Why Global Coal Supply is Constrained
Global supply constraints are tightening markets
Australia
Infrastructure constraints limit
long
-term supply increase
Record rainfall threatens to
reduce production by 15 -
20Mt in 2011
Infrastructure needed to
supply global demand
China
Constrained rail & truck
infrastructure makes
shipping within China
difficult
Indigenous met coal is
lower quality
Formerly a net exporter,
currently a net importer
India
Plentiful indigenous coal reserves, but
lower quality
Poor transportation infrastructure

Russia, Vietnam

How Markets React to Higher Price
Thermal & met markets are co-dependent
Near-
to intermediate-term, coal production is a closed
system
Both metallurgical and thermal prices are rising
Met prices are rising very rapidly
Coal producer reactions
More thermal coal crosses over to met
Longer-term, more met mines will be opened or re-opened to
increase supply
Customer reactions
Use lower quality met coal
Re-direct higher quality met coal to higher priced steel
Increase use of electric arc furnaces for steel production
Uses scrap steel instead of met coal
