1
Patrick Carragher
  • Coal Supplies and Clean Coal Technology

2
Global Coal Demand (Thermal)
  • Billion Tonnes
  • 1980 3.0
  • 2002 4.8
  • 2030 (est) 6-7

3
UK Coal Production (Underground)
  • Million Tonnes
  • 1955 211
  • 1983 105
  • 1993 43
  • 2005 10

4
UK Coal Production (Opencast)
  • Million Tonnes
  • 1983 14
  • 1990 15.7
  • 1996 16.6
  • 2003 13.1
  • 2005 10.2
  • Decline due to presumption against

5
Global Trade
  • Most coal production consumed locally
  • International coal traded in 2003 - 720 mt
  • Two main trading areas Asia and Europe
  • Two trading types thermal and coking
  • Main suppliers to international market
  • Australia
  • Indonesia
  • South Africa

6
  • Russia/Poland
  • Columbia/Venezuela

7
Principal Suppliers to Europe
  • Russia
  • Australia
  • Poland
  • South Africa
  • Incremental production in Columbia will be taken
    by USA
  • Incremental production in Indonesia (and some
    extent Australia) will be taken by China/Pacific
    Rim

8
UK Market
  • 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005
  • Electricity Generation 50.9 47.7 52.5 50.5 52.2
  • Domestic 2.9 2.2 1.6 1.7 1.3
  • Industry 1.5 2.2 1.6 2.1 2.0
  • Coking 7.9 6.5 6.6 6.4 6.6
  • Total 64.2 58.7 62.3 60.7 62.1

9
UK steam imports since 1999 mt
10
Imports by supplier ()
11
Can deep-mined coal compete?
  • Costs 1.41/GJ now, have been as low as the
    1.20s and as high as the 1.50s
  • Delivered prices are 1.80-ish and UKCs received
    price is 1.39/GJ
  • Quality is poor compared to imports (Sulphur)
  • A 2.00 Pound, or an import price collapse will
    spell trouble for the UK production
  • Would the generators stay with the indigenous for
    security?

12
Is there room at the ports?
13
Imports vs UK output mt
14
Imports Conclusions
  • International market likely to remain tight
  • Russia to remain main UK supplier provided high
    price
  • No guarantee for indigenous UK coal production
  • But indigenous important bulwark against
    international supplied/price volatility
  • Opencast particularly vulnerable

15
Clean Coal
  • Existing fleet 40 years old
  • Pulverised fuel (pf technology)
  • Environmental concerns of 1980s early 1990s acid
    rain
  • Hence Large Ccombustion Plant Directive

16
Late 90s Environmental Focus on Carbon
  • EU Emissions Trading Scheme
  • National allocation plan
  • Current fleet 29 GW (opted in) 20.5 GW

17
  • Opted in plant can run to 2016 possibly 2020
  • Opted out plant must close by 2015

18
New Technologies
  • IGCC and Advanced Supercritical (ASC)
  • Increase thermal efficiency
  • Prospect of further development

19
Clean Coal Task Group
  • Reported in June and recommended retention of
    current generating capacity with new Clean Coal
    Technologies
  • However, Government assistance necessary on
    number of levels
  • Price of carbon critical
  • Market certainty for investment critical

20
Current Projects
  • IGCC and ASC
  • Power Fuel Hatfield - 800 MW
  • Killingholme E.ON - 1000 MW
  • Progressive Energy - Teeside (EOR?) - 800MW
  • Progressive Energy - Valleys Project 450 MW

21
Supercritical
  • RWE Tilbury - 1000 MW
  • E.ON Kings North - 2X800 MW
  • Scottish and Southern - Ferrybridge - 500 MW

22
Carbon Capture and Storage
  • All the above projects are CCS adaptable
  • Peterhead (gas) EOR project
  • Infrastructure essential for CCS
  • New financial instruments

23
Conclusions
  • Much progress made
  • More to be done
  • Government and EU support essential
