THE COAL INDUSTRYKERNOT C.wydawnictwo: WOODHEAD , rok wydania 2000, wydanie Icena netto: The Coal Industry
The definitive study of coal and its markets worldwide The size and global reach of the coal industry is unparalleled in the mining sector. Almost 500 million tonnes of coal are shipped annually around the world at a traded value of around US$15bn, but the total amount of coal mined each year amounts to some 3.8 billion tonnes. This puts the total value of annual production at around US$100bn - far higher than the next most important mined commodity, aluminium. The Coal Industry provides an in-depth overview of the international coal trade at the turn of the millennium. In 330 pages of clearly presented information, analysis and statistics, it brings the industry into sharp focus - from productivity and power plants to growth prospects and global warming. Detailed data, authoritative analysis Read this guide and find out about: The Coal Industry is essential reading for industry executives, the financial community and government policy-makers, as well as providing an excellent introduction and training resource for new entrants to the industry.
