CAGE MATCH BETWEEN COAL AND GAS: Coal and natural gas interests are locked in an existential cage match over which fuel source is best positioned to stop the bleeding as regulators at FERC and NERC warn about diminishing grid reliability.
Coal interests hope utilities, lawmakers, and regulators will rectify reliability shortcomings by holding on to coal plants a little longer, and they’re also making the case that coal has the cost advantage because it’s less subject to the kind of extreme price spikes that gas markets suffered last year.
Between Uri and Elliot, gas is"like zero for two in winter performance,” Clair Moeller, president and COO of MISO, said during a February meeting of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners. “The energy transition is going to have to be built,” Will Jordan, executive vice president of top U.S. gas producer EQT, said during a panel on LNG. “In the natural gas sector, that is building pipelines and infrastructure to allow the Marcellus Shale to be the behemoth that it can and should be.”
Correction: A previous version of this newsletter misattributed Moeller's quotation to Michelle Bloodworth, president and CEO of America's Power, who had merely paraphrased the quote. Daily on Energy regrets the error. The draft was also too light on language endorsing a phasing out of coal and other fossil fuels in the power sector in the eyes of concerned nations, according to the report.
Stepping back: Some have raised concerns that Japan, which like Europe relies on imports and remains vulnerable to price hikes, is being treated disparately because of its pursuit of more natural gas from the U.S. and other sources — an initiative the Biden administration has blessed in the case of Europe.
In the report, the IPCC said the window to meet targets set under the Paris climate accord was rapidly closing, and warned that the world must halve greenhouse gas emissions by the mid-2030s if there is any hope of limiting temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Russia announced the production cuts in February as a response to the G7-backed oil price cap. The cuts, slated to begin this month, would have removed 5% of its oil from the markets for a five-month period.
