>>20095138Australia is expected to fall in line with climate goals and begin limiting coal exports in the next few years.
Meanwhile, lignite production in Europe, while still significant, will fall in line with
regional demand through 2026. Hard coal production in Poland, which has
committed to shut down its coal mines by 2049, is set to continue its slow but
inevitable decline. Production dropped in the United States, though the decline
was not as steep as the collapse in demand, given higher exports and stock
building. US production is set to decline further through 2026 to below 400 Mt,
which would be the lowest level in six decades.
In Australia, production is set to decline through 2026, driven by both lower
domestic demand and exports.
