GLOBAL COAL TRANSITIONS WORKSHOP

SAVE THE DATE | 13 – 14 MAY 2025

The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia

Introduction

With coal production and consumption decreasing in some countries while rising in others, it is clear that there are multiple coal transitions underway, occurring along diverse timelines, each with their own set of challenges and opportunities.

Globally, coal mining likely peaked in 2023 according to the International Energy Agency, however it continues to increase in some countries while decreasing in others, with expansions in India, China and Indonesia more than offsetting closures in the United States and the European Union (IEA 2023).

Spatial variability of transitions is compounded by temporal variability. In Australia, coal mining is being phased out in some parts of the country while in others it is expected to continue for decades, notably for metallurgical coal exports.

 

Objectives
