The importance of South African coal to the market is impossible to overestimate.
With the continual growth expected on the international markets, the puzzling lack of South African expansion in recent years has been the major driving force behind unprecedented world price levels. But whatever the world is counting on from South Africa, the needs of the country’s own power producers have for a ready supply of reliable, local, competitive coal is paramount to its growth and prosperity.
The conundrum is, with all this need, and with 2008’s extraordinary prices, why can’t this coal get to market?

From the UCG Partnership website,
The UCGP International Conference on Underground Coal Gasification, held each February, is recognised as the definitive conference on UCG. It is attended by those with an active interest in UCG, those wishing to learn more about UCG and those whose skills would compliment and assist in UCG commercial deployment. Last year over 135 senior delegates from 35 countries attended the two day event and we had presentations describing new and existing UCG activities from around the world, plus up to date technical presentations and papers on CO2 sequestration and storage and new developments.

Today’s headlines abound with news on announcements of new coal-based power plants and energy facilities, followed by news of judicial and PUC rejections of these projects and efforts by environmental groups to attack and stop their development.
Join us for a one-day program that provides an update on the status of the development of new coal facilities and insights from analysts and fellow utilities/developers on prospects for building coal projects in the future. You’ll also learn from industry and advocacy experts providing lessons and practical information on how to generate community and policy support for energy projects.
