This report provides analysis of coal in 21 APEC economies. APEC’s power generation still relies on thermal sources with, 64.5% of power generation. Although renewable energy increased much faster than fossil fuels, it remains at a relatively low base.
International thermal coal prices remained under pressure due to sluggish procurement activities from major importers. Both the Chinese and Indian markets had ample coal stocks, allowing them to maintain a strong bargaining position. Supply constraints in Indonesia were insufficient to support prices in the bearish market. Source: iEnergy
This bulletin provides a summary of coal price forecasts (hard coking coal, PCI, semi-soft coking coal and Newcastle benchmark thermal coal) and AUD:USD exchange rate forecasts as at June/July 2024. Source: KPMG
The authors of this report argue that if current trends continue, a new era of absolute coal power decline is in sight in China. If this is the case, Chinese policymakers and relevant stakeholders need to consider a ‘beyond-diversification’ approach as the country is fast approaching this critical turning point. A key aspect of this approach is managing tensions and […]
India’s total coal and coke imports have declined to ten months low level of 22.00 million metric tons (MMT) in July 2024 amid a seasonal slowdown in India. The imports have been contracted by 7% MoM from 23.75 MMT registered in June 2024. The YoY increase in import levels has been sustained, with a 20% rise from 18.39 MMT recorded […]
India’s petcoke imports reached a four-month high of 1.41 MMT in July, marking a 75% YoY and a 14% MoM rise. In comparison, imports stood at 0.80 MMT in July 2023 and 1.24 MMT in June 2024. This also represents the third-highest petcoke import level recorded in India. In July, the cement sector increased its overall purchase of petcoke, taking […]
International thermal coal prices shifted into bearish territory as major importers scaled back their procurement activities. Demand from India and China remained muted, with ample stockpiles on hand. Even supply disruptions in Indonesia failed to support coal prices during the week. The market’s brief bullishness in the last few weeks was driven solely by fears of geopolitical disruptions, with no […]
In the last decade, electricity generation from coal has doubled, with coal-generated electricity reaching a record high of 118 TWh in 2023, marking the highest production in Turkey’s history. Additionally, a large portion of Turkey’s domestic coal reserves has low energy potential and high moisture content, which reduces the performance of the power plants.
Before Taipower decided to end their purchases of Russian coal in August 2022, they were the islandʼs largest buyer of Russian coal. Despite Taipower not receiving any shipments of Russian coal since September 2022, Taiwanʼs imports of Russian coal rose 31% in the most recent 12 months due to private companies purchasing more of the commodity from Russia. Taiwanʼs reliance […]
