1 Medium-term Coal Market Report 211 Carlos Fernández Alvarez. Senior Coal Analyst. Gas, Coal and Power Markets Division Madrid, 31 January 212

2 The context Uncertainties will fundamentally shape the medium-term outlook for coal including: Economy activity and demand Chinese growth and trade policies Supply shocks - Australian floods Longer-term structural changes associated with the nature and rate of decarbonisation

3 Mtoe Coal was king over the last decade Growth in global energy demand, Nuclear Renewables 1 8 Oil Natural gas Source: IEA World Energy Outlook 211 Total non-coal Coal

4 World coal demand will continue to grow until 216 Mtce World China ROW Coal demand is expected to grow at around 6 tonnes a day to 216

5 Power dominates coal use, especially in OECD PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA UNITED STATES Electricity and heat gen.

6 Increase in coal supply concentrates in China Note that the graph only refers to the high Chinese production (HPS) scenario.

12 Importers continue to rely on existing major exporters High Production Scenario. Steam coal exports outlook Low Production Scenario Mtce 8 Mtce h 21h Australia Indonesia Russia China Other South Africa Colombia USA 29h 21h Australia Indonesia Russia Other China South Africa Colombia USA Indonesia and Australia will continue to be the main suppliers of steam coal US, as high cost supplier and swing exporter, is most affected by Chinese imports

Australia Vietnam Mongolia Indonesia other Monthly imports to China from different origins show the high volatility of Chinese purchases

15 As can very high utilization of export infrastructure Mt Mtpa Australia Indonesia South Africa Colombia United States Russia West Russia East Canada Venezuela Port capacity Mining capacity Exports Among the big exporters, only US and Australia provides market with significant spare capacity

17 Outlook for global export capacity utilisation for seaborne hard coal trade until 216 Mtpa installed mine capacity probable mine expansions potential mine expansions Port handling capacity exports - historic exports - China low production exports - China high production

18 KEY MESSAGES Coal demand will make a substantial contribution to the global energy mix to 216 Key economic uncertainties will largely shape global coal supply, demand, investment and trade over the period Coal demand and trade is projected to grow over the next 5 years, although more slowly than in the last decade China will continue to dominate global coal consumption and trade outcomes, with Indian influence growing Investments in supply capacity and handling infrastructure should be sufficient to meet incremental demand growth over the outlook period However, delays and cancelation of projects as well as weatherrelated events may tighten the market occasionally
