Most costly coal-fired plants to run are prime targets for closure, EIA study finds
The U.S. has seen more than a fifth of its coal-fired generating capacity closed since 2011, and plants with higher operating costs were more vulnerable to closures, according to the federal Energy Information Administration (EIA). Between 2011 and the end of 2017, the total coal-fired generating capacity in the U.S. dropped to 257 gigwatts (GW) from 318 GW. “Because of more competitive ...

Does coal have a future?
President Trump took steps to keep his promise to revitalize the coal industry by signing executive orders aimed at reducing the environmental regulatory burden on coal. But is it too little, too late to save coal? Even with the president’s actions, large coal plants in the U.S. are still facing early retirement – not for regulatory reasons, but due to economic factors. Low natural ...

$2.5 Trillion Investment In New Coal-fired Plants In The Next 25 Years
World coal-fired power generation capacity will rise from 1.3 million MW in 2006, to 1.7 million MW in 2011, and to 2.7 million MW in 2030. This will require more than 1.7 million MW of new coal-fired construction to account for retirements as well as growth. The investment in these new plants will exceed $2.5 trillion. This is the prediction in the new McIlvaine online continuously updated, ...

Ex-Im Bank rejects coal-fired plant in Vietnam
The Export-Import Bank of the United States has rejected a proposal to provide financing for a new coal-fired power plant in Vietnam. The bank's board of directors cites the project's likely effect on global warming in its vote on Thursday. President Barack Obama said last month that the U.S. will no longer support building coal-fired power plants abroad as part of an effort to curtail global ...

Hundreds of New Coal-fired Ethanol Plants Will Create a Huge Equipment Market
The U.S. is following the lead of Brazil and is building hundreds of ethanol plants with the goal of substituting this home grown product for gasoline. While the first plants were built with gas-fired boilers, new plants are likely to use coal-fired steam generators. Some are already operating and others are in construction. The impact of the coal-firing will add billions of dollars in ...

Utilizing the Excess Coal-fired Boiler Talent in the U.S.
The U.S. is not building new coal-fired power plants and will be shutting down nearly 70,000 MW of existing power plants. There is uncertainty regarding the remaining 190,000 MW depending on clean power regulations. The result of this shrinkage is a large excess of coal-fired boiler talent in the country. Two options for beneficial use are to channel this talent into: Other types of power ...
