The Asia-Pacific region is expected to reign supreme as the leading coal-producing region in the future, helped along by Chinas impressive coal reserves, according to a new report by natural resources intelligence expert GBI Research.
This new report states that China is Asias main coal-producing force, not only being the largest coal-producing country in the Asia-Pacific region, but also the largest in the world.
The regions coal industry comprises China, India, Australia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Vietnam and New Zealand. China contributed 68% towards the regions total coal production in 2011. In contrast to Chinas colossal production, 2011 saw India offer a 13% share of regional production, while Australia accounted for an 8.5% share and Indonesia made a 7.2% contribution.
