Coal, a sedimentary rock composed mainly of carbon, is used to produce electricity or heat through combustion. It currently meets nearly a third of the world’s energy needs and produces roughly two fifths of global electricity. Coke, a fuel usually derived from coal is used for smelting iron ore during steel manufacturing.
Our main sources of thermal coal purchases are mining companies in strategically important producing regions. We supply thermal coal to customers from a wide range of industries and locations, including major utilities across three continents. We also sell to leading cement producers, steel mills, chemical plants and other industrial users throughout the world.
