstract:
Toward the net-zero or các bon neutrality targets, each APEC economy has different approaches, depending on its economic strength, energy structure, and domestic energy resources. In advanced APEC economies, such as the United States, Canada, Australia and Korea, coal consumption has been steadily reduced over the last decade. However, other APEC economies prioritise ensuring affordable and stable energy supply sources. Thus, coal remains the first choice of several developing and emerging APEC economies. Therefore, research and deployment of decarbonisation technologies in coal-based industrial plants would contribute to achieving a dual target: providing affordable and stable energy supply sources and CO2 emissions reduction. This article overviews the current status of coal consumption in the APEC region over the 2012-2022 period and introduces potential technologies to reduce CO2 emissions from coal-based power and industrial plants.
