The end of cheap coal? A techno-economic analysis until 2030 using the COALMOD-World model

► COALMOD-World computes future domestic and global steam coal trade flows till 2030. ► Demand from India and China will drive an increase of the global seaborne trade. ► The global trade flows will shift towards Asia. ► The end of cheap coal will not be caused by geological reserve constraints. ► Infrastructure constraints will affect supply costs unless demand is stabilized.
