Transportation Rate Sensitivity Analysis (also
available in printer-friendly
version  )On December 21, 2004, the Surface Transportation Board (STB) requested that the Energy Information Administration (EIA) analyze the impact of changes in coal transportation rates on projected levels of electric power sector energy use and emissions. pages: 52, released: May 2005, periodicity: One-time, contact Michael Mellish (202)586-2136 Coal Transportation: Rates and Trends in the United States, 1979-2001 (with Supplementary Data to 2002) The report presents transportation-rate data calculated between specific origins and destinations for the most recent period, from 1999 through 2001, and for two baseline years, 1979 and 1990. The tables in Section 1 also include data for 2002 that are available from coal distribution and coal receipts surveys conducted by EIA, which provide some insight into coal volume and origin/destination trends beyond 2001. pages: N/A, released: September 2004, periodicity: Data-Dependent, contact Fred Freme (202) 586-1251 Challenges of Electric Power Industry Restructuring for Fuel Suppliers The U.S. coal and electric power industries are tightly linked: more than 87 percent of total domestic coal consumption is used for generation by utilities, and coal accounts for more than 56 percent of utility power generation. The purpose of this report is to provide an assessment of the changes in other energy industries that could occur as the result of restructuring in the electric power industry. pages: N/A, released: September 1998, periodicity: One-time, contact William Watson (202) 586-1971 The U.S. Coal Industry in the 1990's: Low Prices and Record Production This article describes and examines structural and operational changes in the U.S. coal industry in the 1990's. During the decade, U.S. coal production continued an established growth pattern, buttressed by steadily increasing demand for coal for electric power generation. pages: 21, released: , periodicity: one-time, contact Fred Freme (202) 586-1251 Coal Industry Annual 1999 This report also presents data on coal consumption, coal distribution, coal stocks, coal prices, and coal quality. It also includes national total coal consumption for nonutility power producers that are not in the manufacturing, agriculture, mining, construction, or commercial sectors. pages: 312, released: September 2000 periodicity: N/A, contact: Fred Freme (202) 586-1251 U.S. Coal Supply and Demand: 1998 Review pages: 11, released: 1999, periodicity: Annual, contact: Fred Freme (202) 586-1251 Energy Policy Act Transportation Rate Study: Final Report on Coal Transportation (also available in printer-friendly version This is the third and final report to Congress by the Secretary of Energy, required by Title XIII of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. It examines changes in domestic coal transportation rates and coal distribution patterns since the enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA90). pages: 93, released: October 2000, periodicity: One-time, contact: Fred Freme (202) 586-1251 Energy Policy Act Transportation Rate Study: Interim Report on Coal Transportation The primary purpose of this report is to examine changes in domestic coal distribution and railroad coal transportation rates since enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA90). From 1988 through 1993, the demand for low-sulfur coal increased, as the 1995 deadline for compliance with Phase I of CAAA90 approached. pages: 136, released: October 1995, periodicity: One-time, contact: Fred Freme (202) 586-1251 Carbon Dioxide Emission Factors for Coal The Energy Information Administration (EIA) has developed factors for estimating the amount of carbon dioxide emitted, accounting for differences among coals, to reflect the changing "mix" of coal in U.S. coal consumption. pages: 8, released: August 1994, periodicity: One-time, contact: William Watson (202) 586-1971 more |
