Background to this market research
China
NRG Expert has looked at coal prices in the coal market and
industry and found that for the first time China became a net importer of coal last year.
Demand from Southern and South Eastern provinces was met by cheaper
imports from Indonesia and
Australia rather than more
expensive coal from the provinces of Shanxi and Inner in the north, due to logistic
costs. Furthermore the rail network in China can only transport half of the country's
demand, and despite investments in the sector is unlikely to meet
demand in the near-term. Domestic supply is also likely to diminish
owing to the country's strategy of consolidating the nation's mines
to eventually close unsafe and inefficient mines. Consequently
China is ensuring security of
supply through a mixture of bi-lateral trade agreement and
acquisitions of overseas mining assets. One of the most ambitious
is China's Coal Geology
Engineering Corporation and Wanbei Coal Electricity Group's plan to
develop a potential 10 billion tonne coal mining resource in
Queensland, Australia. Bi-lateral
trade agreements have been signed with Mongolia, North
Korea and Vietnam. Only
time will tell whether China will
rely more on seaborne or overland imports to meet demand; although,
for the latter, improvement's in rail infrastructure will be
needed.
Demand
NRG Expert has looked in-depth at the coal market, and found that
in the near and long-term India,
China and perhaps Brazil are expected to drive growth for coking
coal for the domestic steel sector following projections of strong
growth in steel production and consumption in these countries.
Demand for coal will be driven more by China than India, in the former coal will be increasingly
used to produce a liquid fuel and chemicals such as olefins, a
long-chain polymer synthetic fibre, to reduce the country's
reliance on imports. Australia,
Indonesia and South Africa are expected to remain as major
exporters, with growth in exports from Russia, Mongolia and other countries in the region to
meet demand from China and, to a
lesser extent, India. For the US
mining sector, operations in the Power River Basin region may
increase. But will be balanced out by a reduction in output from
the East Appalachian region that mainly uses invasive mountain-top
mining operations. Any resurgence in the US coal mining sector will
only occur with improved clarity regarding the permitting process,
and incentives ensure domestic coal is cheaper than imports.
The switch from underground to surface coal mining is expected to
continue along with the consolidation of mining assets. More
mergers and acquisitions involving big players are likely.
