The volume of energy coal production totaled 142,524 tons, an increase of 8%

Approximately 80% of balance reserves of energy coal in Russia are concentrated in Western and Eastern Siberia. The largest enterprises for extraction of energy coal are: OJSC SUEK-KUZBASS, FL “RAZREZ BORODINSKIY”, OJSC SUEK-KRASNOYARSK”, and the OJSC “KUZBASSRAZREZUGOL”.
Despite the growth in production of energy coal in 2010, the peak pre-crisis volumes were not reached. Thus, the period 2008 - 2010 saw an increase in the share of exports of energy coal from Russia.In January - September 2012, the volume of energy coal production totaled 142,524 tons, an increase of 8%, from the corresponding period of 2011. About 75% of the energy coal in Russia is concentrated in the Siberian Federal District.

The Indian Power generation industry had witnessed an incredible growth journey in the past few years

The Indian Power generation industry had witnessed an incredible growth journey in the past few years, led by the entry of private sector players. However, with the 11th Plan adding ~54.5GW, the domestic coal industry has not kept pace with growth in capacity addition, which led to acute coal shortage. To counter this, most of the private players went ahead and bought mines in Indonesia and Australia, but upward revision of imported coal prices and non-pass through clause in competitively bid imported coal based projects rendered these projects unviable. Additionally, the state distribution companies are in dire state with huge losses due to nonrevision of tariffs, high AT&C losses and non payment of subsidy by states.

The demand for electricity is projected to grow at more than 8% per year until 2020.

The utilities industry consists of three main markets, electricity, gas and water. The electricity market proved to be the most lucrative utilities industry as it dominated 63.55% share of the market. Indonesia is the largest country in Southeast Asia; its main economic activity is agriculture, thus water utilities play an important role in agriculture production. Water consumption in the country is expected to increase to more than 356 billion cubic meters per annum by 2015.Although water sources in Indonesia account for 21% of total water resources in Asia Pacific, lack of clean water is becoming a serious problem in Indonesia. Nearly half of the population in Indonesia lacks access to safe water and more than 70% of the 220 million person population relies on water sources that are deemed potentially contaminated. To achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the Indonesian government needs to improve water supply and sanitation services.
For energy sources, PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) has the sole right to produce and distribute electricity throughout Indonesia. The demand for electricity is projected to grow at more than 8% per year until 2020. Meanwhile, Indonesia has a proven natural gas reserve of 3.0 trillion cubic meters. Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) is the market leader in both transmission and distribution businesses in Indonesia.

Global waste-to-energy market (MSW conversion to electricity/heat) will reach $7.4bn

Waste-to-energy (WtE) provides a win-win solution to urban consumer societies by effectively processing large municipal solid waste (MSW) volumes, while creating electricity and/or local heating. WtE however is expensive and cannot compete with low-cost landfill without incentives, therefore an increasing amount of governments are offering support to the industry or creating regulations to drive it forward. Challenges such as unsustainable landfilling, methane emissions reduction, growing waste volumes and lack of space are key to driving the growth in new build WtE facilities.Visiongain has determined that the value of the global waste-to-energy market (MSW conversion to electricity/heat) will reach $7.4bn in 2013.

Intellinews - Romania Energy Sector

The key topics for Romania’s energy sector remain i. the renewable energy support [to be trimmed down], ii. the natural gas market liberalisation and iii. the new royalties for natural resources extraction to be enforced by the government as of 2014 amid what it looks like a vibrant upstream activity.What we foreseen from the very beginning eventually happened: the high energy prices prompted by the robust support given to renewable energy producers have a visible negative impact on the real sector and on the households. The government considers adjusting the system, but it has not decided yet whether to amend or not the law 22-/2008 itself – or only to enforce the mechanism built-in the law for avoiding overcompensation. The real problem is that the mechanism specified in law 220 cannot deal with overcompensation of projects already commissioned. This can be done only by cutting the maximal value of the tradable green certificate – which is, by amending law 220. This is naturally more complicated than simply enforcing a mechanism already stipulated in the law.

Global underground coal gasification (UCG) market in 2012 will reach $570m

Underground Coal gasification (UCG), as a concept, has been around for over a hundred years. UCG is a clean, safe, and cheap technology suited to process deep, inaccessible coal in to higher value syngas. It has the potential to significantly increase global coal reserves used for power generation and gas-to-liquids processes. A combination of high oil prices, increasing global energy demand, and technological improvements, especially in directional drilling, has increased interest in the UCG industry over the past years and a number of countries are now seeing increasing investments in their respective UCG industries. In countries with limited natural gas and oil reserves, but extensive coal reserves, UCG offers a cleaner and cheaper alternative energy source from coal. An additional benefit comes from UCG's compatibility with emerging technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS), enhanced oil recovery (EOR), gas to liquids (GTL). the value of the global underground coal gasification (UCG) market in 2012 will reach $570m.

The Global Deepwater and Ultra Deepwater Exploration and Production market in 2013 will reach $83.2bn

The global deepwater and ultra deepwater market has been growing rapidly over the last ten years. The primary reason behind this development is the advancement in technology which allowed companies to explore deepwater and ultra deepwater petroleum geologies. Since drilling of the first well below 3,000 metres in 2003, there have been numerous major discoveries in previously unexplored ultra deepwater territories around the world. In a time where oil production is declining in many of the traditional oil producing countries in Europe and North America and increasing political tensions in the Middle East increase supply insecurity, deepwater and ultra deepwater exploration offers a great alternative to secure rising world oil demand. The additional benefit of deepwater and ultra deepwater oil & gas, while it incurs higher risk and upfront capital costs, is that new finds tend to be significantly larger than recent onshore discoveries. The pre-salt finds offshore Brazil are a prime example of the potential benefit deepwater and ultra deepwater reservoirs can hold and since the discovery of the fields offshore Brazil interest in deepwater and ultra deepwater E&P around the world has significantly increased. As a consequence, has determined that the value of the global deepwater & ultra deepwater exploration & production market in 2013 will reach $83.2bn.

Smart Meter Product and service demand in the US is projected to increase more than eleven percent annually to $4.4 billion in 2016

US demand to rise more than 11% annually through 2015
Smart meter product and service demand in the US is projected to increase more than eleven percent annually to $4.4 billion in 2016. Advances will be driven by the rising penetration of Smart Meters, particularly advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) products. In addition, the rising share of smart meters in use over the decade supports demand for related parts and services as well as for replacement of older models.  A critical issue when examining the market for smart meters is the penetration rates for these products (i.e., the share of the entire installed base of meters which is accounted for by AMI or AMR products). In 2011, there were approximately 325 million electric, gas and water meters installed in the US.
