Abstract
In this book I have looked at the coal market from several angles: (1) I examined the source of coal and the basic technical aspects of coal and mining in Chapter III, (2) I looked at the use of steam coal with a particular focus on the power markets but also discussed alternatives to coal in Chapter IV, and (3) I looked at the market as a whole with in-depth regional analysis of the various supply and demand regions in Chapter V, freight and logistics in Chapter VI, and then I discussed the global coal trade market putting everything together in Chapter VII before turning to the environmental section which includes an in-depth discussion about CO2 in Chapter VIIII.
