2:00–3:30pm | Session 1 – Atlantic Demand, State of the Market

Europe’s market is once again being transformed as dwindling demand, growing coal/gas rivalries, and almost constant oversupply in the Atlantic steam coal market change the way that Europe’s utilities, industry and fuel suppliers adjust to the changes taking place. In this session, to include presentations and a panel discussion, we explore the main issues affecting coal and gas trading around the world.

Presentations

• Max Schönfisch, M.Sc., Institute of Energy Economics – University of Cologne
  What is the current status of policy towards coal and power in Germany?

  » How does policy gel with the practicalities of operating a power market?
  » Could Germany offset carbon by becoming a net power importer?
  » Many EU countries have pledged to close coal-fired power by 2025, how does Germany align with that?

• Dr. Mehmet Topeli, Energy Planning & Rep. Mng., İSKEN-İskenderun Enerji Üretim ve Tic. A.Ş.
  How committed to coal is Turkey today and will there be further growth for imports?

  » 93% of Turkey’s steam coal imports came from just two countries in 2018 – can this position be sustained?
  » Government policy currently blocks high sulphur imports, is that likely to continue?
  » The government is publicly committed to increasing the use of domestic coal – how practical is that given the limited quality of Turkish coals?
  » Can Turkey’s coal industry expand as the government wants?

Panel Discussion

4:00–5:30pm | Session 2 – How Secure is Atlantic Supply?

The global coal market continues to grow despite the steady loss of European import demand, but how sustainable is this growth?

The experts below will examine the mid-term market outlook via presentations and an interactive panel discussion.
