OSTI ID:5156077
The outlook for coal demand, production and trade under two oil price scenarios and the scenarios for world economic growth rates are analysed. A review of the long-term expectation for economic growth, oil prices and total energy demands is made and the competitive advantage of coal relative to alternative energy sources is assessed. The most critical factor affecting the outlook for coal is likely to be the rate of growth in world economics.
