Market Insights
Lignite coal market is expected to witness significant growth with growing energy demand along with increasing use of lignite coal as a fuel for the electricity generation. Increasing natural gas prices along with high prices of hard coal are factors anticipated to endorse the demand of lignite coal. After Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, the economies are moving towards safe sources of power generation. Thus, growing inclination towards alternate sources of power such as renewable energy, thermal power plants and other hydroelectric power plants. Low cost of the lignite coal is another factors driving the demand for lignite coal market. It is positioned as low production cost increment in merit-order curve competing with hard coal and gas. Lignite is also used in manufacturing of coal based fertilizers. Further, development in coal to liquid (CTL) technology widened the array of applications for lignite coal. This in turn is anticipated to drive the demand for lignite coal over the forecast period. However, growing inclination towards clean energy coupled with increasing investment in renewable energy is expected to hamper the growth of lignite coal market during the forecast period (2017-2025).
