- Thermal CoalThermal coal (steam coal) is burned in power stations to generate electricity and in industrial boilers for process heat. It is priced by calorific value (NAR/GAR), with 6,000 kcal/kg NAR being the benchmark specification. Indonesia, Australia, and South Africa are the largest seaborne exporters.Indonesia, Australia, South Africa
- Metallurgical Coal (Coking)Metallurgical (coking) coal is a premium coal grade used in blast furnaces to produce coke, which serves as both fuel and a reducing agent in iron smelting. Hard coking coal (HCC) commands the highest price, with quality measured by CSR (Coke Strength after Reaction) and volatile matter content.Australia, United States, Canada
- Steam CoalSteam coal is an intermediate-energy coal grade used in industrial boilers, district heating plants, and smaller power stations. It bridges the gap between high-CV thermal coal and low-rank sub-bituminous coals. Pricing typically follows a discount to benchmark 6,000 kcal specifications.Indonesia, South Africa, Russia
