High Sulfur Coal Exports: An International Analysis

Thepapers in this book were generated by the proceedings of the United States Senate Field Hearing and High Sulfur Coal Export Conference held June 89, 1981,at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. The chair­man of the senate committee was Senator Charles Percy of Illinois. One of the central concerns confronting the held hearing was "Factors Affecting the International Utilization of High Sulfur Coal." More specifically, the committee ad­dressed itself to "developing international markets and marketing mechanisms for America's coal, evaluating the domestic po­tential for American coal production and ex­ports, and Illinois coal's potential as an emer­gency fuel in the event of an international energy shortfall." Coal experts from American industry, labor officials, state and national government leaders, and dignitaries from Europe and the Far East gathered to discuss this important global issue. Topics included "Emergency Utilization of Coal"; "High Sulfur Coal Exports: Assess­ments by Foreign Officials"; "High Sulfur Coal Exports: Production Capacity and Reliability, Extraction, Processing, and Trans­portation"; "Marketing of High Sulfur Coal: Assessment by National Specialists"; and "Marketing of High Sulfur Coal: Assessment by International Specialists." Other discussions included "Production Capability and Reliability for Export of Illinois Coal"; "Special Processing for Export Markets"; "Transportation to Export Mar­kets"; "Export of Technology to Use High Sulfur Coal"; and "Strategies for Developing Export Markets." There were also panel discussions moder­ated by United States Senator Charles Percy, United States Representative Paul Simon, and John Castle, Director of the Illinois De­partment of Commerce and Community Affairs.CROW is the author of 'High Sulfur Coal Exports: An International Analysis', published 1983 under ISBN 9780809311224 and ISBN 0809311224.
