The global thermal coal market sank deeper into bearish territory this week, weighed down by a detrimental mix of weak demand, abundant inventories, and persistent geopolitical headwinds. Major importers remained on the sidelines amid sluggish industrial activity and muted end-user requirements, while miners continued to operate on razor-thin margins, grappling with rising production costs and a market flooded with oversupply. […]
Although natural gas remains the largest source of electricity generation in the United States prices have risen considerably since the historic lows of last year. These higher natural gas prices encourage more generation from coal, which we expect will increase by 6% (41 billion kWh) in 2025. The recent STEO has revised the forecast of U.S. coal production upward from […]
A new report released by the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s Coal Industry Advisory Board, authored by LETA, explores China’s rapid progress in carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) — and what the world can learn. China’s Impressive Strides Towards Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage highlights: Government-backed innovation accelerating deployment Cost reductions through learning-by-doing Retrofitting tech making coal-fired power CCUS-ready Global […]
This presentation from May 7 provides the authors views on the changes (past and present) in the U.S coal fired power generation market. It looks at power plant retirements, closures and renewables. The authors examined the 102 coal-fired units (50MW or more) closed or converted between the beginning of 2021 and early 2025. Source: IEEFA
The global thermal coal market continues to face significant bearish pressure as oversupply from major exporting countries dominates the trade landscape. Despite elevated export volumes, major importing nations have not shown signs of increasing their demand, which has led to a consistent slide in coal prices. Tariff-related trade disruptions have also added to the demand woes, further compounding the weak […]
The Mining Association of BC’s (MABC) 2025 Economic Impact Study assesses the potential economic impact of critical mineral, precious metal, and steelmaking coal mining projects under development in BC. Steelmaking coal mines produce high value, seaborne coking or metallurgical coal used exclusively in the steel making process. The study includes two proposed new steelmaking coal mines and one existing steelmaking […]
India’s electricity sector remains heavily dependent on coal imports: 20% or 206 MT of thermal coal was imported in 2023-24 at a cost of $21 Billion. Between 2013 and 2023, thermal coal imports have increased by 58%, however, the USD value of imports has increased by 124% due to volatile coal prices and depreciation of the rupee. According to the […]
This article explores the key logistical differences between coal operations in Sumatra and Kalimantan, the strategic edge Indonesia holds over other coal exporting nations, and how infrastructure and sustainability will shape the future of the industry. Indonesia, with its archipelago geography and abundant coal reserves, plays a crucial role in the global coal supply chain. The country is not only […]
CCU is increasingly gaining ground as a multipurpose lever in global decarbonisation efforts. In the broadest sense, it involves the conversion of captured carbon into a usable product while either eliminating or reducing the amount of carbon that would otherwise have been emitted from a conventional fossil fuel to produce that product. While this is a generally accepted view of […]
