MEMORANDUM 

TO: Michael Shelby, EPA 

FROM: Craig D. Ebert,

 lc*S__j&»>. 

SUBJECT: New Coal Prices for Industrial NSPS Analyses 

This memorandum provides new coal prices for EPA's industrial NSPS 

analyses. These coal prices have been developed using the same methodology 

outlined in an earlier memorandum from ICF to EPA entitled "Revised Industrial 

Coal Prices for Industrial NSPS Analyses" (May 31, 1984). This approach is 

reviewed briefly below. 

Development of Coal Prices 

The coal prices are presented in Attachment A; these prices are shown on a 

delivered basis for industrial consumers in each of the ten Federal regions 

for the years 1985, 1990, 1995, and 2000. These coal prices are an 

aggregation of more detailed coal prices forecast by ICF's Coal and Electric 

Utilities Model (CEUM). They have been developed from the assumptions and 

macroeconomic specifications used in EPA's most recent Base Case forecast for 

acid rain mitigation analyses. This forecast is discussed in greater detail 

in Analysis of 6 and 8 Million Ton and 30 Year/NSPS and 30 Year 1.2 Lb. Sulfur 

Dioxide Emission Reduction Cases, prepared by ICF for EPA, February 1986. 

The Base Case forecast and the coal prices that resulted from it were based on 

the following oil prices: 

World Oil Price 

Year (January 1986 $/barrel) 

1985 28.70 

1990 29.80 

1995 34.80 

2000 39.70 

2010 50.90 

Natural gas prices were assumed to be deregulated and generally competitive 

with residual oil. 

The procedures used to develop the coal prices in Attachment A have been 

discussed in earlier memoranda; the basic approach is summarized below: 
P.3 

• Delivered coal prices were developed from ICF's Coal and 

Electric Utilities Model (CEUM) for each of the demand 

regions shown in Figure 1. These delivered prices are 

based on the cost of purchasing coal from the supply 

regions listed in Figure 2 and transporting it to each 

demand region. Coal prices in the CEUM supply regions are 

developed for about 50 different coal categories. For this 

analysis prices are presented for 12 representative 

coal-types. These 12 coal classifications are listed in 

Attachment A by rank of coal and sulfur content.1-

1 

• The lowest delivered price for each representative 

coal-type in each CEUM demand region was used to calculate 

the Federal regional prices. 

• To calculate a weighted average price for each Federal 

region based on the CEUM prices, each CEUM price was 

weighted according to the amount of all industrial demand 

in the CEUM region as a proportion of total industrial coal 

demand throughout the Federal region. For example, if New 

Mexico was forecasted to consume 5 percent of all coal 

consumed by industrial customers in Region 6, then 

delivered coal prices in New Mexico were accorded 5 percent 

of the weighting in the Region 6 coal price. Delivered 

coal prices into a CEUM region were included in the 

weighting regardless of the amount of the coal-type 

consumed in the CEUM region. 

As we have mentioned before, there is no completely satisfactory method 

for using a single coal price to represent the full range of prices facing 

potential industrial customers throughout a Federal region. To understand the 

amount of variation that may occur, Attachment B provides the range of coal 

prices that were used to develop the composite prices in Attachment A. To the 

extent that some industrial customers within the Federal region can obtain 

coal at prices significantly different from the composite price listed in 

Attachment A, investment decisions may be different than the decision 

indicated by the composite price. For example, in Region 6 the composite 

price in 1990 is $3.17 per million Btu for bituminous low-sulfur coal, but the 

range of prices in the region is $2.05 to $3.40 per million Btu. 

For purposes of comparison these delivered coal prices should be viewed as 

a weighted average of coal prices available to prospective industrial coal 

consumers. They are not comparable to the coal prices paid by industrial 

consumers currently consuming coal. That is, the delivered coal prices in 

Attachment A indicate the weighted average prices that industrial consumers 

considering an investment in a new coal-fired boiler could receive. The 

actual price paid for coal will depend on whether the industrial consumer 

invests in a coal-fired boiler as opposed to another alternative, such as 

1JMore information on coal quality characteristics and the detailed 

methodology that was used to compute the delivered prices can be found in the 

ICF memorandum to EPA entitled "Industrial Coal Prices for NSPS Analyses by 

Federal Regions" (April 22, 1983).

natural gas or residual oil. To a large extent, the location of the 

industrial consumer within the Federal region will determine the actual price 

paid for coal since coal-firing will be more economic for those companies that 

can obtain coal at the prices toward the lower end Of the range indicated in 

Attachment B. 

As indicated earlier, these coal prices were developed from the most 

recent EPA Base Case for acid rain analyses. This Base Case was developed in 

the fall of 1984. To the extent that the new scenarios EPA chooses for its 

NSPS analyses are substantially different from the assumptions and macroeconomic specifications used in the Base Case, the coal prices may not be 

fully compatible with the new scenario. For example, the oil prices used in 

the EPA Base Case may not be equivalent to prices one might select today given 

current market conditions. Oil prices that are significantly different for an 

extended period of time from the oil prices used in the EPA Base Case would, 

affect the coal prices presented herein since the coal markets are affected by 

other energy prices. Additionally, since the EPA Base Case was completed we 

have analyzed several changes in the coal markets that would lead to -

adjustments in our EPA Base Case assumptions on mining productivity, variable 

costs of mining, and types of mining capacity available for production. These 

refinements of coal mine production costs would tend to lower the coal prices 

presented in Attachment A. 

Please review these prices at your convenience. If you have any questions, 

please do not hesitate to call me at (202) 862-1100.
