In the Asia Pacific region, the coal market suffered from reduced demand and currency rate pressures amidst weak economic conditions. Increased mining activities boosted coal availability in the first and second quarters, but insufficient demand from downstream industries led to oversupply. New mines exacerbated the issue, causing a price decline. In Europe, varying consumer habits and higher coal supply drove prices down, and the shift to eco-friendly alternatives decreased orders in the second quarter. Similarly, in North America, excessive supply persisted, driven by ongoing mining activities. Steel and power sectors later stabilized demand, but oversupply remained a key challenge.

Definition
Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock formed from plant remains. It is primarily composed of carbon, along with various other elements and minerals. Coal is extracted from the ground through mining and has been a crucial energy source for centuries. It can be classified into different types based on its carbon content, moisture, and energy content. Coal’s properties include its energy content, hardness, color, and composition, which determine its suitability for various industrial and energy applications, such as electricity generation, heating, and industrial processes.
