Peak exports? This is from the guy who figured out peak oil exports... westexas on June 8, 2009 - 8:07am Re: U.S. Foresees a Thinner Cushion of Coal (linked uptop) This WSJ article discusses David Rutledge's work and talks about "Peak Coal." And of course, I would anticipate that net coal exports, which the EIA calculates in terms of BTU's, will show a long term accelerating decline rate. Here are the combined net coal exports from the US and China versus Australia, from 1998 to 2007 (EIA, quadrillion BTU's): China & US: 1998: 2.8 2007: 1.1 Down -1.7 Australia: 1998: 4.3 2007: 6.2 Up: +1.9 In other words, as of 2007 virtually all of the nine year increase in net coal exports from Australia went to offset the decline in net coal exports from China & the US. Although the US showed an uptick in 2007 (to a level well below its 1998 rate), China has probably virtually now ceased being a net coal exporter, on a BTU basis. theoildrum.com
