In recent years the supply of new products in the mining and energy sector has increased significantly and at the same time demand for coal has been decreasing. We have seen a significant impact on its price, which it has created and imminent need to redesign strategies to regain the lost market and discover new business opportunities that allow coal producers to continue their businesses in a cost-effective and sustainable way. Thus, Colombian Coal Conference 2013 presents as main objective the exploration of new markets and the discovery of new needs for power generation, with the purpose of promoting topics such as; clean production, optimization of operating costs, the reconsideration of international trade policies and the solution of environmental problems inherent in coal production. • To Determine Your Business Opportunities at a Global Scale.
