OVERCOMING U.S. COAL CHALLENGES
Despite
previous signs
of recovery,
the U.S. coal
sector has had
a difficult time
in recent
months.
Uncertainty in the run up to November’s Presidential elections
and continued low natural gas prices have combined to create a
challenging operating environment. But we are still talking about
a billion ton market with some of coal’s leading minds and most
advanced technologies. Overseas demand for U.S. coal remains
at good levels and there are opportunities for U.S. producers to
play a larger role in the international supply of coal. Join us in
Miami as Coaltrans USA returns for its 13th edition, giving you
face-to-face time with major players and offering in-depth
analysis of the major challenges facing your industry.
The price is right…or wrong!
It’s no secret that prices for both thermal and metallurgical coal
have been struggling across the globe, with metallurgical coal
prices in particular having fallen dramatically from highs of around
$300 in the not-too-distant past. Hear how major producers are
responding to this obstacle and thoughts on when we can expect
to see prices levelling out, together with commentary on the
potential for further M&A activity as a result of this decline.
Looking outward
With an increased focus on exports in the light of reduced
domestic demand, attention has turned to infrastructure
developments and how we can get the coal to port.
