Abstract

During the next 20 years, coal will have a growing importance both in absolute and relative terms. In the non‐OPEC developing countries, coal consumption will double by the year 2000. Coal, however, must be obtained, transported, burned and the residue ash disposed of to be of economic benefit. This paper using current Japanese experience examines some of the problems involved in obtaining and using coal for electric power generation and compares the costs of its use with other fuels. Il y aura dans les 20 ans a venir une importance accrue du charbon en termes relatifs et absolus. Les pays n'appartenant pas a L'OPEP verront leur consommation de charbon passer du simple au double d'ici l'an 2000. Mais pour avoir une valeur économique, le charbon devra être produit, transporté et brulé, et il se posera en outre un problème d'évacuation des cendres résiduelles. Ce mémoire qui a pour base l'expérience actuelle du Japon fait l'examen de quelques problèmes liés à la production et à l'utilisation du charbon dans le cadre de la production d'énergie électrique. Il compare les coûts d'utilisation de celui‐ci et de carburants divers. Durante los próximos 20 años, el carbón tendrá importancia creciente tanto en términos absolutos como relativos. En los países en desarrollo no miembros de OPEP, el consumo de carbón doblará para el año 2000. Teniendo en consideración la experiencia del Japón, este articulo examina algunos de los problemas en la obtención y uso del carbón en plantas de generación eléctrica y compara con otros combustibles alternativos.
