Cutting the global economy's dependence on coal has always been seen as one of the most effective measures to reduce carbon emissions and ensure environmental sustainability. However, the demand for coal can vary greatly from country to country. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is...

This volume provides an overview of the political economy of coal in diverse country contexts. Coal is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions globally, accounting for about 40 percent of energy-related CO2 emissions. Continued construction of coal-fired power plants could make the...

This paper takes a new look at an old issue: the coal market integration in significant regions: Europe (East and West Russia), Asia (China and Indonesia), Africa (Mozambique and South Africa), America (Colombia), and Australia. Our main contribution is to perform this analysis in the...

Blended coal combustion technology is being applied in many power plants as a clean coal combustion technology. In order to investigate the effects of different factors on the pore structure and fractal properties of the blended coal coke, a low-temperature nitrogen adsorption method and...

Financial institutions around the world have announced halts to financing of coal-fired power plants (CFPPs). Non-profit and non-governmental organisations have financing, developed databases and reports that provide information on financial data and CFPP projects, as well as the quality of the...

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...

This paper builds a complex network of weighted and directed coal trade based on the international coal trade data in the United Nations trade database from 1999 to 2018, specifically analyzes the trade scale, trade relations, and trade distribution and other characteristics of international...

This table presents detailed coal export data by destination for OECD member states for the following coal products and aggregates: anthracite, coking coal, sub-bituminous coal, lignite/brown coal, coke oven, coke, hard coal, brown coal, steam coal, other bituminous coal and anthracite. The data...

In this table, statistics for different types of coal and coal products, including manufactured gases is shown.This table provides full supply and consumption data of coal such as primary energy supply,transformation sector, energy sector and final consumption based in kilotonnes for OECD...

In this table, calorific values for different types of coal and coal products are shown on a country by country basis. The aggregates for hard coal and brown coal are included for years prior to 1978 only. This table provides the calorific values used to convert raw tonnes of coal and coal...

This table presents detailed coal import data by origin for OECD member states for the following coal products and aggregates: anthracite, coking coal, subbituminous coal, ignite/brown coal, coke, oven coke, hard coal, brown coal, steam coal, other bituminous coal and anthracite. The data are...

In this table, a balance for different types of coal and coal products, including manufactured gases is shown. The aggregates for hard coal and brown coal are also included, as is a product coal which includes all primary coal types, and all derived coal products with the exception of gas works...

What are the child health and human capital consequences of India's large coal power expansion? Using variation in local coal capacity within place across cohorts, I find that exposure to a median-sized coal plant at birth is associated with a 0.1 standard deviation child height deficit....

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....

This paper demonstrates that an investment decision such as the acquisition of a new technology that affects a particular asset is associated with the dynamic trading network of this asset. Therefore, the exogenous variables of this trading network can be used to identify the determinant factors...

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...

In this paper, the flotation separation of pyrite from sub-bituminous and meta-bituminous coals in the presence of slimes was investigated. The sub-bituminous coal and the meta-bituminous coal have significant differences in their surface properties compared with pyrite. The flotation...
