BTU-Hungry World Developing Economies Will account for 80% Global GDP by 2050 Energy Intensities Remain just a fraction of developed economies China Only part of the story unfolding
Scale and Pace of Developing World Urbanization • By 2020, developing countries will account for almost 80% of the world’s total urban population • The global growth is equal to adding the population of Mumbai every second month or Shanghai every third +950 +750 2030 Source: McKinsey & Company
Growing Opportunities: US Coal Exports • State-by-State coal exports economic analysis • Includes total jobs, gross value added, tonnage, capacity, employee compensation, and forecasting. • Educate policy makers on the coal leasing program and the benchmark process for royalty payments. • Advocate for new and expanded port capacity across the United States Policies that enhance competitiveness of U.S. coal exports • New and expanded export capacity nationwide • Regulatory streamlining for mine-to-market infrastructure Economic and trade benefits of increased U.S. coal exports • High-wage job creation throughout national and regional supply chain • Positive contribution to U.S. balance of trade • Fueling growth of emerging economies and creating demand for U.S. products
Domestic Coal: Directional Assessment • Energy Economics • Politics and Policy • Coal Repositions • Coal Rebounds
Projected Coal Plant Retirements as a Percentage of Total Capacity by Region - 2020 4.4% 30.3% 21% 7.4% 36.8% Nationwide Retirements: 68 GW 20% of capacity/14% of 2012 generation Source: EVA, NMA
Higher Capacity Factors for Remaining Plants Offset Retirements U.S. Coal Plant Utilization (Remaining 277 gigawatts) 68 GW 66% Source: EVA, NMA
Coal Fleet Size • Smaller units (<300MW) comprise 75% of the retirements • Almost 75% of the remaining coal fleet will be larger than 500 MW Source: EVA
Coal Fleet Age • By 2020— • 65% of the existing coal fleet is >40 years old • Youngest segment (<30 years) drops to 13% of entire fleet Source: EVA
Coal Fleet Heat Rate (MMBtu/MWh) • Emission Profile • (#/MWh) • SO2: - 25 % • NOx: -11 % Source: EVA
Situation Assessment • Coal fleet shrinks—but • Larger units predominate (~75% > 500MW) • Higher utilization rates = increased coal generation • New controls improve fleet emissions profile • Fleet continues to age • Aging fleet vulnerable to next round of EPA rules: • GHG NSPS standards for New Plants • GHG NSPS guidance for Existing Plants
