? In the lead-up to COP21 in Paris there is no evidence to suggest  that mitigation action arising from any climate treaty will come  close to achieving emissions reductions necessary to limit  atmospheric concentration of CO2 to 450ppm. ? As developing and developed economies grow and urbanisation  increases, demand is growing for affordable, reliable and secure  forms of energy in order to combat energy poverty and ensure  competitive economies.  ? This has meant that coal remains the world’s fastest growing fossil  fuel. Its current contribution to global primary energy consumption  (30.1%) is its highest since 1970. In Southeast Asia alone demand  is expected to grow by 4.8% a year through to 2035 as the region  turns to coal to fuel its growing energy needs ? There appears to be no concerted international government action  to integrate the global priorities of reducing energy poverty and  supporting economic competitiveness through affordable energy  with global ambitions on climate change.  ? Moving the current average global efficiency rate of coal-fired  power plants from 33% to 40% by deploying more advanced offthe-shelf technology could cut 2 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions now,  while allowing affordable energy for economic development and  poverty reduction.  ? Deploying high efficiency, low emission (HELE) coal-fired power  plants is a key first step along a pathway to near-zero emissions  from coal with carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS).
