US Peabody Energy launches the Advanced Energy for Life campaign

摘要

US-based coal miner, Peabody Energy, has launched a global campaign to promote the use of clean coal technologies around the world. The Advanced Energy for Life campaign will "work to educate and activate world leaders, multinational organisations, institutions, stakeholders and the general public," the company said in a statement. Commenting on the launch, Gregory Boyce, CEO of Peabody Energy, noted that "more than a decade ago, the UN Millennium Goals called for a rapid halving of extreme global poverty by 2015 [...] Yet today, 3.5 billion people lack adequate access to energy and more than 4 million people needlessly die each year from the effects of energy poverty. We have the technologies and the global resources to end this crisis. All of us must work together toward realistic solutions."
