The international thermal coal market presented a stark contrast in trends this week. South African prices climbed, buoyed by support from Europe, while Australian high-CV coal rebounded, fueled by supply disruptions and firmer Korean demand. On the flip side, the US, Indonesian, and Russian markets remained firmly in retreat, battered by a glut of supply and chronically weak buying appetite. […]
Most countries in CEE/SEE are still burdened by high energy intensity caused by the use of fossil fuels in their energy mixes. However, statistics on coal-fired electricity generation show a significant decline in the order of units of TWh of generation. The gradual phase-out of coal continues to be primarily driven by the rising price of emission allowances, which is […]
Coal consumption trends within the APEC economies are not uniform. While coal use has significantly declined in the United States, Canada, and Australia, it continues to grow in other economies, such as China, Indonesia, and Viet Nam. These trends could continue, and the timing of peak coal consumption in the APEC region remains uncertain. Decarbonization of coal-fired power generation has […]
Global seaborne coking coal prices experienced a broad decline in 2024, dropping below a four-year low in September as the entire ferrous raw materials complex came under pressure from a wider oversupply of steel products, which weighed heavily on both market sentiment and prices. The Argus assessment for premium low-volatile (PLV) hard coking coal delivered on a fob Australia basis […]
As public policies drive more fossil generators into retirement to meet decarbonization goals and tighter emissions restrictions, new carbon-free resources are not being added to the grid fast enough to keep pace with expected demand growth. Meanwhile, the traditional fossil-fueled generation fleet is aging, increasing concerns for their ongoing ability to provide essential reliability services to the grid at a […]
The global thermal coal market, after a fleeting rise last week, has slipped back into bearish territory, with nearly all grades in the red. The oversupply situation remains unresolved, as importers continue to grapple with swollen inventories while demand stays stubbornly weak. Hopes tied to the temporary halt in the U.S.-China trade tensions have fizzled out, and prices are now […]
Within the next decade, global steelmakers – particularly across Europe and key Asian markets face major capital expenditure (capex) decisions about the relining of coal-based blast furnaces. ACCR’s analysis of 13 major steelmakers – representing 17% of global steel production, or around 320 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) shows that more than 60 coal-based blast furnaces require major relining decisions […]
India’s Ministry of Coal recently revealed its strategic plan for the nations coal sector. It aims to achieve energy self-reliance, meet its increasing power demands, and transition towards more sustainable coal utilization practices.
The current state of mining and the Canadian economy is strong. The mining sector contributed $117 billion to Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023, or 4% of the total value. This is an increase from its low point in relation to the overall GDP in the last decade, at 3.1% in 2019. In 2023 Canada produced diamonds, gold, coal, […]
