Dear journalist,
Please join us for a webinar under embargo about the IEA's latest publication, the Medium-Term Coal Market Report 2016, which includes our latest five-year forecast about coal, whose role remains critical to the global energy system.
The new report seeks to understand the implications of climate agreements for the future for coal while at the same time coming to terms with the place of coal in energy security and energy access in developing and emerging economies, especially in South and Southeast Asia.
The analysis looks at China's dominance in coal markets and how the industry adjusts to changes in Chinese demand and imports. It also considers the outlook for coal consumption in the United States at a time of declining natural gas prices.
The Medium-Term Coal Market Report 2016 provides insight into the drivers of coal demand, supply and trade through 2021.
