With the exception of North America, non-seaborne coal trade is not represented in the source's production forecast scenarios. As a result, the projected
levels of production assume that net non-seaborne coal trade will balance out across the world regions. Presently, a significant amount of nonseaborne
coal trade takes place in Eurasia, represented by exports of steam coal from Kazakhstan to Russia and exports of coking coal from Russia to Ukraine.
For 2020, it is forecast that the global coal production will amount to some **** billion short tons. By 2040, it is forecast to reach nearly **** billion short tons.
