Australia Coal Mining to 2035

The "Australia Coal Mining to 2035" provides a comprehensive coverage on the Australian Coal mining industry. It provides historical and forecast data on coal production, reserves by country, and world coal prices. The report also includes a demand drivers section providing information on factors that are affecting the country’s coal industry such as demand from end use sectors including power generation, steel and cement industries. It further profiles major coal producers, information on the major active, planned and exploration projects. The report also provides Australia's international climate and clean energy partnerships as well as mining sector CO₂ emissions by commodity

Australia’s coal mining industry remains a critical pillar of the national economy, with thermal coal accounting for over 60% of total output and metallurgical coal comprising the remainder. Total coal production is estimated to have remained broadly flat in 2025 at 65.3 million tonnes (Mt), with only marginal growth over 2024. This stability is underpinned by the continued ramp-up of the Olive Downs Complex, which commenced operations in June 2023, alongside planned production increases at Sarji, Maules Creek and Burton, and improved stripping ratios and operational efficiency at the Hunter Valley and Dawson mines.

In 2026, coal production is forecast to increase by 3.9% to 483.2Mt, driven primarily by a series of operational developments. Key contributors include the continued ramp-up of the Maxwell Underground project, planned capacity increases at the Byerwen and Narrabri Underground mines, and higher output from the New Acland mine following the receipt of mine life extensions.
