Report summary
The North American coal market is in a steady, structural decline. Demand has peaked as natural gas and renewable generation continue to grow throughout the forecast period (2019-2040). Coal generation declines 65% over the next 21 years as coal generating units continue to be phased out despite the Trump Administration's attempts to make a case for retaining and expanding the coal fleet. Coal generation will be replaced by natural gas, wind and utility scale solar generation - growing 36%, 316%, and 1,306% respectively over the forecast period to 2040.
