The World Coal Market Research Report looks at the "come-back" of coal. A relentless increase in world demand for energy, large price increases for natural gas, growing concern about imported energy and security of supply, indecision about nuclear power are all factors which are contributing to the renaissance of coal. Despite the ‘dash for gas’ in the last two decades, coal remains the number two source of primary energy. This renaissance is taking place in many countries, but by far the most important driver is escalating demand in China, accompanied by growth in India and by continued strong demand in the USA.
