Net Zero Failure: IEA – International Energy Agency: ‘Global coal demand to reach a new all-time high in 2024’ – ‘Global consumption of coal has doubled in past 3 decades’ – China, India & Indonesia are largest producers: – China ‘accounts for half of global coal production’

IEA report: In 2024, global coal production is expected to reach an all-time high, surpassing 9 Bt for the first time. The three largest producers – China, India and Indonesia – reached new records for output. China, which accounts for half of global production, is set to see output grow by 1% in 2024, despite declines in the first half of this year amid a safety campaign in Shanxi, the largest producing province. In India, the government is incentivising production from public companies, mainly Coal India, as well as captive and commercial producers. As a result, output is set to rise by over 7%. Indonesian producers, which benefited from strong domestic coal demand and sustained demand from international markets, are expected to surpass 800 Mt for the first time.
