Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reduced inland transport rates are necessary to make high-cost American coal more competitive on the world market. The U.S. Department of Energy has stated that the major constraint to increasing U.S. steam coal exports are higher delivered costs. However, the desire of the federal government to increase the profitability of the struggling railroads through reduced rate regulation, as well as encouraging mergers of large coal-hauling rail systems that reduce transport competition, are two policies that run counter to the cost-reducing desires of U.S. coal producers and foreign buyers. U.S. exports of steam coal used for electricity generation, and industrial heating, are expected to increase in volume over the long-term, but for the short-term will not gain market share. Metallurgical coal, used in the manufacture of steel, will remain at current export levels or decrease slightly over the short-term, with no increase in the long-term. Other countries have much lower production and transportation costs and could underprice U.S. exports by significant margins, but choose to price their coal only marginally below U.S. prices to maximize their profits. Therefore, the U.S. market share will be subject to the pricing strategies of major competitors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coal will continue to provide a major portion of energy requirements in the United States for at least the next several decades. It is imperative that accurate information describing the amount, location, and quality of the coal resources and reserves be available to fulfill energy needs. It is also important that the United States extract its coal resources efficiently, safely, and in an environmentally responsible manner. A renewed focus on federal support for coal-related research, coordinated across agencies and with the active participation of the states and industrial sector, is a critical element for each of these requirements. Coal focuses on the research and development needs and priorities in the areas of coal resource and reserve assessments, coal mining and processing, transportation of coal and coal products, and coal utilization.
