[Energy and Capital logo] How to Profit from China's 6,000-Year-Old Coal Addiction [Luke Burgess Photo] By [Luke Burgess]( Written Oct. 29, 2018 The Chinese were the first civilization to use coal. Archaeological evidence shows the black rock being used in China over 6,000 years ago. Coal was key in enabling the Chinese to develop sophisticated economic, political, and cultural systems. And it continued to fuel China for millennia. Public pressure to reduce carbon emissions has increased in the past few decades. And as a result, China has made many efforts to cut its addiction to coal over the past few years. It’s invested heavily in renewable energy. In fact, from 2010 to 2012, China’s renewable electricity growth was double that of the United States... China put caps on power plant emissions through carbon credits... It’s increased regulations on carbon emissions from vehicles. Some of its standards on heavy trucks are the most stringent in the world. It’s done a lot. But despite the country’s many efforts, China’s consumption of coal is still set to increase over the next decade. Like a junkie, China just can't stop using coal.

The fact of the matter is that coal-fired power is still the cheapest and most easily available option for many local governments. It always comes down to money. As a result, more than 65% of China's power is still generated by coal. China has an insatiable thirst for coal. And while the country is also one of the world's largest coal producers, it has one major problem with its product: The coal in China is low quality. So even though the country is a major coal producer, it still needs to import high-quality coal. And it needs a lot of it. Fortunately for America, we've got it. In fact, China is on pace to buy 89 MILLION TONS of coal from America this year. And it just agreed to order even more.
