What is the world’s most abundant nonrenewable fossil fuel?
Coal
What is the cheapest source of non renewable energy?
The IRENA report found that solar and onshore wind are the cheapest energy sources. It states that in 2017 wind turbine prices had an average cost of $0.06 per kWh, and at times dropped to $0.04 per kWh.
Which fossil fuel is most abundant on earth?
Coal is not only our most abundant fossil fuel, it is also the one with perhaps the longest history. The United States has more coal reserves than any other country in the world. In fact, one-fourth of all the known coal in the world is in the United States.

Who is the largest exporter of LNG?
How much is a ton of LNG worth?
A tonne of hard coal equates to roughly 27 mmBtu of thermal energy, and a tonne currently costs around $51.29. To generate the same amount of energy from LNG would cost about $121.50, based on the current Asian spot LNG price of $4.50 per mmBtu.
How much is LNG worth?
South Korea and China had the highest landed price of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the world at 2.16 U.S. dollars per million Btu, compared with the United States (Lake Charles) at 1.70 U.S. dollars per million Btu….
| Prices in U.S. dollars per million Btu | |
|---|---|
| India | 2.01 |
| Belgium | 2 |
| U.S. (Cove Point) | 1.89 |
| Spain | 1.83 |
How is LNG price calculated?
When the slope of the line is 16.7%, LNG is priced equally to crude oil on an energy equivalent basis, based on 1 bo generating approximately 5.8 to 6 MMBtu of energy. Thus, if the market valued gas and oil on an energy equivalent MMBtu basis, then gas should be priced as 16.7% oil price.
Is LNG expensive?
LNG is set at 13 USD/mmBTU which includes small scale distribution costs of 4 USD/mmBTU.
