Steam versus Coking Coal and the Acid Rain Program
The Clean Air Act of 1990 initiated a tradable permit program for emissions of sulfur dioxide from coal-fired power plants. One effect of this policy was a large increase in the consumption of low-sulfur bituminous coal by coal-fired power plants. However, lowsulfur bituminous coal is also the ideal coking coal for steel production. The analysis presented here will attempt to determine how the ...
متن کاملInternational Steam Coal Market Integration
This paper examines the hypothesis that there is a single economic market for the international steam coal industry and investigates the degree of steam coal market integration over time. The long-run relations between international steam coal prices are tested through cointegration analysis and the Kalman Filter analysis is employed to examine the convergence path of the price series.

متن کاملSlow Focus: Belief Evolution in the U.S. Acid Rain Program
This paper quantifies the beliefs of private electric utilities about the sulfur dioxide allowance price under the U.S. Acid Rain Program. This first large-scale cap-and-trade program exposed the heavily regulated electric utility industry to an unprecedented pollution permit market. The program offers an ideal setting for studying how firms behave in a new environment. I estimate firms’ belief...
متن کاملThe Effects of Volatile Materials of Non-coking Coal on the Reduction of Hematite
One of the most important methods to produce sponge iron is coal based reduction of iron ore. Direct reduction methods based on coal are being improved due to the abundance of coal sources and its lower cost in comparison with natural gas. Volatile materials in coal play an important role in the reduction of iron oxides. In this study, noncoking coal with high volatile materials from Iran and c...
متن کاملWhat about coal ? Interactions between climate policies and the global steam coal market until 2030
Because of economic growth and a strong increase in global energy demand the demand for fossil fuels and therefore also greenhouse gas emissions are increasing, although climate policy should lead to the opposite effect. The coal market is of special relevance as coal is available in many countries and often their first choice to meet energy demand. In this paper we assess possible interactions...
