Although it has received less attention than the plunge in oil prices since mid-2014, the drop in coal prices has had a profound impact on global energy markets. Underpinning the weakness in coal prices is the decline in coal consumption in China for the first time this century, while pledges to reduce CO2 emissions made by dozens of countries ahead of the UN climate negotiations in Paris in December 2015 are also providing negative sentiment for coal producers. Partly offsetting the gloom is demand from a few populous emerging economies in Asia - particularly India - and the high odds that coal will remain China's top energy source for several years to come.Market players are now wondering if coal prices have hit the bottom, how long producers can survive at these levels and when oversupply will be balanced. Whereas the low prices make coal producers struggle, they prove very attractive for power generators despite increasingly strong environmental policies, growing competitiveness of renewables and declining gas prices.This year's edition of the IEA's Medium-Term Coal Market Report presents, for the first time, a Chinese "Peak Coal" case, which explores the factors that could cause coal use in China to enter a structural decline. It also studies the potential impact of such a peak on supply, prices and trade flows. As in past editions, the report analyses recent trends in coal supply, demand and trade; provides forecasts for the next five years, and gives insights on questions that concern industry and policymakers..

Coal miners evoke admiration and sympathy from the public, and writers -- some seeking a muse, others a cause -- traditionally champion them. David C. Duke explores more than one hundred years of this tradition in literature, poetry, drama, and film. Duke argues that as most writers spoke about rather than to the mining community, miners became stock characters in an industrial morality play, robbed of individuality or humanity. He discusses activist-writers such as John Reed, Theodore Dreiser, and Denise Giardina, who assisted striking workers, and looks at the writing of miners themselves. H

Le Borinage... Quelle fascinante région ! Trois siècles façonnés et marqués quasi exclusivement par les mines de charbon. Le berceau d’un grand nombre d’innovations : technologiques (premières pompes à feu et machines à vapeur du continent), sociales (création du Parti Ouvrier Belge et des organisations syndicales) et économiques (une entreprise telle que le Grand-Hornu était organisée de façon capitaliste). Toutes les facettes de la vie étaient dominées par la mine, de la naissance à la mort. En témoignent les oeuvres de certains artistes, tels que Constantin Meunier, Vincent Van Gogh ou Cécile Douard. Puis les mines ont fermé. La plupart d’entre elles ont ensuite été détruites. C’est ce qui rend le paysage du Borinage si chaotique : le point de repère a disparu pour les dizaines de cités minières et de corons qui avaient été construits tout autour. Cet ouvrage présente le fruit de mes observations et découvertes faites durant ces trente dernières années, qu’il s’agisse des vestiges de ce passé ou de leur évolution dans le temps.
