Coal is a combustible, sedimentary, organic rock, which is composed mainly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It is formed from ancient vegetation, which has been laid down and then compressed and heated over millions of years to form coal seams.
Coal has been the fastest growing energy source over the last ten years and global demand continues to rise, especially in South East Asia.
Not only does coal provide electricity, accounting for 38 percent of the global power production, it is also an essential fuel for steel and cement production, and other industrial activities.
Our coal helps power regional economies through its contribution to energy generation and steel production and is highly sought-after for its unique properties, including the fact it delivers among the lowest carbon emissions per ton of coal consumed in the seaborne trade.
We look to the future with clear purpose. We want to continue to be a reliable source of coal that powers and builds societies around the world. We want to sustain and potentially diversify our business into other commodities and alternative energy opportunities.
