In its heyday, coal was the king of heating. In 1913 coal extraction in the UK almost reached 300 million tonnes. By comparison in 2019 production was just a little over 2 million tonnes. A huge 99.33% reduction. Coal mines have closed year on year. Only 13 coal mines in the UK are in operation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s now been announced that the UK will cease all coal power by October 2024. Anne-Marie Trevelyan, the Energy & Climate Change minister said that the move would „send a clear signal around the world that the UK is leading the way in consigning coal to the history books.“<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end of coal power was originally set for 2025. However, the government wanted to boost the UK’s credentials ahead of the all-important UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, which runs from 31 Oct to 12 November. More information about this conference can be found here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK will still mine coal for export and for construction-related processes such as steelmaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coal is the most carbon-intensive fossil fuel. It’s been calculated that coal-fired electricity accounts for some 30% of carbon dioxide emissions globally. It’s also a leading source of air pollution. It’s been reported that burning fossil fuels, in particular coal, killed over 8 million people globally in 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coal extraction in the UK has been diminishing on and off for the last 100 years, with spikes and dips giving way to a steady and pronounced fall. The UK was home to the world’s first coal power station in 1882. By 1950 an incredible 97% of the countries electricity was generated by coal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While coal had its time and place, it served its purpose at a time when we were not aware of global warming. It’s now time to move forwards with renewable energy sources to take it’s place. A cleaner, greener planet is not just down to industry. You too can do your bit. Here are a few ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideas for lowering your carbon footprint:<\/strong>

1. Stick aluminium foil or reflective panels behind radiators. This reflects heat back into the room rather than being absorbed into walls.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Turn your thermostat down to 18\u00b0C and put on an extra jumper.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Buy A-rated electrical appliances.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. When using a washing machine ensure there is a full load and turn down the temperature.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Take your phone charger out of the wall. It uses energy even when it\u2019s not charging your phone.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Turn off the tap while cleaning your teeth.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Make sure you defrost your fridge and freezer on a regular basis.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Defrost frozen food in the fridge as this helps to keep it cool as it thaws.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Buy locally produced organic food.<\/em>

10. Turn off your computer monitor when you leave the office at the end of the day.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
