The report documents a series of coal market and price forecasts for the Gas Research Institute (GRI) to determine both the supply constraints on available quantities of coal and the projected coal prices from each U.S. coal supply region into each National Energy Reliability Council (NERC) and GRI demand region. Price forecasts for both utility and industrial coal markets, broken down by both NERC and GRI demand regions and by sulfur categories, were developed. Generation and tonnage forecasts were based on GRI projections, and domestic coal demand was modeled using the current GRI Baseline Projections. The findings indicate that the demand for U.S. coal will continue to increase over the next twenty years. However, reserves remain plentiful and supply constraints appear unlikely. Utility delivered prices will remain steady over the forecast period; industrial coal prices will rise by 11 percent during the same period.
