Otmane El Rhazi : Spot steam coal prices in 2014 fell in east and rose in west

Otmane El Rhazi from Today in Energy.



Eastern spot steam coal prices declined in 2014 compared to 2013 levels because of a decline in steam coal exports. The price declines were particularly pronounced in the second half of the year, as natural gas prices dropped below $4/MMBtu, making higher-priced eastern coals less price competitive as a fuel for generating electricity.
