Marketing prospects for Illinois basin coals
- RDI, Boulder, CO (United States)
A perspective is given of markets for Illinois Basin coals within the national context. In recent years, prospects have started to brighten slightly for a series of reasons. First, production trends, transportation issues, marketing and the outlook are discussed. Some of the factors that are going to be important to watch in the future; for instance, the way the acid rain bill actually shakes out in the next couple of years; other environmental restrictions that could end up having a reverse impact on some Illinois Basin coals; and generally, what may happen as a result of the major movements toward deregulation in the utility industry are described. These factors are going to have a significant impact on the coal industry altogether.
