While global coal production, including lignite, likely slipped back in the first six months, global coal consumption is set to increase by 1.2% to reach a record 8.94 bn t for the full year.\u00a0 China\u2019s production fell by 1.6% to 2.37 bn t in H1 2026 following a mine accident in May.\u00a0 India\u2019s production also decreased, by 2.4% year-on-year, to 555 Mt. Coal production in Australia, Indonesia, Mongolia, and the US increased, with Mongolia\u2019s production growing by around 50%.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Indonesia\u2019s coking coal imports rose by 32% year-on-year and have tripled since 2022.\u00a0 The country is now a major exporter of coke \u2013 it will likely overtake China to become the world\u2019s largest coke exporter this year.\u00a0 Special features in the report cover coal industry development under China\u2019s 15th<\/sup> Five-Year Plan and the rollback of power plant carbon emission standards in the US.<\/p>\n

In the EU, total coal supply including imports fell by 3.4% to 144 Mt in the first half year, continuing a downward trend. Lignite output was down 5.2% to 89.5 Mt compared with H1 2025, while hard coal production fell by 0.9% to 21.2 Mt and imports by 1.1% to 33.1 Mt.\u00a0 Steam coal prices at European ports averaged 112 US$\/t over the first half year, some 10% higher than H1 2025, being highest in early June at 136 US$\/t. The crisis in the Middle East saw coal favoured over gas for power generation, putting an upward pressure on coal prices everywhere.<\/p>\n
