Coal supply, consumer and transportation executives face an overwhelming number of marketplace and public policy challenges. The American Coal Council’s 2008 Coal Market Strategies Conference examines the many and varied dynamics at play in today’s U.S. coal industry and focuses on how coal producers, utilities, railroads, ports and barge operators are addressing the industry’s TOP 10 issues.
Today’s coal industry is subject to increasing scrutiny and unprecedented demands from legislators, environmental groups, shareholders and the general public. Business resources are being stretched thin to address safety, environmental compliance, permitting, technology development, and infrastructure needs. Operations and construction costs are rising in response to unprecedented global demand for labor, steel, petroleum products and engineering services. Supply dynamics are shifting with emerging markets for U.S. exports and the increasing use of scrubbers.
Attendees will benefit from the opportunity to learn about a broad spectrum of the industry’s most pressing issues, including how these factors interact and affect decisions regarding mine and power plant development, fuel sourcing and strategic planning.
