Coal Procurement Risks

  • Buyers and suppliers are required to comply with stringent environmental regulations, such as the MARPOL treaty, Clean Air Act in the US. Any noncompliance with these regulations can result in hefty fines. Moreover, periodic changes in regulations affect the operations and costs of both buyers and suppliers as they incur additional efforts in aligning with the new norms. Changes such as these significantly increase the prices which are cues for buyers to shift toward more cost-effective solutions
