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 …

Steam coal exporters face increasing uncertainty about future coal demand and risks of asset stranding. Nevertheless …, new export-oriented coal mine projects are still brought forward. In this study, we use the coal sector model COALMOD …-World to assess the economic prospects of investments in the export-oriented steam coal sector, and in particular of coal mines …

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 …

For climate change mitigation a rapid phase-out of fossil fuels such as coal is necessary. This has far-reaching gender …-specific consequences. This paper presents a systematic map of the literature that examines the impact of historical coal phase … full-text studies. The analysis of the 73 publications ultimately included in the systematic map shows that past coal phase …

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 …

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 …

The findings suggest that especially the coal market has remained fundamentals-driven, whereas for the oil market …

Coal continues to be an important fuel in many countries' energy mix and, despite the climate change concerns, it is … evolution of the international market for steam coal, the coal type used for electricity generation. The main focus is on future …, formulated in the complementarity format. It includes all major steam coal exporting and importing countries and represents 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 …
