Springfield’s coal supply may soon be doubling the distance it takes to get the city. See why some alderpersons and residents are concerned. CWLP proposes 4-year contract to lock in coal prices ...
Chlorine, sulfur and carbon (as coal) are cheapest by mass. Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and chlorine are cheapest by volume at atmospheric pressure. When there is no public data on the element in its pure form, price of a compound is used, per mass of element contained. This implicitly puts the value of compounds' other constituents, and the ...
S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq end up after Trump holds off on reciprocal tariffs, avoiding a trade war that could slow the economy and fan inflation.
The company's U.S. underground mines produced high-quality coal from Alabama's Blue Creek seam.

At the time of writing (March 2007) there is no liquid Dark Spread traded market in either the UK or Germany. The Dark Spread value is the power price minus the coal price divided by 0.35, i.e. Dark Spread = Power price – (Coal price/0.35). The Clean Dark Spread is calculated using a coal emissions intensity factor of 0.971 tCO2/MWh.
