Coal market in Australia
The production of coal in Australia has steadily increased over the past 20 years. Coal is mined in every state, with the largest black coal mines located in Queensland and New South Wales. The country produces significantly more coal than it consumes, resulting in a large coal export market. Most of the coal mined in Australia is exported to eastern Asia.
