The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a metric that attempts to compare the costs of different methods of electricity generation consistently. Though LCOE is often presented as the minimum constant price at which electricity must be sold to break even over the lifetime of the project, such a cost analysis requires assumptions about the value of various non-financial costs (environmental ...
The price of metallurgical coal is volatile [112] and much higher than the price of thermal coal because metallurgical coal must be lower in sulfur and requires more cleaning. [113] Coal futures contracts provide coal producers and the electric power industry an important tool for hedging and risk management.
In Texas, the price drop of natural gas has reduced the capacity factor in 7 of the state's coal plants (max. output 8 GW), and they contribute about a quarter of the state's electricity. [26] The cost of transporting coal may be around $20/ton for trains, or $5–6/ton for barge and truck.
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 ...
The energy value of coal, or fuel content, is the amount of potential energy coal contains that can be converted into heat. [1]
The value of this electricity may be lower than if it was produced at another time, or even negative. At the same time, variable sources can be competitive if they are available to produce when demand and prices are highest, such as solar during summertime mid-day peaks seen in hot countries where air conditioning is a major consumer.
