The White Coal Market Poised To Grow At Highest Pace Owing To Rising Demand For Clean Energy

The white coal market involves production of solid biofuels from various organic wastes through torrefaction process. Torrefaction is a mild form of thermal treatment which improves the fuel properties of lignocellulosic biomass making it more energy dense and easier to transport and handle. It has applications as a substitute for coal in power plants. The main advantage of white coal is that it has properties closer to coal and can therefore seamlessly replace coal in existing thermal power plants without any modifications. It also has low moisture content and higher energy density which makes it a sustainable and cleaner alternative to coal.

The Global White Coal Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3.48 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.7% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.

Key Takeaways

Key players operating in the white coal market are Hind Bio Coal, ETIA SAS, Airtex Energy, Torr Coal, SSGE Bio Energy Company Ltd, Global Bio-Coal Energy Inc., Vega Biofuels Inc., NextCoal International, Inc., CSC Bio-Coal Sdn. Bhd., Balaji Agro Coal Industries, Nexgen Energia, KKR Bio Fuels, BMK Woods, and VIGIDAS PACK.

The market is witnessing high growth owing to rising demand for clean energy from power generation sector. Strict environmental norms regarding use of White Coal Market Size have led utility companies to incorporate more bio-based & sustainable alternatives like white coal. Technological advancements like torrefaction process have made white coal a highly efficient substitute for coal in terms of energy output.

Market Trends

One of the key trends in the white coal market is the shift towards production of agro-industrial wastes based white coal. Companies are actively exploring use of agricultural and food processing wastes as raw material for white coal production through torrefaction. This helps in achieving a circular bioeconomy. Another major trend is thecontracts being signed between white coal producers and utility companies for long term supply. For instance, ETIA signed a 10 year contract with RWE to supply 200,000 tons of white coal annually produced from forest residues through torrefaction.

Market Opportunities

One of the major opportunities for white coal market players is growth in emerging economies of Asia and Latin America. These regions currently dominate thermal power generation globally and offer huge untapped markets for adoption of cleaner & renewable alternatives like white coal. Secondly, co-firing of white coal with coal in existing plants provides a tool to reduce coal usage gradually. This presents an opportunity for white coal producers to partner with power producers to facilitate co-firing.

Impact of COVID-19 on White Coal Market Growth The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the global White Coal Market Size And Trends During the initial lockdown phase, the supply chain disruptions led to shortage of raw materials and workforce issues hampered production capacity. This resulted in reduced demand from end use industries like power generation, cement manufacturing, pulp and paper etc. Countries like India faced difficulties in transporting white coal from mines to storage facilities and processing plants. The overseas exports were also stalled during the early stages of lockdown.

However, post lockdown some of the major players increased their production capacity to cater to the growing power demand in summer seasons. Countries also focused on boosting their renewable energy portfolio by promoting white coal as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. The ease in lockdown restrictions enabled more streamlined supply chain operations. Also, the power utilities gave preference to domestic white coal over imports to reduce dependency on international markets. This aided the market to gradually recover lost ground. Nonetheless, volatility in raw material prices and workforce management continue to impact market expansion to some extent.

Geographical Regions with Highest White Coal Market Value Concentration Asia Pacific currently represents the largest and fastest growing regional market for white coal globally. Countries like India, China, Indonesia are major producers and consumers. India alone accounts for over 30% of total white coal reserves in the world. States like Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh are the major hubs. China also has significant deposits and focusses on harnessing this renewable resource for meeting its energy needs sustainably. Additionally, countries in Southeast Asia such as Vietnam and Philippines are emerging markets gaining prominence.

Geographical Region Witnessing Fastest Growth in White Coal Market Currently, the Asia Pacific region is witnessing the fastest growth in the global white coal market. This is majorly attributed to the supportive government policies and initiatives towards boosting the renewable energy portfolio in countries like India, China, Indonesia and Vietnam. For instance, India has set an ambitious target of producing 100 million tonnes of coal from biomass by 2024 under the SATAT initiative. This is expected to provide significant impetus for market expansion. Additionally, increasing FDI investments in white coal projects, presence of abundant untapped reserves and growing demand from end use industries are also fueling market growth in Asia Pacific.

I start the year by publishing the last drawing I made in 2023. Last year I bought some notebooks with black sheets and then I got white charcoal pencils to use them, but I hadn't had time to try to practice with them until a few days ago, I wanted to use Urd because she has white hair and dark skin and I thought it would look good to use on black sheet. I feel like she didn't look as good to me as she could have, but I'll keep practicing until I get the hang of it 🤣

i love how Bob Clampett evidently loved Snow White so much that he felt the need to reference it in multiple cartoons. this takes the cake for best Snow White parody ever, no contest

...well, some contest. but i’m just so endeared he was evidently amused enough by Dopey’s gallop in the Heigh Ho sequence to reference it in two cartoons some 24 years apart

Hi!! Hello

I feel like we are not getting a lot of steven as much as both marc and jake, like what motivates them and such. Having said that, what would your aproach be at developing steven both personally and in his relationship with jake and marc?

Btw, your blog is still my favorite one in all of tumblr, I look forward both to new releases and your commentary after every single one <3

Hello! And thank you so much for the ask and for hanging around! :D I am immeasurably glad that this blog is something that sparks a little joy in your life. 🤍🖤 As for Steven, I see your point! You actually brought up something I've been mulling over deep in my brainpan for a hot minute, so (as always seems to happen when I answer asks whoops), this got a little long. There's a bit of preamble on how I came to my conclusion, but I'm pretty sure I more directly address your question in the second part, so you can just skip to there if you'd like hahaha

Part I: Preamble Not to hijack the whole lunar theme, but Moon Knight comics do go through phases and one type of phase involves some authors giving a bit more panel time to one of the guys (e.g. Jake in the first volume of Vengeance of the Moon Knight, Steven through a lot of the first Moon Knight volume as I recall). Currently, we're in a phase of focusing a bit more on Marc and, while MacKay's work on Moon Knight has been some of the most consistently enjoyable comics I've encountered in a while, I do miss Jake and Steven. Steven in particular, has been a little out of focus. On the one hand, I can kind of see how that happened. After how previous authors chose to portray him, my interpretation is that Jake's character needed a bit of time dedicated to returning him back to his essence (but that's a whole other kettle of worms). Additionally, I will always be the first person to rail against comic characters getting pigeonholed by editorial as having a certain "role" within a comic and once that role's been fulfilled elsewhere, editorial struggles to know what to do with that character and potentially discards them entirely (or worse, warps them beyond recognition, but again, I don't need to be bring up here how salty I am about how Marvel editorial has treated other characters hahaha) and I believe that might be a bit of the case with Steven. For a long time, the guys' dynamic was understood as Steven makes money and high society connections, Jake makes friends and underground connections, and Marc makes uuuuuh let's say "extreme bodily harm to his enemies" and is not really fit to be seen in society due to, you know, the crimes against humanity. Now that Marc's lost all of their money and, in a turn of events frankly more miraculous then his multiple resurrections (perhaps to no one's greater surprise than Marc's), established himself and the Midnight Mission as upstanding parts of the community, Steven's two main "jobs" in the reductive sense aren't as easily inserted into the narrative anymore. Part II: Actually Answering Your Question (Sorry) HOWEVER, even beyond my never ending love for Steven just as he is, I believe there's more to explore.

Particularly, when I first read your ask, the first thing that popped up in my head was this page from the most recent Moon Knight annual:

Moon Knight Annual (Vol. 5/2024), #1.

Historically and including in Moon Knight (Vol. 9/2021), #24, writers have portrayed Steven as the respectable one who wants to settle down, but this idea that Steven's just as much a thrill seeker as Jake and Marc -- it just manifests differently -- greatly intrigues me. As such, personally, I would LOVE to see more of Steven's work on the logistical side of things. They don't need huge sums of cash to throw around; Steven's probably just a bit more adept at understanding how financing both legitimate and illegitimate ventures work, so he can either direct them or manipulate them as necessary. He can be messing with criminal finances for Moon Knight work in ways that carries just as much risk as pounding the pavement. Authors have alluded to such things previously, with Mr. MacKay highlighting how critical finances are to continuing the Midnight Mission's work in the community and how Moon Knight can even use them for fighting crime.

Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu (Vol. 1/2024), #0.

This little gem of an infinity comic actually addressed the topic even more explicitly.

Avengers Unlimited (Vol. 1/2022), Infinity Comic, #64.

I get it, white collar crime and financial maneuvering is a lot more difficult to make appear exciting in the comic medium as opposed to, say, fisticuffs or edged weapons. In my opinion at least though, this is cool!!! Marines make jokes about their organization's history of struggling with logistics, but that underlines how critical that aspect is to making sure anything can operate effectively! Using the full range of skills and resources available to most efficiently execute justice is just something that feels very Moon Knight to me. That interpretation also helpfully supports my argument that Steven should be just as involved in Moon Knight work as Marc and Jake, just in an "occupational specialty," if you will that looks as different from what Jake and Marc do as how different Jake's networking looks from Marc's....very kinetic approach to problems. Accordingly, I guess I would just like to see Steven utilized in the narrative more as the "scalpel" of the trio. There is a time for everything, including Marc cracking skulls, Jake shaking hands and slapping backs to collect HUMINT, but also for Steven's precise and surgical approach that can dismantle a whole organization perhaps without even any bloodshed. After all,

Moon Knight (Vol. 9/2021), #25.

Steven's got his own way of doing things.

I guess, ultimately, is it too much for me to ask that Steven, Jake, and Marc be all equally valued for the unique skill sets they bring to Moon Knight? That they support each other, particularly with how wonderfully complimentary those skill sets are? hahaha

hello~!! how did you and quarante get together? you guys are low-key kind of cute („•ᴗ•„)

"Hello to you too…! Well, it's a bit ridiculous… It took several months for us to really get in touch and talk to each other. About half a year, I think? Shortly after my accident, when the company refused to pay my hospital bills, we met in the elevator. He thought I was an intruder and called security. It was the first time I really met my boss.

I hated him for months because he played the denial.

I won't lie: one Sunday he looked so pathetic eating alone in the factory refectory that I actually invited him to our Cap-lers activity. It surprised my friends at first to have the boss around, but they got used to it and so did I. He's been with me ever since, although it took me a while to figure out why.

The rest… You know the rest…!

PS: Thank you, hehe"

[carbonateddelusion]

not gonna lie. I know people don't like B0yfr13nds (the webtoon) but like... I don't really care? who cares how a trans gay guy writes trans gay characters. I've never read it so like, obviously I can't say much for shit like how it fetishizes toxic relationships or whatever, but also: I just don't care. there's a market for that, and good on them for enjoying something I don't.

that's also how I feel about those "dark" romance novels with abusive boyfriends for the lonely female audience to fall in love with. it's whatever, it'll exist whether I want it to or not, and some people are ravenous for that shit for whatever reason. some of those people are actually survivors of abuse and use it to cope. who am I to judge them?
