Summary: China is likely to reduce imports of low-grade coal, particularly from Indonesia, due to a glut in the market and tightening carbon emission controls. This shift away from low-quality coal, such as lignite, will impact Indonesian suppliers and contribute to China’s efforts to reduce emissions. Despite this, overall coal demand in China remains strong, putting the government’s pledge to reduce consumption in doubt.
