Coal consumption and production have sharply declined in recent years in the U.S., despite political support. Reasons … are mostly unfavorable economic conditions for coal, including competition from natural gas and renewables in the power … sector, as well as an aging coal- fired power plant fleet. The U.S. Energy Information Administration as well as most models …

In this paper, we provide a comprehensive multivariate cointegration analysis of three parts of the steam coal value … chain - export, transport and import prices. The analysis is based on a rich dataset of international coal prices; in … particular, we combine data on steam coal prices with freight rates, covering the period December 2001 until August 2009 at …

With its resource availability and the prospect of climate friendly technology, coal continues to play an important … role in the global energy sector. We develop a complementarity model of the international market for steam coal. We want to … equilibrium framework, we assume the steam coal exporters to maximize their profits by choosing the optimal quantity to sell to …

The Trump administration has promised to stop the spiraling down of the U.S. coal industry that has been going on for … several years. We discuss the origins of the decline of the U.S. coal industry and new policy interventions by the Trump … administration. We find that a further decrease of coal consumption in the U.S. electricity sector must be expected because of the …

In this paper we investigate the introduction of an export tax on steam coal levied by an individual country (Australia … consisting of an optimal policy problem at the upper level, and an equilibrium model of the international steam coal market … (based on COALMOD-World) at the lower level. We find that a unilaterally introduced Australian export tax on steam coal has …

composting into the production of hydrothermally carbonized coal (HTC coal) that is used as a substitute for hard coal in the … to HTC-coal co-firing in an existing power plant rather than mono-firing it in a newly built biomass power plant. This … shows that a comparatively favorable use of HTC coal might be as a bridging technology …

In this paper, I … employ a numerical model of the international steam coal market (COALMOD‐World) to examine two alternative supply …‐side policies: 1) a production subsidy reform introduced in major coal producing countries, in line with the G20 initiative to …

Before 2004 South Africa was the dominant steam coal exporter to the European market. However a new market situation …

charging strongly increases the utilization of lignite and hard coal plants, whereas additional power in the user-driven mode … is predominantly generated from natural gas and hard coal. Specific CO2 emissions of EV are substantially larger than …

greenhouse gas emissions are increasing, although climate policy should lead to the opposite effect. The coal market is of … special relevance as coal is available in many countries and often their first choice to meet energy demand. In this paper we … assess possible interactions between climate policies and the global steam coal market. Possible market adjustments between …
