About Thermal Coal
Thermal coal, a lower-grade bituminous or sub-bituminous coal, is primarily combusted for electricity generation and heat production in power plants and industrial facilities. Major traded grades include Indonesian sub-bituminous (GAR 4,200–5,500 kcal/kg), Australian bituminous, and South African coal, each varying in energy content, moisture, and ash percentages. Indonesia, Australia, South Africa, and Russia dominate global production and exports, supplying Asian and European markets. Buyers should verify Total Moisture and Gross Calorific Value (GCV) specifications, as these directly impact delivered energy value and transportation costs, with moisture content particularly critical in long-distance shipments.
