Queensland is the world’s biggest exporter of metallurgical coal - which is exported to China, Japan and Korea and used in the production of steel. Big coal mining companies say that there are no alternatives to coal for steel production, and so need to keep mining coal in Queensland out until the 2090s.We fact check this industry claim in our lively event with coal and economics expert Simon Nicholas from think tank the Institute of Energy Economics and Financial Analysis in conversation with John McCarthy, former Resources reporter for the Courier Mail and now with InQld. Simon has been looking at the emergence of new ‘green steel’ technologies globally, and what this will mean for coal exports in Queensland.
Join us for a timely discussion for anyone interested in the future of one of Queensland’s biggest exports, and what it means for our climate, our economy and our communities.
Simon Nicholas is IEEFA’s Lead Analyst for the global steel sector. Before joining IEEFA in 2016, Simon had 16 years’ experience in the finance industry at ABN Amro, Macquarie Group and Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney and London.
