DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/120e21/italy_coal_industr) has announced the addition of the "Italy Coal Industry: Porter's Five Forces Analysis" report to their offering.
With nuclear power out of the game and renewable energy still too expensive, Italy is expected to boost the use of coal to overcome a situation that threatens the security of the country's power supply and undermines its competitiveness. Italy imports a vast majority of coal from Russia, South Africa, US and China. Efforts are underway to reopen at least one coal mine in the south of Sardinia, near the city of Carbonia.
Coal reserves at this location are of very low quality, meaning that combustion would yield a high ratio of pollution compared to useful energy. Future growth of coal imports into Italy is linked to the country's rejection of nuclear energy and to new projects in power generation to use "clean coal" technology with lower emissions of CO2 and other gases.
In order to understand the profitability and the dynamics of competitive structure of the coal industry in Italy, Taiyou Research presents a Porter's Five Forces Analysis of the Italian Coal Industry.
Michael Porter's Five Forces Model is one of the most effective analytical model for understanding and analyzing the competitive landscape in an industry. The model analyzes the bargaining power of buyers and suppliers; the competitive rivalry in the industry; the threat of new entrants and the threat of substitutes for the particular industry - in this case, coal faces the threat of substitution from the various renewable energy sources that are fast becoming popular today.
