Managing the Reduction of Environmental Impact of Coal Use Towards Sustainability
Presenter(s): Leszek Preisner, Tadeusz Pindor
Coal is still one of the main primary energy sources on a world scale. Industrial production of hydrogen using different methods requires an energy supply, which comes from coal and the burning of other fuels. This means that fossil fuels will be used. The rapid growth in prices of crude oil and natural gas has meant that liquid fuels produced from coal has received new attention. A particular growth of interest in this respect appears in countries that posses large coal mineral resources, but have no sufficient crude oil reserves.
CEA Case Study: Peru LNG Project
Presenter(s): Masud Hasan, Stephen Parsons
The ESIA for the Peru LNG Projects (PLNG) did not fully address potential cumulative environmental and social effects. A CEA was prepared to ensure that the incremental effects resulting from the combined influences of the PLNG are considered in conjunction with the effects of other projects currently operating or proposed for the general area, recognizing that these incremental effects may be significant even though the effects of each activity, when independently assessed, may be considered small or insignificant.
