Take-Or-Pay Coal Contracts

April 27, 2009

Coal Prices Crumble | www.forbes.com

    Both steam and metallurgical coal demand are down.  United States steam coal (for electricity generation) is down due to the economic slump affecting industrial demand and switching to cheaper natural gas-fired electricity generation in some areas of the nation.  Metallurgical coal demand is down due to the crushing drop in steel production domestically and globally.                    Although coal demand is down significantly, it does not necessarily allow coal under contract to be excused for purchase.

Potential New Emissions Rules: Effect on Electricity Generation

April 27, 2009

Central New York Rep. John McHugh Takes Aim at Acid Rain | www.syracuse.com

    Some in Congress are using the debate in Washington, DC on carbon tax to also include additional limits on mercury, nitrous oxide (NOx), and sulfur dioxide emissions (SO2) from coal plants.  Many proposals have been floated in Congress (one of which is linked here) to limit these emissions.  If any of these proposals were to pass and become law, it will have significant impact on electricity generation.

Potential Setback for Central Appalachia Mine Permits

March 24, 2009

EPA Halts Hundreds of Mountaintop Mining Permits | www.miamiherald.com

    EPA sent two letters to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers expressing serious concerns about the need to reduce the potential harmful impacts on water quality caused by certain types of coal mining practices, such as mountaintop mining. The letters specifically addressed two new surface coal mining operations in West Virginia and Kentucky. EPA also intends to review other requests for mining permits.     This EPA action follows shortly after the Court’s favorable ruling on the mining practice in February 2009.  This EPA action may negatively affect the producers.

Potential Consequences of EPA’s Proposal Regarding Global Warming on Infrastructure Projects

EPA: Global Warming Endangers Health. Finding Could Have Far-Reaching Implications for Economy and Environment | www.washingtonpost.com

    Back in Spring 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) may regulate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.  It appears the EPA in the new Presidential Administration may be moving forward in declaring global warming endangering health, requiring regulation on CO2 emissions.   The analysis section below discusses how this could have an effect on infrastructure projects.

Carbon Cap and Trade Program – Structure and Cost on Fossil Fuel-Fired Electricity

March 23, 2009

Obama Proposal Angers Coal Industry, Including Southern Indiana’s Duke Energy | www.newsandtribune.com

    The proposals by the Administration in Congress for a reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions include what is called a “Cap and Trade” program.  Under a Cap and Trade program, the amount of annual CO2 emissions would be capped and an entity would have to have a CO2 allowance for each ton (or metric ton depending on the final wording of the law) emitted during the year.
