Coal Round, 16 March 2011 – Slide 9
Coal is the world’s fastest-growing source of primary energy and the
No.1 fuel for power generation.
Coal is safe, reliable, affordable and becoming ever-more
sustainable. Low CO2 emissions can be achieved with CCS.
Imported coal provides energy diversity. Indigenous coal reduces
energy import dependence and generates wealth.
Coal improves security of electricity supply around the world.
Conclusions
Coal is an important part of a balanced energy mix.
