Coal Receiving Terminals in Relation to Electricity Generation in Developing Countries

J. Kraaijeveld van Hemert

Natural Resources Forum, 1984, vol. 8, issue 1, 37-49

Abstract: With the rapid increase in the price of oil in the 1970s, many developing countries are beginning to look to steam coal as an energy source. Much of this coal will have to be transported from coal‐producing countries to coal‐consuming countries by sea and coal‐receiving terminals will have to be built especially in those countries which have not been coal importers in the past. The international market in steam coal is examined and predictions are made as to the amount of coal that developing countries are likely to import from electric power generation. The operation of a coal‐receiving terminal is discussed and estimates are provided as to the size and cost of coal terminals required to meet the coal import needs of developing countries.
