  7. Chinese Coal Value Chain • Coal Production • Coal Transport • Coal Use • Coal Resources • 46% of global total • 80% global fatalities in early 2000s • Half by key SOEs, 1/3 by private mines • Half by ultra-small mines in 1995 -> minimal • 47%of global total • half Chinese coal used for power generation, 9% for iron & steel, 7% for non-metal minerals, 5% for coal chemicals • National coal consumption cap • 48% of national coal output was shipped by rail • 36% by major coastal ports • 15% by inland • Integrated railway + coastal marine transport • Bottlenecks • 2nd largest coal reserves behind U.S. • Distribution of coal resources • Lack of coking coal • Quality deterioration of thermal coal

  8. Chinese Coal Imports/Exports Coal Exports Peaked in 2003 • Global coal trade is about one third of China’s domestic coal market. • China became a net coal importer in 2009. • China passed Japan as the world’s largest coal importer in 2011. • China’s coal imports in 2012 up 58%, reaching 289Mt. China encouraged coal exports Source: NBS and China Customs.

  9. China’s Coal Imports by Country Mt Source: China Customs.

  10. At least 6 coal export facilities proposed along the West Coast with aggregate capacity at >120 Mt/annum

  11. Sources of China’s Gas Supply • Can conventional fields deliver as expected? • Problem with CBM development. • Is coal-to-gas compatible with China’s conservation goals? • Can shale gas be kicked off? • Can pipeline gas deal with Russia overcome pricing dispute? • Is U.S. a potential LNG supplier? bcm Source: Energy Review.
