Answer 1: Developing country demand to hold up
Answer 2: CCS becomes large part of electricity generation mix

Transport
• Hunter• Small to mid-sized cities
• Low density
• High passenger vehicle use
• Significant rail freight
• GHG and energy saving opportunities in this region will need to suit the car and rail freight

Key messages
• In facing a potentially carbon constrained world coal trade may still continue to expand• Developing country demand may continue if they successfully argue to allow their emissions to rise for a period
• If successful, coal with CCS will allow coal to deliver low emission base load power
• Other local opportunities• Renewable technologies and research• Vehicle electrification, HFR, biofuels, roof-top solar
