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...

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...

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....

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 analyze the level of competition in this market which is...

Die Bedeutung von Kohle wird heute oft unterschätzt, da sie lange als eine Ressource der Vergangenheit galt. Dabei ist Kohle nach wie vor Grundpfeiler der Stromerzeugung in den meisten Ländern: Ein Viertel des weltweiten Primärenergieverbrauchs wird durch Kohle gedeckt. Während die größten...

Der Pro-Kopf-Stromverbrauch in Indien, der heute noch zwölf Mal niedriger ist als in Deutschland, soll sich laut Prognosen der Internationalen Energie- Agentur bis 2030 verdreifachen. Die dringend erforderliche Elektrifizierung des Landes wird zum überwiegenden Teil mit Stromerzeugung aus...
