Global Coal Risk Assessment:
Data Analysis and Market Research
Ailun Yang and Yiyun Cui

KEY FINDINGS
1.

According to IEA estimates, global coal consumption
reached 7,238 million tonnes in 2010. China accounted for 46 percent of consumption, followed by theUnited States (13 percent), and India (9 percent).

2. According to WRI’s estimates, 1,199 new coal-fired
plants, with a total installed capacity of 1,401,278
megawatts (MW), are being proposed globally. These
projects are spread across 59 countries. China andIndia together account for 76 percent of the proposed
new coal power capacities.
3. New coal-fired plants have been proposed in 10 developing countries: Cambodia, Dominican Republic,
Guatemala, Laos, Morocco, Namibia, Oman, Senegal,
Sri Lanka, and Uzbekistan. Currently, there is limited
or no capacity for domestic coal production in any ofthese countries.
4. Our analysis found that 483 power companies haveproposed new coal-fired plants. With 66 proposed
projects, Huaneng (Chinese) has proposed the most,
followed by Guodian (Chinese), and NTPC (Indian).
5.

The “Big Five” Chinese power companies (Datang,
Huaneng, Guodian, Huadian, and China PowerInvestment) are the world’s biggest coal-fired power
producers, and are among the top developers of proposed new coal-fired plants.

WORKING PAPER | November 2012 | 1

6. State-owned power companies play a dominant role inproposing new coal-fired plant projects in China, Turkey, Indonesia, Vietnam, South Africa, Czech Republic
and many other countries.
7.

Chinese, German, and Indian power companies arenotably increasingly active in transnational coal-fired
project development.

8. According to IEA estimates, the global coal trade roseby 13.4 percent in 2010, reaching 1,083 million tonnes.
9. The demands of the global coal trade have shifted fromthe Atlantic market (driven by Germany, the United
Kingdom, France and the United States) to the Pacificmarket (driven by Japan, China, South Korea, India
and Taiwan). In response to this trend, many new infrastructure development projects have been proposed.
10. Motivated by the growing Pacific market, Australia is
proposing to increase new mine and new port capacity
up to 900 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) — threetimes its current coal export capacity.

INTRODUCTION
Coal-fired power plants are the largest contributor to
the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.
In 2010, 61 countries produced coal and 104 countries
consumed it (Table 1). Global coal production reached
7,228.712 million tonnes that year and coal consumption
reached 7,238.028 million tonnes. More than 60 percentof the coal consumed was used to generate power.1
This working paper assesses current global coal risks tothe climate. It identifies the countries and companies
involved in global coal production and consumption, andsheds light on global trends by mapping the proposed newcoal power plants and related infrastructure.
The paper is organized into five parts. Part 1 lists the
proposed new coal-fired plants around the world, basedon available data. Part 2 lists existing coal-fired plants.
Part 3 offers an overview of the global coal trade, including
analyses of country trends. Part 4 summarizes available
studies of coal financing. Part 5 notes data gaps that canbe filled by future research.

2 |PART I: PROPOSED COAL-FIRED PLANTS
Methodology
To complete the data analysis required for this working
paper, the authors collected data from a variety of sources.
These include commercially available databases such as
Platts and the International Energy Agency (IEA), government and corporate websites, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and research institutions, and the media.
When possible, the authors corroborated the data withfield knowledge. The authors contacted over 40 researchers, NGOs, and journalists around the world who work
closely on coal issues, to help verify data.
The data collected in this working paper reflect the best
knowledge of the authors at the time this research was
conducted in July 2012. The decision to include a projectin this collection does not take into consideration whether
the project is officially seeking approval, what the timelineof the project construction is or the likelihood of the project being built eventually.
The inventory of proposed coal-fired plants consideredhere does not include plants that are already under construction, with two exceptions: Construction sometimes begins before a project has
secured the approvals or permits needed for full operation. This scenario is common in countries whereplanning and approval procedures are ambiguous,
such as China and India. Often, many approvals or
permits are required and the process for granting
them is not well coordinated.
 In some countries, such as the United States and theNetherlands, legal decisions concerning proposed
coal-fired plants are pending.
Because of differences in administrative structures
among countries, this paper does not categorize thestatus of each proposed project according to a consistent
set of definitions. Instead, when describing the statusof a project, the paper uses definitions drawn from thespecific country context.

Overview
By July 2012 the authors of this paper had identified 1,199
proposed new coal-fired plants, with a total installedcapacity of 1,401,278 MW. These projects are spread
across 59 countries. Table I.1 ranks the countries according to proposed coal-power capacity. A complete list of
proposed coal-fired plants is included in the appendix.

Even after years of rapid development, China has asignificant number of coal-fired power projects in thepipeline. As of July 2012, China had proposed adding
363 coal-fired plants with a combined capacity exceeding 557,938 MW.2 China’s 12th Five-Year-Plan approved
16 giant coal-power bases, mainly in the northern andnorthwestern provinces of Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang,
Shanxi, and Shaanxi. Most of the proposed projects arelocated near coal mining fields and are spurred by local

government policies that incentivize integrating the coalmining business and power generation.

Developers of the Proposed New Coal-Fired
Power Plants

To curb coal consumption and reduce pollution, China’s
12th Five-Year-Plan for the coal industry includes a target
to cap the annual domestic coal consumption of 3.9 billion tonnes by 2015.3 Many observers are skeptical that
this target will be reached given that China’s 2012 coalconsumption is already likely to exceed it.4 Some industry
analysts predict that China’s coal demand will reach 4.8
billion tonnes by 2016.5

In total, 483 power companies are proposing new coalfired power projects around the world. Table I.2 lists thecompanies that are proposing more than one new plant.

Coal-fired power companies in China have suffered significant financial losses in recent years — a reality thatreceives little attention outside of China. According toa State Electricity Regulatory Commission report, thetop five Chinese power companies lost a total of RMB 15
billion (US$2.4 billion) in their coal-power generation
business in 2011. Chinese power companies face the dual
challenges of rising coal prices on the one hand, and agovernment-imposed electricity price freeze on the other.
Investments in new coal-fired plants dropped 26 percent
in 2011 to less than half of what they were in 2005.6 Public
opposition to coal-fired plants is increasing and construction of many approved plants has been delayed. It is
unlikely that China will realize its coal ambitions.
India’s coal-fired power capacity is rapidly expanding,similar to China’s experience over the last 10 years.
Research conducted for this paper identified 455 proposed new coal-fired power plants in India, with a total
installed capacity of 519,396 MW. These projects are
spread across 18 states, with the largest concentration inAndhra Pradesh (southeast coast), Chhattisgarh (interior
state), Maharashtra (southwest coast), Orissa (northeast
coast), Madhya Pradesh (interior state), and Jharkhand(interior state).
However, the realization rate of coal power projects in
India tends to be low for a variety of factors including
coal availability, land and water resource availability andpublic resistance. Concerns about land seizures, air andgroundwater pollution, the effect of thermal discharges
on fisheries, and the displacement of communities have
fueled local opposition to coal-fired plants.

6 |Most of the top companies are either Chinese or Indian.
The top five state-owned power companies in China(Datang, Huaneng, Guodian, Huadian, and China PowerInvestment—collectively known as “the Big Five”) are
involved in 222 proposed projects. All are located in
China, except two in Burma. With 47 proposed projects,
state-owned NTPC is India’s most aggressive coal-fired
plant developer, comparable to China’s Big Five. However,the share of private companies in India’s power sector issignificantly increasing and the vast majority of projects inthe pipeline are proposed by private corporations.8
Chinese coal power developers are already attempting to
expand to other Asian countries, including Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, North Korea, Pakistan, and Vietnam.
In comparison, Indian coal power developers are more
inward-looking, although they too are increasingly showing
overseas ambitions. For example, Tata recently indicatedthat it is considering potential projects in Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Turkey. 9
Transnational coal power developers are more common
in Europe. Germany’s RWE is proposing new plants in
Bulgaria, Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland. E.ON—
also German—is proposing projects in Germany, Italy,
the Netherlands, and Romania. Italy’s Enel is proposing
plants in Italy and Romania.

PART II: EXISTING COAL-FIRED PLANTS
Table II.1 summarizes global coal power generation in2009 by country. The three largest coal power producers
are China (36.2 percent of the global total), the UnitedStates (23.7 percent), and India (7.7 percent).

Table II.2 lists the world’s 40 largest coal-fired electricity
producers. The top five are Chinese state-owned powercompanies (Datang, Huaneng, Guodian, Huadian, andChina Power Investment Group). Together, these companies account for about 40 percent of the total existing
electricity market share in China.

PART III: GLOBAL COAL TRADE

Table III.1 | World Top Coal Import Countries(2010e,* in million tonnes)

Overview
After a slight decline in 2008, the global coal trade hasrebounded and continues to grow.10 In 2010 the global
coal trade rose by 13.4 percent, reaching 1,083.1 million
tonnes. This growth was fueled by the worldwide economic recovery and China’s expanding coal intake;11 in2009, China moved from being a long-term net exporterto net importer of coal.12
The two primary coal-trade markets—the Pacific and theAtlantic—are characterized by different trends. The Pacificmarket is expanding rapidly, driven mainly by China andIndia, but also by the traditional big importers in theregion: Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. Conversely, theAtlantic market has declined due to the economic slowdown and growing social resistance to coal-fired plants in
Europe and North America.
Figure III.1 illustrates the growth history and IEA futuredemand predictions for the two markets. China and India
together imported 267.1 million tonnes of coal in 2010.
IEA predicts that China and India will account for 90
percent of the growth in coal demand by 2016. During thesame period, demand in the OECD countries will be sluggish, at 0.2 percent per year.13
In 2010, the top five coal importers were all in the Pacificmarket (Table III.1). Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea—theFigure III.1 | World Inter-regional Hard Coal Net Tradeby Major Region

three traditional big importers—have enormous coalpower generation capacity (Japan ranked fifth, Taiwan
eleventh, and South Korea eighth) but almost no domestic
coal producing capacities. Together, they imported 374.83
million tonnes of coal in 2010. As pressure mounts tophase out nuclear power—especially in Japan in the wakeof the Fukushima accident—Japan and Taiwan’s coal
imports are likely to continue to grow.
In response to the market shift to more robust Asiandemand, all the major exporters are exploring ways toincrease their sales in the region. The world’s two biggest
coal exporters are Australia and Indonesia (Table III.2).
Their locations give them a unique advantage in reaching
Asian markets, and both are developing new mines andtransport infrastructure.
In contrast, other major exporters (including swing suppliers such as South Africa and the United States, and traditional Atlantic market suppliers such as Russia and Colombia) face transport bottlenecks in reaching Asian markets.
A growing number of infrastructure projects are addressingthese bottlenecks. In addition to the major exporters alreadymentioned, rising demand from China is fueling the growthof two new exporting countries: Mongolia and North Korea.

Country Analyses
Australia
Australia exports most of its coal to the Pacific market,
specifically China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. It exports a small amount of metallurgical coal toEurope and Brazil.14
Most exploration is centered in Queensland and New
South Wales (NSW). The Bowen Basin in central
Queensland is a major export region for coking coal.15
The utilization rate of export mining capacity in Australia was around 80% in 2010.16
Driven by growing Asian demand, 20 new mines began
operating in Australia between 2008 and 2010. Chinese andIndian companies are increasing their investments in Australia, also in response to Asian demand. IEA estimates thatcoal mining projects awaiting approval or under construction in Australia will add over 50 million tonnes of production capacity by 2016. An additional 125 million tonnes perannum (Mtpa) has been announced or planned.17

According to experts who have reviewed the companies’
proposals, IEA’s predicted numbers are far lower thanthe proposed expansion. In reality, additional production
capacity could reach as high as 800 to 900 Mtpa, althoughsuch a massive expansion is unlikely. Notably, the Galilee
Basin and the Surat Basin in Queensland, the Gunnedah
Basin, and the Hunter Valley in NSW are expected tobring vast deposits of steam coal into production between
2013 and 2015.18
Australian inland coal is transported to the export terminal by rail. Inland transport costs are moderate compared with other major exporters. Currently, Australia
has seven major coal ports in operation: Abbot Point, Hay
Point/Dalrymple Bay, Gladstone, and Brisbane, all in
Queensland, and Newcastle and Port Kembla in NSW.19
Transport facilities development has failed to keep pacewith the rapid growth of the coal mining industry. Since
2006, transport bottlenecks have been a growing problem.
In Newcastle, rail and port capacity shortages caused severecongestion of coal bulk carriers until 2010. An agreement
among the companies involved resolved the problem andport capacity expanded with the construction of a third coalloader at Kooragang Island. Currently, the two coal terminals at Hay Point are struggling with transport bottlenecks.20
According to local experts, pending proposals will, theoretically, increase export capacity from 445 to 1289 Mtpa. In
Queensland, infrastructure projects include the new Galilee
Basin rail line, the new Surat Basin rail link, the Abbott
Point coal port expansion, the Dudgeon Point port expansion at Hay Point, the new Balaclava Point Coal Terminal,
and the new Wiggins Island Coal Terminal at Gladstone.21
A series of “mega mines” have been proposed in the
Galilee Basin and this area is expected to become the newfrontier for Australian coal exports. Several integrated
mine, rail, and port projects have been proposed to control costs. The first project to be approved was the Alpha
Coal Project, developed by Gina Rinehart and the Indian
conglomerate GVK. It is the most advanced of the Galilee
Basin projects and consists of a 30 Mtpa mine, a rail line,
and a 60 Mtpa coal export terminal at Abbot Point. GVK
will own 79 percent of the Alpha mine and 100 percentof the transport infrastructure. Adani is due to release
its environmental impact study for the massive 60 Mtpa
Carmichael mine by the end of the September 2012, andits 180 Mtpa coal port expansion at Dudgeon Point is progressing through the approval process. 22

WORKING PAPER | November 2012 | 13

The new Queensland government recently abandoned theMulti-Cargo Facility proposed for Abbot Point. This will
likely accelerate the development of Galilee Basin, because
large coal companies are able to build stand-alone coalexport terminals more quickly and cheaply than governments. BHP and GVK are now planning two 60 Mtpa coalexport terminals, known as T2 and T3, at Abbot Point.
Similarly, Adani is planning a 35 Mtpa expansion (known
as T0) and Clive Palmer is proposing a 240 Mtpa coalterminal at the site.23
Newcastle provides most of the port capacity in NSW.
Port Kembla provides back-up infrastructure but has little
room for expansion. There are plans to expand the capacity of one of the first two coal terminals at Newcastle,from 77 Mtpa in 2010 to 101 Mtpa after 2012.24 A third
coal terminal with an initial handling capacity of 30 Mtpa,
commissioned in late 2010, will reach 53 Mtpa by 2013
and 66 Mtpa in 2015.25 The Terminal 4 project, slated to
begin construction in 2014 or 2015, is designed to increase
coal exports by 120 Mtpa. The mines under development
at Gunnedah Basin and Hunter Valley are further from thePort of Newcastle and require new rail infrastructure.

China
China is the world’s largest coal producer and consumer,
and a major coal importer and exporter. Driven by its
rapid economic growth and high reliance on coal for electricity generation, China’s domestic coal production nolonger satisfies its coal demand. China became a net coal
importer in 2009 (Figure III.2) and overtook Japan as theworld largest coal importer in 2011.26
The imbalanced geographic distribution of coal production and consumption is a longstanding challenge for
China’s domestic coal transport. China’s coal production ismostly concentrated in its northern and western regions,while demand is centered in the east and along the Pacificcoast. Over the past decade, mining activities have moved
towards the western inland regions of Inner Mongolia,
Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang provinces, evenfurther from the market.27
The capacity of the three existing major rail links thatconnect the western inland coalfields to the northern coalports nearly doubled between 2005 and 2010. New rail
infrastructure has not yet been built to deliver coal fromXinjiang to the faraway ports.28 There are seven major
ports in northern China from which coal is transported tosouthern China (Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, Jingtang, Huanghua, Qingdao, Rizhao and Lianyungang).

According to 2011 data, the top 10 countries from which
China imports coal are Indonesia, Australia, Vietnam,
Mongolia, North Korea, Russia, South Africa, the UnitedStates, Canada, and Colombia.29
Coal from Russia and Mongolia is mainly imported by rail
and road. In 2011, Mongolia became the top coking coalexporter to China, overtaking Australia thanks to its lower
prices.30 Additional transport infrastructure developments
have likely been proposed or are already underway, but
detailed information is difficult to obtain.
Coal from Canada, Colombia, North Korea, and the UnitedStates arrives in China primarily through the seven major
northern coal ports (Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, Jingtang,
Huanghua, Qingdao, Rizhao, and Lianyungang). These
ports are also used to transport coal to southern China,
Japan, and South Korea.
The southern coastal areas, in particular Guangdong andFujian provinces, import coal from Australia, Indonesia,
South Africa, and Vietnam. Because of the high cost oftransporting coal domestically, it is usually cheaper for
Guangdong and Fujian to purchase coal from abroad.31
In the north the seven major ports and a number of smaller
ones, including Yingkou and Weifang, have announced
expansion plans for the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011–2015).32
In the south, three ports (Zhuhai,33 Fujian,34 and Meizhou35)
have also announced expansion plans that could enhancetheir capacities to accommodate more coal imports.

Indonesia
Indonesia is the most important supplier of steam coalin the Pacific market and exports to China, India, Japan,
South Korea, and Taiwan.36 Most of coal mines in Indonesia are located on Kalimantan Island and Sumatera Island.
To promote mining development, new policies have beenenacted that simplify licensing and clarify responsibilities
among central, provincial, and district authorities. The“coal contracts of work” licensing system grants contract
holders exploitation rights to a coal deposit for 30 years
and royalty payments equal to 13.5 percent of the coalprice. With help from the government, coal production has
grown remarkably in the past decade.37 An additional 60
Mtpa of export mining capacity is projected by 2016.38
On Kalimantan Island, there are six large deepwater ports:
Adang Bay, Banjarmasin, Kotabaru, Pulau Laut, Tanjung

Bara, and Tarahan. Together, they have a total handling
capacity of 268 Mtpa. Smaller coal terminals across thecountry have a total capacity of 60 to 80 Mtpa. So far,physical infrastructure has not constrained exports fromIndonesia for two reasons. First, most of the coal deposits
that have been developed are close to the coast. Second,domestic coal is transported by road or river, which makes
railway construction for coal transport unnecessary.
Adoni Global has announced plans to build a 250-kilometer (km) railway and a port with 60 Mtpa throughput
capacity in the Sumatra region.39 In the long run, inland
infrastructure may need to be improved as coal mines
further from the coast are exploited.40 As of now, the flexibility of its inland transport system enables Indonesia torespond faster than its main competitors—Australia andSouth Africa—to new markets in China and India.41

South Africa
South African coal is cost competitive and the country’s
location makes it a convenient swing supplier between the
Pacific and the Atlantic markets. South Africa exports coalmainly to Europe (including Belgium, Denmark, France,
Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom), but an increasing shareis going to the East (mainly India, but also China, South
Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Taiwan). It also supplies
a small amount of coal to several countries in the Middle
East, Africa, and Latin America.42
Most of South Africa’s coal mines are located in the Central Basin.43 The expanded or recently developed Waterberg, Limpopo, and Soutpansberg Basins will further
boost coal production.44 Total mining capacity may reach132 Mtpa by 2016, up from 79 Mtpa in 2010.45
South Africa’s rail system has long been considered themain constraint on exports. The Richards Bay terminal
was recently expanded to handle 91 Mtpa of coal exports,
although its real utilization rate is much lower because of
the lack of rail capacity to the coast. 46
Some of the rail system upgrades currently underway are
expected to help alleviate these transport constraints.47
The development of South Africa’s coal transport system
has four key components: the Waterberg Feeder line,
the coal backbone system through the Mpumalanga and
Witbank area, the Richards Bay Coal Terminal coal export
line, and the Swazilink system. 48

The United States is an important swing supplier in the
global hard coal market. Compared with coal from othermajor suppliers, U.S. coal has price and quality disadvantages. Nevertheless, the recent demand boom from China
and India, as well as the decline in domestic consumption linked to low natural gas prices, has given the UnitedStates greater incentive to export.49
In 2011, U.S. coal exports reached a new high and ranked
third globally, below Australia and Indonesia. Exports toboth Europe and Asia increased dramatically from 2010 to2011. In the Atlantic market, supply was inadequate; Russian and Colombian exports were constrained by capacity,and South Africa shifted steam coal exports to Asia. In the
Pacific market, the United States filled the gap left by Australian export disruptions from flooding in Queensland.50
Currently, hard coal from the Appalachia region accounts
for a large portion of U.S. exports. Some high-sulfur steamcoal from the Illinois Basin is traded at a lower pricethan the Appalachian coal.51 The coal from public land in
the Powder River Basin of Montana and Wyoming has
attracted interest from companies hoping to transport itby rail to West Coast ports for export to Asia.52
In the 1990s, the United States became an important coalsupplier and developed its transport infrastructure forexport. However, transport costs restrict the competitiveness of U.S. coal in the global market. Rail distancesfrom Central Appalachia to the Atlantic ports run from600 km to 1,350 km; coal from the Illinois Basin travels
around 1,000 km by barge to reach ports on the U.S. Gulf
Coast. Inland transport costs are significantly higher in the
United States than in other main supply countries, including Australia, Colombia, Indonesia, and South Africa.53
High transport costs in the United States may create
export barriers in the long term.
The majority of U.S. coal exports move through theseaports of the East Coast (Norfolk and Baltimore) and
the Gulf Coast (Mobile and New Orleans). Together with
Detroit and Seattle, these seaports shipped 94 percent of
total U.S. coal exports in 2010.54 The utilization rate of
U.S. export terminals was less than 40 percent in 2009
and about 55 percent in 2010. These low numbers reflect
the less competitive supply costs of U.S. coal and lesseffective coordination between rail and port operators.55

An export hub is planned for the Pacific Northwest to help
bring Powder River coal to Asia. The proposed hub will
substantially enhance the region’s export capacity.56 Twolarge port projects have been proposed in Washington
State—Longview Terminal and Gateway Pacific Terminal
at Cherry Point, near Ferndale. Along with four smaller
projects, the proposals in Oregon and Washington will add
between 136.8 and 187.8 Mtpa in total export capacity. In
addition, 10 proposed terminals, although each small inscale, will together add 95.2 to 152.2 Mtpa in port capacity
along the Gulf Coast.57

RussiaIn 2010, the largest export destinations for Russian coal
were Europe, India, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, andChina.58 Russia became the world’s third largest coalexporter, behind Australia and Indonesia, but it is the top
exporter in the Atlantic market. More than half of Russian coal is currently sold to the European Union, but it
is expected that exports will shift to the Pacific market,
especially China.59 Russia imports coal primarily from
Kazakhstan, at a steady rate of around 20 metric tonnes ofcoal equivalent per year.
Although the Kuznets Basin dominates current production, growth is expected in the Kansko-Achinsk Basin andEastern Siberia, to accommodate to increasing demand
from Asia.60

Global Coal Risk Assessment

Long rail distances and inadequate railway capacity havedoubled the cost of inland coal transport in Russia overthe past few years, making Russian coal less competitive in the global market.61 From 2008 to 2030, railway
infrastructure investments will amount to US$55.5
billion. Five routes are targeted: the Hinterland connection between Novorossiysk and Tuapse, new rail lines
between Ust-Luga and St. Petersburg, connecting minesin the North Ural to Northwest ports, capacity extensionin Siberia, and the area around Vanino.62
Most of the ports for Russian coal exports are locatedin three regions: North Russia (the Baltic Sea Ports ofMurmansk, Vysotsk, Riga, Ventspils, Tallin, St. Petersburg, and Ust-Luga); South Russia and Ukraine (Mariupol, Tuaspse, and Yuzhny); and Far Eastern Russia(Vostochny, Vanino, and Muchka). Coal exports throughthe Baltic ports have dropped due to high transit fees
levied by the Baltic States, but have increased through the
Far East ports.63 The seaports of Vanino, Vostochny, andNakhodka serve an important role in maintaining tradewith Japan and South Korea.
To respond to strong demand growth in China and India,
port capacity in the Far East will be further enhanced.
Vanino, the second largest coal port in Russia, will update
its handling capacity from 13.5 Mtpa to 18.5 Mtpa by
2013. The port of Posiet is also expanding, from 5 Mtpa to
between 7 and 9 Mtpa by the end of 2012. In total, Russian
export terminal capacity is projected to increase by about
13 Mtpa over the next five years.64

Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan exports around 30 to 35 percent of its total
coal production. Most of Kazakhstan’s exported coal isdestined for Russia, but some is destined for a small number of European countries.65
Kazakhstan has the world’s third-largest open pit mine:
the Bogatyr mine, in the Ekibastuz Basin in northern
Kazakhstan. Bogatyr has a reserve of around 10 billion
tonnes of coal. Another massive coal basin is near Karaganda, at the center of the country. With numerous othersmaller deposits, Kazakhstan has recoverable coal reservesof around 34 billion tonnes, placing it among the world’s
top-10 producers. Coal production is expected to reach 134
Mtpa by 2015 and 151 Mtpa by 2020. Exports will increase
from the current 20 to 22 Mtpa, to 32 Mtpa in 2014. 66

Each of Kazakhstan’s major coal producing companies
has announced plans to increase its output. Bogatyr Coalis planning to nearly double its production by 2020. Theenergy division of ENRC, Kazakhstan’s largest metals
company and one of the largest producers of electricity andcoal in the country, increased coal production to 20.1 Mtpa
in 2010. Between 2011 and 2015, ArcelorMittal, which has
eight coalmines in the Karaganda region, is investing some
US$300 million to expand its coal capacity.67

Mongolia
The recent development of coal mining and exporting in
Mongolia has significantly boosted its economy. In 2011,32.99 million tonnes of coal was mined and 25.5 million
tonnes exported, making coal the country’s leading export
product. Recognizing the global demand for coal, especially from Asia, the Mongolian government has prioritized the coal industry for the past several years.68
As a landlocked country, Mongolia must build newtransport infrastructure to deliver its coal to the Chineseand Russian markets. The Mongolian Government hasannounced plans to cooperate with the governments ofRussia and China to resolve these transport challenges.
Russia and Mongolia collaborated on the second phaseof a railway project in Mongolia. Russian Railways helps
transport Mongolian coal from Naushki station, on the
Mongolian border, to Far East ports and other points inthe world.69
The distance from Mongolia to the Chinese port of Tianjin is much shorter than the distance to the Russian seaports. However, in addition to poor road and rail infrastructure, inadequate border crossing capacity hampers
transport from Mongolia to China. In the South Gobi
region, coal mined by one the largest coal companies
in Mongolia is transported to China through the Shivee
Khuren-Ceke border, where crossing infrastructure wasrecently expanded.70

North Korea
Most North Korean coal is exported to China.71 One ofNorth Korea’s largest coal mines is located in Jikdong,
Suncheon-si, Pyongannam-do, and is managed by the
Shuncheon District Coal Company and the Ministry of
Coal Industry. The mine is designed for a capacity of
1 Mtpa, and the current production is around 30,000
tonnes per annum (tpa). A 100 km railway delivers coalfrom Shuncheon to Nampo Port. 72

WORKING PAPER | November 2012 | 17

Another mine is located in the Gogeonwon labor district,
Kyeongwongun, Hamgyeongbuk-do, and is managed by
the Gogeonwon Labor District Coal Company and theMinistry of Coal Industry. It is also designed with a capacity of 1 Mtpa. However, actual annual mining production
data from the site are unavailable. This site is connected toNajin Port by a 100 km railway. 73

Colombia
Colombia’s mining capacity is projected to increase from79 Mtpa in 2010 to 138 Mtpa by 2016.74 Like South Africa,
Colombia is a major supplier to the Atlantic market, exporting coal to the United States and Europe, particularly the
Netherlands. Despite transport barriers, Colombia has
become China’s tenth largest source of coal imports.
All of Colombia’s existing export terminals are situatedon the Caribbean coast, leaving an inadequate transport
infrastructure to serve the growing Asian market. Until
now, the Panama Canal has been a bottleneck in the
Pacific route. However, its expansion will be complete by
2014 and the costs of transportation to China and other
Pacific buyers will drop significantly. Moreover, a 220 km
railway line between the Colombian port city of Cartagena
and the Pacific Ocean is under consideration. This rail line
would facilitate coal exports to China.75
According to the IEA, port capacity bottlenecks could bea limiting factor for Colombian exports over the medium
term. Expansions are scheduled for some ports in the
Santa Marta and Ciénaga regions. The capacity of Puerto
Drummond, where production from the César region isexported, will be increased to 27 Mtpa by 2013 or 2014.
The port of Puerto Nuevo near Santa Marta has a targeted
capacity of 23 Mtpa by 2013 or 2014. Additionally, thecapacity of the railway that links the César deposits tothe ports near Ciénaga and Santa Marta will be enhanced
from 42 to 44 Mtpa, to 88 Mtpa by the end of 2013.76 A
Brazilian coal mining company is building a new port
near Dibulla, with the first-stage capacity of 10 Mtpa to beachieved by 2013 or 2014, and a total capacity of 28 Mtpa
by 2016. Around the same time, a new rail line will be built
to link four newly developed mines with the new port.77

PART IV: COAL FINANCE
This section summarizes available studies on coal finance.
In recent years, several publications have provided useful
overviews of the financing and lending options for coaland its relevant industries. This summary is organizedin three parts: the role of international financial institutions in coal finance, the role of commercial banks in coalfinance, and other forms of subsidies for coal projects.

The Role of International Financial Institutions in
Coal FinanceInternational public financial institutions are importantand long-time contributors to the coal industry. Since
1994, multilateral development banks (MDBs) and industrialized countries’ export credit agencies (ECAs) havehelped finance 88 new and expanded coal plants in developing countries, as well as projects in Europe. Together,
MDBs and ECAs have provided more than US$37 billion
in direct and indirect financial support for new coal-fired
power plants worldwide. The World Bank has actually
increased lending for fossil fuel projects and coal plants inrecent years.78 An analysis by the Environmental Defense
Fund concludes that the lending strategies of MDBs and
ECAs in the energy sector do not sufficiently consider theenvironmental harm wrought by fossil fuel projects.
Table IV.1 lists the top public international financial
institutions (IFIs) that support coal power projects. Table
IV.2 lists the top financing countries by rank. Through theJapan Bank for International Cooperation and Nippon
Export and Investment Insurance, Japan plays a significant role in funding coal-fired power plants. Japanese
investments have targeted developing countries in Asia,
notably Indonesia and the Philippines. The United States
employs a variety of IFI channels to support coal-fired
power plants in developing countries. These include theU.S. Export-Import Bank, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the World Bank (the United States isthe biggest contributor), and a number of other multilateral public financial institutions to which the UnitedStates is a major contributor.79 Coal-fired power plants
sponsored by IFIs are largely concentrated in Asia, incountries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, China, India
and Vietnam (Table IV.3).
Figure IV.1 shows the top IFI financers of coal plants in
Asia. Figure IV.2 shows the top IFI financers of coal plants
in Europe.

The Role of Commercial Banks in Coal Finance
The world’s largest commercial banks continue to invest
significantly in the coal industry, from coal mining to coalfired plants. A study by Profundo, an energy research firm,
concludes that “while banks are employing a lot of climate
speak, this is more or less a smoke screen to continue theirfinancing of the coal industry. None of the adopted policies focus on what counts: the calculation and publicationof banks’ ‘financed emissions’ and the implementation ofemissions reduction targets.”80

Figure IV.3 illustrates the financing provided for coal-fired
plants and coal mining globally by the top 20 commercial
banks, from 2005 to 2011.
In the past three years, the Rainforest Action Network,
the Sierra Club, and BankTrack have published annual
report cards that grade U.S. banks according to theirfinancial investments and policies on mountaintop
removal and coal-fired plants. The findings suggest thatthe largest U.S. banks are highly engaged in the coalindustry.81 Banks often do not have policies regard-

Source: CoalSwarming coal finance and when they do, there may be a gap
between their policy and practice. None of the eight U.S.
banks82 evaluated has completely excluded mountaintop
removal from its financing activities. Although Bank ofAmerica, JPMorgan Chase, Citi, Morgan Stanley, andWells Fargo all signed the “Carbon Principles,” 83 which
apply to financing coal-fired plants, they were the top five
U.S. banks in coal financing in 2012. As the Rainforest
Action Network has noted, “There is no evidence that the
Carbon Principles have stopped, or even slowed, financing to carbon-intensive projects.”84
In the United Kingdom, the Royal Bank of Scotland has
been most heavily involved in financing coal. From 2008
through 2010, it provided €791.8 million to companies
that are among the world’s top 20 coal mine operators, and€7,201.8 million to companies that are among the top 20
coal-based electricity generators — a total of almost €8 billion. Ironically, the bank’s public position on coal finance isshifting towards more “climate-consciousness.”85
In Australia, Profundo evaluated seven banks based on
their investments in coal mining, coal-fired power stations, coal export ports, and renewable energy. Bendigo
Bank and Mecu did not provide financing to any of thefour sectors from 2006 to 2010. The other five banks —20 |Source: CoalSwarm

Australia and New Zealand Banking, CommonwealthBank of Australia, National Australia Bank, Suncorp,
and Westpac Banking — made a total of $A 5.5 billion
coal-related investments and $A 783.5 million renewablerelated investments during the same period. 86

Other Forms of Subsidies for Coal Projects
In addition to IFIs and commercial banks, coal is subsidized in many other ways. Common forms include direct
subsidies, tax credits, public loan or loan guarantees,
favorable accounting treatments, avoided carbon price,
and ignored social costs.

Direct subsidies for new coal power plants and coal mines
are widely applied in the European Union. For example,
until 2020, construction of new high-efficiency coalplants with carbon capture and storage implementation
can receive financial support of up to 15 percent of total
investment.87 The European Union requires that coun-tries phase out coal mining subsidies by 2018, but until
then, countries including Germany, Poland, Romania, andSpain continue to provide investment aids for coal mining.88 Poland also provides tax breaks that exempt all coalmining operations from paying for their water use.

In the E.U. context, carbon is priced through the E.U.
Emission Trading Scheme. However, the power sector
has received free allowances, which have contributed towindfall profits. Although free allocation will be replacedby auction in 2013, it is possible that new facilities will be
exempt from purchasing the initial allocation for anotherseven years.89
In the United States, domestic coal plant construction
and retrofits are subsidized through the Treasury Department, the Department of Energy, and the Department ofAgriculture’s Rural Utilities Service. For example, states
and local public authorities can use federal tax-exempt
funding, overseen by the Treasury Department, to financenew coal plant construction and life extension for existingcoal plants.90 A 2011 study found that the utilities/electricindustry accounted for 14 percent of federal subsidies, second only to the finance industry. From 2008 to 2010, theindustry reported a US$100 billion profit but as a whole
paid only a 3.7 percent tax rate. 91
Another example of a U.S. subsidy is a federal tax provision that reduces the income and capital gain tax rates
for coal mine owners by reclassifying income and capitalgains as “royalty.” The credit is estimated to have totaled
US$1.17 billion in tax expenditures from 2002 to 2009.
Non-standard accounting practices have also favored the
U.S. coal industry. By applying percentage depletion, mineral extraction companies are able to predefine a percentage deduction rate of gross income that is usually higher
than the actual costs induced by resource depletion.92
A broader definition of coal subsidization considers therecognized and unrecognized social cost of extracting andburning coal. Air pollution generated by coal imposessignificant costs on human health and the environment.
Black lung disease, for example, is caused by inhaling coal
dust during mining activities. The National Academy of
Sciences calculated the non-climate-related external costs
associated with coal electricity generation in the UnitedStates at US$62 billion for 2005.93 Similarly, the European
Environment Agency concluded that air pollution fromcoal plants cost Europe €112 billion in 2009.94 A study ofChina estimated that the external costs of all the coal usedin 2007 totaled RMB 1.7 trillion, or 7.1 percent of China’s
gross domestic production for the same year95 Indeed,coal is much more expensive when all the externalities arefactored into the equation.

22 |PART V: DATA GAP
Data Gap for New Coal-Fired Plants
 For Russia, the authors were only able to obtain the total figure for proposed coal power capacity announced
by the Russian Government. Additional efforts areneeded to identify particular projects. Researchers may
send requests for data to the Russian Energy Forecasting Agency at http://www.e-apbe.ru/en/contacts.
 For Ukraine, the authors were only able to find thetotal figure of proposed coal power capacity announced
in the Ukrainian energy policy.
 For Kazakhstan, the authors found only four proposed
coal-fired plants. Further efforts should be taken to
identify the details of these four projects.
 For Turkey, data about the status of coal-fired plant
proposals are missing. According to field knowledge,
the Turkey data is not as reliable as the other European country data.
 It is difficult to identify sources of field knowledge inmost Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Mongolia,
Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan) to help verify the data.
 Understanding the approval/permitting process forcoal-fired plants is crucial for the development of acountry coal strategy. In general, the administrativeand legal systems in North America and Europe are
more transparent than in other parts of the world,
and it is easier for civil society actors to intervene inproposed coal power projects. More research should
be carried out on how coal-fired plant projects are approved in countries such as China, where such knowledge is lacking.

Data Gap for Existing Coal-Fired Plants The authors did not consider existing coal-fired plants
for specific countries. Complete datasets of existingcoal-fired plants are commercially available. Further
analysis could help identify the data gaps for existingcoal-fired plants.

Global Coal Risk Assessment

Data Gap for Global Coal Trade Further research is required to identify the major
companies/investors in infrastructure developments
for coal trade expansion.
 The proposed capacity of new infrastructure development is significantly bigger than projected demands.
Further study should analyze the possibilities andconsequences of over-construction.
 Further research is needed to understand how growing
coal imports will affect domestic coal markets and coal
power developments in countries such as China and India.
 Further research is required to analyze how the reductions in nuclear power in Japan and Taiwan will affecttheir coal imports. Both countries depend entirely oncoal imports for their huge coal power generations.
 Further research is required to identify the source ofcoal supply for the proposed new coal-fired plants incountries with no domestic coal production capacities.
These include Cambodia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Laos, Morocco, Namibia, Oman, Senegal, Sri
Lanka, and Uzbekistan.

Data Gap for Coal Finance Most of the literature reviewed for this paper was produced by NGOs, including Coalswarm, the Environmental Defense Fund, and the Sierra Club. It would be
useful to review industry materials, in order to better
understand how the industry views the risks of financing coal development. An understanding of how risks
associated with coal finance are assessed by the industry would be especially useful for climate advocates.
 More in-depth research is required to unpack how
financing for coal projects works: the elements of afinancing package, how public and private banks interact, and what role government plays. A solid understanding of how deals are made is crucial to developing
an effective work strategy.
 This paper briefly touches on different forms of subsidies for coal projects. More country-based researchis needed to understand how coal is subsidized in aparticular country. Further research should also attempt to quantify the size of subsidies. This work could
be linked to the ongoing global “phase out fossil fuelsubsidies” discussions.
 There is little existing research that examines how
coal finance works in India and China—the two fastest
growing markets dominated by domestic players. It is
not clear to what extent coal-fired plant projects rely
on bank financing in these countries. Banks in China
and India do not appear vulnerable to the same reputational risks as their international peers. A closer lookat the coal financing models in India and China could
perhaps shed light on how effective finance campaigning can be organized in these two countries.
