国际能源署：2030年全球煤炭需求将略有下降

Core Insights - The International Energy Agency (IEA) report indicates a slight decline in global coal demand by 2030 due to increased competition from renewable energy, natural gas, and nuclear energy [1] Summary by Categories Global Coal Demand - Global coal demand is projected to grow by 0.5% year-on-year in 2025, reaching a record high of 8.85 billion tons [1] - Despite the anticipated peak in 2025, coal demand is expected to decrease by 3% by 2030 compared to 2025 levels, and will be lower than 2023 levels [1] Factors Influencing Demand - The transformation of the electricity sector is a key driver behind the declining coal demand, with coal accounting for two-thirds of global coal consumption [1] - The surge in renewable energy capacity, steady expansion of nuclear energy, and large-scale market entry of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are contributing to the expected decline in coal-fired power generation starting in 2026 [1]
