Key Market Dynamics
Hard coal is a high-quality, low-ash, and low-sulphur coal that is used as a fuel in industries. The demand for hard coal is growing globally due to its increasing use in the cement, steel, and metal industries. In the steel industry, hard coal is used as a fuel in the blast furnace to produce pig iron, which is then used to make steel. The high carbon content of hard coal makes it an ideal fuel for the steel industry, as it produces a high-quality and consistent quality of pig iron. In the cement industry, anthracite is used as a fuel to produce heat and energy. The high heat value of hard coal makes it an ideal fuel for the cement industry, as it can produce high temperatures required for the production process. In the metal industry, hard coal is used as a fuel in the smelting process of metals such as copper, lead, and zinc. The high heat and carbon content of hard coal make it an ideal fuel for this process, as it helps to produce high-quality metals with fewer impurities. In addition to these industries, hard coal is also used as a fuel in power generation, particularly in countries like Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, where it is used as a fuel for power plants.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the hard coal market. On the one hand, the pandemic has led to a decline in demand for coal, including anthracite, as many industries have been forced to shut down or reduce their operations due to lockdowns and travel restrictions. This has resulted in a decrease in demand for hard coal, leading to lower prices for fuel. On the other hand, the pandemic has also led to an increase in demand for anthracite in certain industries. For example, the steel industry has seen an increase in demand as countries have invested in infrastructure projects to support economic recovery efforts. Additionally, the metal industry has also seen an increase in demand for hard coal as the production of electronics and electric vehicles has increased. Overall, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hard coal market has been mixed, with a decline in demand in some industries offset by an increase in demand in others.
