Coal has been a vital part of the world’s energy supply for generations. According to the World Energy Council, global consumption since 2000 has grown more for coal than any other fuel source. And the use of coal is expected to rise by over 60 percent by 2030, with developing countries responsible for around 97% of the increase.
Clearly, the appetite for coal to power the world’s industrial development is not going away. Hatch has been at the center of the coal business for years. Our global teams work together to provide integrated ‘pit to port’ services, beginning with early business analysis, due diligence and engineering studies to full scale EPCM services, and ongoing operations and maintenance support.
We have delivered some of the world’s most significant coal projects, including:
- Conceptual business analysis and engineering studies
- Resource evaluations
- Full-scale engineering
- Procurement and construction management
- Project management
- Coal handling and processing
- Supporting coal infrastructure including mine industrial areas, major port facilities and heavy-haul rail systems
- Operations and maintenance support from ‘pit to port’
Our diverse experience covers a range of coal and power projects, such as the development of coal-fired power stations, integrated-gasification-combined-cycle (IGCC) power generation, CO2 capture, coal to liquids (CTL) and coal-bed methane projects.
Hatch offers expert global capabilities in mining and geological services such as mine operation support, geological evaluation, resource modelling, mining engineering and mine technical computing.
