Metallurgical Coal Edition – Has Global Met Coal Demand Plateaued?
Colette van der Ven spoke at Energy Tracker Asia’s high-level briefing on the structural shifts redefining the steel and raw materials industry, joining a panel of experts across energy markets, finance, international trade, and the climate transition. The discussion examined the pressures reshaping metallurgical coal markets over the coming decade, from the impact of EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on coal-based steelmaking, to China’s shift towards scrap-based Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) production, to whether and to what extent will growing steel demand across India and Southeast Asia replace China’s falling metallurgical coal demand.
Drawing on TULIP’s flagship report “The CBAM and Beyond: Leveraging EU-India Trade Cooperation to Decarbonise Indian Steel“, Colette’s intervention focused on how CBAM and other international trade-related regulations are redefining Indian steel exports.
