Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews
Compared to other fossil fuels, in 2020 coal is still the largest source of global energy-related CO 2 emissions (44.0%), followed by oil and its derivates (33.7%), and natural gas (21.6%). Many countries are investing in power generation from natural gas to support the phasing out of coal, as both pollutants and CO 2 emissions are significantly …

Chapter 5: Sulphide minerals and acid rock drainage
Acid and metal-rich water originating from the oxidation of sulfide minerals is called acid rock drainage (ARD). ARD is a naturally occurring process in rocks containing sulfide minerals exposed to oxygen and water. The process is often slow in nature, because that acid-producing sulfide minerals are rare in the earth crust.
