The event for end users, coal producers, traders, financiers, shipping operators and logistics operators.

The coal markets are transitioning in Russia. Domestic demand is increasing for both thermal and metallurgical coal and this will have a long-term effect on exports. This is reflected in the Russian government’s review of the import and export taxes.

Explosions at Russian, Ukrainian and US met coal mines have impacted market prices across the world. With Russia’s steel industry expanding and government pressure to redirect resources internally, what impact with this have on the world steel markets?

Increasing electricity demand, together with a shift from gas-fired to coal-fired generation, is estimated to drive the growth of coal-fired power plant installed capacity from its current level of 38.7GW year to 46.3GW year by 2015. How will this affect thermal coal exports?

What of the buyers of Russian coals? China and Turkey’s continued growth will be discussed in detail with further overviews of the European and North Asian markets.

With Russia’s existing demand and future growth, investment is still needed within transport infrastructure, power plants and mining operations.
