Britain’s Emissions Dropped By Switching From Coal To Natural Gas
ChemInfo reported: Britain’s emissions dropped by six per cent in 2016 by switching from coal to natural gas a new study from the University of Sheffield has revealed. The collaborative study by Dr Grant Wilson from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and Energy 2050 at the University of Sheffield and Dr Iain Staffell from the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial College London, highlights the scale and speed of emissions reduction in Britain as a result of fuel switching from coal to natural gas through effective carbon pricing. The switch analyzed in the study was made possible by incentivizing gas over coal through effective carbon pricing. A carbon price of £18 per ton in 2016 was needed to incentivize the fuel switch. The research found that if spare capacity already existed, then switching from coal to gas will be a quick win method of reducing emissions as it does not require several years to build the generation to impact reductions in emissions, unlike other options such as renewable and nuclear energy.

New Jersey Gets Additional Natural Gas Supplies as Latest Transco Expansion Comes Online
Platts reported: Williams said Monday it had placed into service a natural gas pipeline expansion that will boost delivery of natural gas to New Jersey by 180,000 Dt/d. The project is part of efforts to increase takeaway capacity from the US Northeast. Numerous infrastructure projects have been added in recent years, including several tied to Williams’ Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line system. The latest enhancement, Phase 2 of the Garden State Expansion Project, will deliver additional gas to New Jersey Resources’ New Jersey Natural Gas.
