The future of coal use in energy and industry is uncertain, with energy transition goals firmly in place but unclear pathways to achieving them. The pace of policy and technological advancements will determine the quantum of coal demand in the coming decades.

While the US and EU lead the way, Asian countries’ commitment remains unclear. Low carbon solutions – such as renewables, ESS, hydrogen, and CCUS – can either replace or secure the legacy of coal. Can low carbon solutions compete and ensure energy supply despite investment constraints and declining investment environments as coal investors withdraw?
