Abstract
Subject Trends in China's coal use. Significance The last two years have seen a decline in China's domestic coal production and consumption, and a sharp reduction in coal imports. The country's coal sector has reached a turning point. Impacts Coal exporters such as Indonesia and Australia will suffer as China's demand for imported coal weakens. In large part due to China, global coal demand will probably flatline or fall slightly over the next five years. During the same period, global coal prices will remain under pressure, despite rapidly rising demand from India and Indonesia. New data imply China's CO2 emissions are higher than previously thought, making it more urgent to reduce coal use to combat climate change.
