In addition to what’s in the headline, they also say:
Global coal demand is set to decline to 2026 – but China will have the last word
which is a big deal
im guessing india might have a word there as well.
Chinese consumptions so much dramatically higher than in India that over fairly short periods, what happens in India will have almost no impact.
holy crap you are right. They are not much higher than the us and the us per capita is insane. till you look at australia per capita.
Looks like it’s mainly China, India, and Indonesia that are increasing usage for industrial products and power generation. Europe increased a bit last year but is expected to drop and US rates are dropping.
There is also the fact that it was a bad year for hydro in China. If it were a normal year we might not have seen coal consumption go up as much.
