Sanctions and the emerging trend of halting operations at Russian underground and open-pit mines, along with logistical issues, may have a negative impact on the volumes of production and supplies of Russian high-quality coal to the world market in 2024-2025.
In 2023, coal production in Kuzbass dropped to 214.2 mio t (-9.4 mio t or -4.2% vs. 2022).
