Low-CV Coals: Can Consumers Get an Appropriate Discount?
Dwindling
economically recoverable resources of high-CV coals and chronic
logistical problems have led customers to to re-evaluate their
stance on traded low-CV sub-bituminous coals.
This
low-CV trade, however, has not yet seen development of market maturity

New World Order for Energy?
The web of policy,
technology, and market developments taking place within the energy
sector across the world converged profoundly in the recent climate
negotiations held in Copenhagen. Many see the results of Copenhagen -

Energy Edge has prepared a series of client briefings based on its
involvement at the climate talks that outline some of the most
prospective scenarios for how climate policy will impact investment

happening that was reflected in the Copenhagen conference.

Post-Copenhagen Review
Following Copenhagen, when a non-binding “Copenhagen
Accord” was agreed by many (but not all) the key players, countries

Energy Edge’s Karl Schultz, who attended the Summit,
considers what has happened since Copenhagen and demonstrates that the
Copenhagen Accord, while perhaps a disappointment, is going to force
vastly deeper cuts in emissions and impact a much wider set of economic
players than Kyoto, and considers what this means for energy investment
decisions.
