2011 fewer subsidies for coal assumed to be

2011-11-21T01:16:00.001-08:00

Monday, 7 November 2011
The federal government and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in 2011
is less need to raise subsidies for coal mining in Germany, expiring
in 2011 than originally anticipated.

In the current year would probably be around 500 million euros in aid
not used, said the President of the General Association of coal, Bernd
Tönjes, on Monday in Essen. The reason for this is due to increased
world market prices for coal. The subsidized coal mining in Germany,
which is bundled under the umbrella of the RAG Group is to expire
2018th The aid must be under an agreement between the EU Commission
and the Federal Government to go back down gradually.

GREEN ENERGY INSTEAD OF BLACK GOLD

The RAG is concerned, according to Tönnies now with how they may
participate in the planned energy systems in Germany. Their stockpiles
would provide about a "whole range" of possible applications for
renewable energy - from the erection of wind turbines to pump storage
power plants in abandoned coal mines. This can help to save
electricity from alternative energy sources. Without opportunities for
energy storage are the energy goals of the federal government not to
implement, said Tonnies, who is also head of RAG.

The North Rhine-Westphalia's Minister President Hannelore called
pumped storage power projects in old mines "attractive". The
provincial government will do everything in their power to support
them. The mooted by the Federal government energy policy to let the
rest do not do without coal power plants, which would also be
environmentally friendly.

Russia's dirty dreams

Because gas is much more expensive to sell abroad, citizens of Russia to do so and continue to heat with peat. The first manufacturers are already dreaming of exports to Germany.

TwerGut one years ago, that dense smoke rolled through the streets of Moscow. The capital city could not look from one to the other side of the river Moscow, the city was in a state of emergency. Cause fires were outside the city gates: Week Long Torfflächen heat had burned. The dried Moore could hardly clear.

For Vladimir Nikitin, the fires were a fluke - even if he does not formulate it that way. The 51-year-old is managing director of the combustion energy company Tver, the turf will make socially acceptable as a fuel. "Peat is indispensable for the energy security of Russia and Europe," says Nikitin. The fuel is cleaner and cheaper than coal in Russia always incur new deposits. Therefore will Nikitin peat briquettes in a big way to process - and cast as an alternative to coal and natural gas to market.

The potential of organic sediments is huge. In Russia alone, especially around Moscow, store about 175 billion tons of peat. The Russian government wants to promote the processing. The Energy Department experts tinker with a package of tax cuts aimed at making investments in attractive Torfgewerbe: The Moore could leased free of charge, interest expense paid in the commodity sector and the hefty profits tax will be reduced. In the energy strategy of the Russian government are expected to quadruple the Torferzeugung annually by 2020 to eight million tonnes.
Russian gas for export.
Renewable energies

* Business: Sun-Land of Saxony-Anhalt
* Alternative energy source generators electricity generated during running shoe insert
* Renewable energy: swarm intelligence, more efficient wind turbines

The political leadership will therefore reduce the gas consumption at home: the fuel is too valuable for the internal market. Sold off its gas monopoly Gazprom in Russia for a song, however, obtained abroad, the company fantastic margins. So is the domestic consumption should be kept as low as possible, especially as Russia before the latest financial crisis now and then struggled to meet the domestic needs in severe winters. The burning of peat is indeed dirty - but environmental aspects shear in Moscow just a few.

The battle for the lignite

The battle for the lignite
Alexander Fröhlich

Why is fought so bitterly over the future of power generation in the Lausitz

Potsdam - Brandenburg is again in a fierce debate over the future of lignite and coal in power plants Lusatian broken out as much about the controversial CCS technology to capture and geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2). Had kicked off the debate, Hans Joachim Schellnhuber. The chief of the prestigious, internationally renowned Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) said on Tuesday he thought the electricity for non-sustainable. As a corporate consultant, he would recommend to the energy group Vattenfall an exit.

Did the brown coal have a future?

That's the big question! Climate Impact Research, environmental activists, the Green Party and an opponent of underground CO2 Spreicher keep the electricity on the way out. The main reason is lignite-fired power plants are the true polluters. There is the emission of harmful CO2 emissions two-thirds higher than for gas power plants and twice as much as in coal-fired power plants. Proponents of the brown coal on the other hand are looking for solutions to reduce CO2 emissions. They also keep coal power plant is indispensable on the way to complete transition to renewable energies. On climate policy if there is consensus. By 2050, the federal government to reduce its emissions of the gas to zero. The dispute is over what to go as quickly exit the coal vonstatten. The future of brown coal is so limited anyway.

Lignite power is needed?

With the nuclear phase-out of federal government power producers and network operators are facing a problem. The electricity from wind, solar and biogas provides significant fluctuations in the network, which could be compensated with nuclear power is relatively flexible. The last nuclear power plants will be removed from power in 2022. The main argument of proponents is coal: To keep the load in the network due mainly confronted and had to compensate for fluctuations, brown-coal power plants need. From a bridge technology is mentioned. The bezweifeltn but the critics: Because lignite power plants are less efficient than gas-or coal-fired power plants. Generally, even the latest coal-fired power plants are not good up and down are driven. While the efforts to achieve higher efficiency are large, especially when the throttle but is still researching. Gas power plants are a clear advantage. Even the PIK has calculated that the energy required for turning a few new power plants.

What is the cost?

PIK-chief Schellnhuber, but also experts from organizations of Greenpeace keep electricity from brown coal in 2013 for non-competitive. Then there is the EU in the trade of CO2 emission allowances for seriously. Year after year, reduced the total allowable amount of the greenhouse gas that may be blown into the air. Does the market, prices are rising for certificates, and thus the cost of CO2 emissions. Vattenfall would match its power stations as a highly modern and efficient. Brown coal is also competitive so after 2013. Because the dirty but can be converted into electricity and less flexible, contact experts, self-Brandenburg's Economics Ministry on gas-fired power plants in order to get the transition to energy systems. Coal supporters like to warn against the unpredictable gas suppliers Russia and emphasize lignite is the only available solar geysers sources of energy in this country and even the chemical industry brash. Recently, again makes the idea of gasoline from coal around.

Acts as the provincial government?

Minister-President Matthias Platzeck (SPD) wants to hold on to the brown coal, to competitive electricity supply from renewable energy sources, is carried out safely and in stable, socially acceptable prices. At the same time he also stresses that Brandenburg is the German champion in the "renewables". The local electricity consumption is already covered to 60 percent from the year 2020, this is completely possible. At the same time, much of the brown coal electricity is exported. Platzeck also advocates the CCS technology to store CO2 underground deposit and how it intends also Vattenfall. The future of power generation with CCS has been Platzeck, the government is supporting several projects to test and Ketzin in Schwarze Pumpe. However, federal law provides for a one Länderausstiegskelausel, whereby each state may reject CO2 storage on his property. The declines of Brandenburg, because it will not allow a single controversial "unload". Now the government seeks a way out, referring to the EU's plans for a CO2 pipeline network and business opportunities in Norway, save money compared to the greenhouse gas underground. However, this is all still political future. In addition to the climate policy is about the future of the Lausitz and thousands of jobs that depend on coal. There is no master plan, a "Plan B" for structural change in the Lausitz brown coal without it. The IHK Cottbus wants more support from the countryside, but sees no strategy so far from Potsdam to the Lausitz to lead to a new future.

What is brown coal power politics?

The problem with the adherence to the lignite power is from the perspective of the PIK, but also Greenpeace: the first time, new lignite-fired power plants built, could be about lobbying the exception rules enforced, softened the zero-CO2 targets and emissions trading can be bypassed. The energy transition would be slowed down.

The Curse of Coal

2010-12-02T06:20:00.001-08:00

Colombia is a major supplier of German electricity producers. To cheap to get to the raw material, exploiting the responsible man and nature without pity - with devastating consequences.

The German energy producers want to continue to do without coal. The existing power stations will be added in the coming years as late as 24 new ones. And even though coal power is a climate killer number one. But the controversial energy resource demands is another high price, which is found on any electric bill.

For companies such as Vattenfall, Eon, EnBW and Evonik burn more coal from Colombia, where it gradually degrades under catastrophic conditions. In recent years, moved the South American country to become a major supplier in Germany. Since the summer it is even in second place behind Russia, as evidenced by figures from the Federal Statistical Office.

Population and environment are exploited ruthlessly for it. The mines in Colombia are the world next to the Chinese as the most dangerous. But only rarely penetrate reports of accidents and abuses to Europe. Banned looked at the world in recent weeks to Chile, where 33 miners were rescued from a collapsed mine.

DISPLAY
From a tragedy that took place around the same time in Colombia, however, was hardly noticed. In a devastating methane gas explosion in the coal mine of San Fernando Amaga in the region of Antioquia 73 workers were buried and no one survived. Only Spain's King Juan Carlos condolences.

It was not the first accident of its kind in San Fernando, although the operation is considered relatively professional. Official statistics of the country occurred in the past six years, nearly 500 dead and 300 injured in accidents in coal mines. In just the past eight months in the areas of Boyacá, Valle del Cauca and Antioquia were killed 80 miners. Many mines operated illegally.

The coal mining in Colombia calls outside the mine casualties. Human rights report attacks on trade unionists report on child labor, labor rights violations, displacement and murder. In disputes arising in connection with the coal industry, according to the farmers' organization were Ascamcat in the past five years, more than 10,000 small farmers killed and 130,000 forced to move.

A significant part of the raw material is mined by open pit. Whole areas, including protected areas are depopulated ensure that residents are not compensated. "The coal mining in Colombia is destroying the livelihoods of many people," says Sebastian Rötters, mining expert at the FIAN.

But coal from Colombia is favorable. While the world market is currently about $ 100 a tonne to be paid, the costs of production are there at 30 dollars per tonne. This is confirmed by the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) in Hannover. By comparison, in Poland, the third largest supplier in Germany, the cash costs amount to 80 dollars per tonne.

Clearly it is German coal. It proposes € 170, about 230 dollars to book. Without the exorbitant subsidies from the European Union if it were not for sale. By 2018, the reduction in Germany are therefore discontinued. German coal but still covers almost a third of the total domestic demand. This share, however, fall in the coming years.

Mining expert Rötters accuses the German electricity producers to beat profit from the evil trade in imported coal, "It should not be allowed that German energy companies skim off thanks to cheap coal from Colombia, huge profits and can not accept any responsibility, even if they are not directly in the degradation involved . 17 million tons of coal, the local customers in the first half of 2010, bought from abroad, came a quarter from Colombia. The Fian-man also criticizes many current provider did not make clear the sources from which they derive their carbon. "How will consumers know if their electricity is made of bloody money?"

Eon, EnBW and Evonik confirmed to the Sueddeutsche Zeitung that they belong coal from Colombia, Vattenfall's first opinion was not to get. But when it comes to precise amounts are to be buttoned at EnBW and Evonik. "Detailed information, we do not," said a spokeswoman for Evonik. The company, based in Essen operates claims to coal-fired power plants in eight German and three foreign offices. In Duisburg-Walsum Evonik is building one of the most modern coal-fired power plants in the world. It will go into operation mid next year.

DISPLAY
In Baden-Württemberg, EnBW merely states the main sources are Colombia and Russia. However, were significantly decreased supplies from South Africa. The country has diverted its trade from Europe to Asia. Also German coal makes that only a fraction of the portfolio. EnBW operates coal-fired power plants in Altbach, Heilbronn, Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, which is currently being extended by one block. He should go online in spring 2012.

Eon is there something specific information. Accordingly, Colombia in 2009 was at the Düsseldorf-based company the fourth largest supplier. By far the largest share of coal was referring to Eon's own data from the United States, followed by Russia and South Africa. The energy company generates electricity from coal at 14 locations in Germany. In building a power plant located in dates.

The charge that they would obtain coal from dubious sources in Colombia, reject the three power companies. They are committed to strict guidelines. Business partners are required to meet international standards of environmental protection and sustainability, according to EnBW. Evonik and Eon also refer to minimum standards that were set in the Global Compact of the United Nations and in the standards of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the suppliers would have to comply.

Human rights Rötters holds little of such commitments, even as their compliance difficult to verify. He accuses the groups to operate "greenwashing" and the Federal Government sees its duty. "Germany shall not take up energy policy based on the violation of human rights and pollution."

He believes that the problem will worsen as the large mining group Anglo American has announced its intention to significantly increase its production in Colombia. The British-South African company operates jointly with the Australian BHP and Xstrata, the Swiss group in the north of the country in El Cerrejon, the largest coal mine in the world. One area in which the rights of residents and workers, according to the Danish human rights organization DanWatch be ignored for decades.

Germany oversleeps coal agreement with the EU

2010-08-11T02:02:00.001-07:00

Germany has clearly failed to get approval, the coal subsidies by the EU. This could be the end of mining.

The exit from the coal-promotion is apparently without sufficient consultation with the EU Commission agreed. Then point to internal documents of the Essenes RAG Foundation, which exist WORLD ONLINE. Thus, it was apparently missed since 2007 of the federal government and the two coal-states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Saarland, the German coal vote finance law with the EU and to press for a crucial permit for further state subsidy payments through the year 2010.

As shown in the annual reports of the Foundation for the years 2008 and 2009 is missing, until now the ultimate approval of the EU Commission for the discharge plan, which foresees the end for the German mines in eight years. "A decision on the restructuring plan by the year 2018 is not so far been taken. The other timing is dependent on the clarification of issues and the definition of a decision based on the level of the EU, "it says in the internal documents of the Foundation.

End of state subsidies

End of July, the EU Commission decided surprising to want to approve more state subsidies for loss-making mines in Europe since 2014. It was at first even a transitional period until 2022 was under discussion. But the Brussels commissioners decided then for a very short transition period. The main reason: The Commission wants to eliminate coal subsidies, because their share of the energy supply is already low.

In addition, EU countries would in any case to rely more on renewable energy. Coal is therefore the way out, said EU Competition Commissioner Joaquín Almunia. Even if the Federal Government now seeks to overturn the decision of the Commission, which Erfolgsausschichten are rather low.

The Economic Welfare of Bituminous Coal Miners

2010-02-08T03:15:00.000-08:00

Soft Coal, Hard Choices: The Economic Welfare of Bituminous Coal Miners, 1890-1930 by Price V. Fishback.
It is a pitty that most studies on labor in the coal industry do focus on the struggle to organize unions. This work is however different and offers a more diverse and quantitative examination of the coal mining labor market. It regards the social and economic lives of the bituminous coal miners in the early twentieth century. Here Fishback's analytic methodology encompasses competition among employers for labor, the legal environment, institutional development in response to transactions costs as well as the impact of labor unions on the coal industry. Utilizing economic theories and proper statistics, Fishback reveals the theory hidden in the descriptions of events, and then tests their internal consistency as well as the hypotheses they generate. The book is designed for the social scientist, but also management practicioners in the coal industry can gain from this some insights that help them to understand the other stakeholders in the coal mining industry.
