Global Coal Markets Report 2022-2027

DUBLIN, August 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The “Coal: World Markets” report has been added to from ResearchAndMarkets.com offer.

This market study evaluates the main types of coal currently used in the world for electricity, steel, cement, etc.

In 2021, global coal production recovered from the supply and demand disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In 2021, an expansionary economic climate supported coal fundamentals. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global coal production has increased by approximately REMOVED % to approximately REMOVED metric tonnes in 2021.

China is the largest coal producer in the world, accounting for more than half of total production. According to the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics, China produces approximately REDACTED billion metric tons of coal in 2021. India, IndonesiaWE, Australia and Russia are other major coal producers.

In 2021, coal production in the United States increased by approximately REMOVED %, after a decline of more than REMOVED % in 2020, mainly due to weaker demand for electricity production and falling exports . Coal production in the United States has fallen by about half over the past decade as demand for coal-fired power has continued to decline. The United States is currently the world’s fourth largest producer, previously trailing only China.

Although the coal sector is one of the most controversial in the world, it is also crucial. Although economically developed countries have pushed for renewable energy sources to be used to generate electricity rather than fossil fuels due to the environmental impact of carbon emissions, coal still accounts for at least % REMOVED of global electricity generation, and it recorded an increase of REMOVED % in maritime coal trade in 2019. Coal is the most common fossil fuel, accounting for REMOVED % of all recoverable fossil fuels.

Even in 2021, there has been an increase in seaborne coal trade due to increased coal imports from growing economies such as Malaysia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Pakistan and The Philippines. Indeed, these are a few countries responsible for the significant growth in coal volumes in 2019, with India, China, The Philippines and Vietnam contributing the most. Electricity generation in these countries is essential because many of their citizens do not have access to electricity.

The story continues

Globally, more REDACTED people do not have access to electricity. Thus, reconciling the demand for increased electricity production with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is a delicate balancing act that the world must master. “Nitrogen gas is a major type of industrial gas used in a range of production, processing, storage and shipping applications.

It is mainly used for purging and covering purposes to provide protection against various contaminants. It plays a key role in the prevention of combustible dust explosions and allows the safe storage of flammable products. Additionally, through the bubbling and extraction process, this gas also helps remove contaminants.

The massive increase in demand has driven the many production methods as well as supply to achieve greater reliability, efficiency and convenience in terms of cost and performance. Moreover, the market is also characterized by new technologies, which are very advanced and able to meet the desired requirements in terms of purity, portability, footprint and mode of use.

The chemical sector leads in terms of demand contribution to the nitrogen gas market. Growing applications in gas blankets and refineries are further driving global demand. Additionally, healthcare, food & beverage and other segments are also key demand contributors. regions such as Asia Pacific and the Americas are expected to drive demand in the coming years due to the growth of the industrial manufacturing sector in emerging countries such as India, China, South Korea, Mexico and Brazil.

The market is highly consolidated in nature. It is dominated by a few top players such as Linde plc, Air Products and Chemicals Inc., Messer Group GmbH, Nippon Sanso Corp., Air Liquide, Gulf Cryo and other players.
