CoalVision tm

Now in its 12th year, CoalVision provides consistent, comprehensive market intelligence on the US coal industry, with focus on the ancillary factors that influence coal’s production, trade, and usage. Our analysis is conducted within the context of the major coal markets (metallurgical and steam, both domestic and international) with supply/demand and price forecasts to the year 2040.

CoalVision 2017 includes:

• US Coal Overview - considers the prospects for the US coal industry to meet domestic demand in light of the challenges to the overall production base – reserve depletion, increased environmental scrutiny, ageing workforce, declining productivity, etc.
• US Electricity Markets - discusses the outlook for electricity consumption within the US, focusing on the factors that mold the supply and demand balance of the US generating industry. With an emphasis on coal-fired generation, competing forms of generation (nuclear, gas, renewables) are addressed with projections of future generating capacity.
• US Coal Demand - assesses the demand for coal within the main domestic US coal markets – coal-fired generation, coke production, and industrial applications – as well as the international steam and metallurgical export markets.
• Regulatory Review - addresses the latest battery of pending and proposed regulatory and legislative initiatives that will potentially impact the coal mining and coal-fired power generation industries.
• CoalVision 2016 Price Forecast - presents our long-term price projections for benchmark coal products produced from the various coal supply basins, highlighting our rationale behind price movements through the year 2040.
