OilPrice.com, in an article concentrating on summer heat and high coal use for power in China, concludes overall: “The IEA [no doubt unhappily—ed.] is now projecting a growth in coal demand by 1.8 percent in 2021, higher than anyone would have previously thought as coal plants across Europe become more and more scarce. This also presents a dramatic shift from last year, as there was a significant slump in coal demand and prices in 2020 owing to lockdowns and other restrictions in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“So, as Europe continues to move dramatically away from its strong coal mining past, many parts of Asia, Australia, South Africa and South America continue to invest heavily in the traditional energy source as demand shows no plans of easing.” The article is “China Doubles Down on Coal Despite Global Push To Go Green". https://oilprice.com/Energy/Coal/China-Doubles-Down-On-Coal-Despite-Global-Push-To-Go-Green.html
