Coal has been the world's fastest-growing energy source in absolute
terms for over a decade. Coal also emits more CO2 than any other
fossil fuel and contributes to serious air pollution problems in
many regions of the world. If we hope to satisfy the demand for
affordable energy in emerging economies while protecting the
environment we need to develop a keen understanding of the market
that supplies coal. This book offers an in-depth analysis of the
key producers and consumers that will most influence coal
production, transport, and use in the future. By exploring how
countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Australia, and South
Africa have developed their respective coal industries - and how
these industries link together through the international coal trade
- experts shed light on how the global coal market may evolve, and
the economic and environmental implications. This book is the most
comprehensive treatment of these topics to date and will appeal to
a wide readership, including scholars and practitioners working on
energy economics and policy.
