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. Nevertheless, coal remains a major energy source in the North …

electricity prices are deeply linked to coal prices among other factors, both in terms of levels and volatility, regardless of the … underlying fuel mix, and that coal was marginally more profitable than gas for electricity generation. EU policies aimed at …

Since China decontrolled coal prices, its coal price has risen steadily and been unusually volatile. In 2011 in … particular, high coal prices and capped electricity prices in China discouraged coal-fired power generation, triggering … widespread power shortages. We suggest that these coal-price disturbances could be symptomatic of a major change in pricing …

This paper investigates the causal relationship between urban population, real GDP, electricity production and coal … GDP to coal consumption. The variance decomposition analysis report that urban population and coal affect electricity … over time. Policy measures aimed at influencing GDP could ultimately affect coal consumption. …
