Asia Burns More Coal As Middle East War Sends LNG Prices to 3-Year Highs
Submitted by Tsvetana Paraskova of OilPrice.com,
Coal is back with a bang in Asia's power generation, as countries scramble to contain the LNG supply shortage due to the war in the Middle East.
Coal hasn't really left most Asian economies, which rely on the fuel for much of their power generation. Amid the squeeze of natural gas supply due to the de facto closed Strait of Hormuz and the sky-rocketing LNG prices that few buyers in Asia can afford, nations are scrapping previous restraints to the use of coal-fired power generation.
Developed economies like Japan and South Korea are raising the use of coal-fired power generation, while developing nations China, India, Bangladesh, and most of Southeast Asia are leaning even more on coal as gas has become scarce and much more expensive.
Asian countries “are opening the tap on coal generation to help offset rising gas prices and supply risk,” Anthony Knutson, global head ...

Gulf LNG Crisis Set To 'Make Coal Great Again'
Our weekend wrap on the global energy crisis focused on Asia as ground zero and how the shock will ripple across the world, eventually hitting the US. This is now the second major energy crunch of the decade: first Russia's invasion of Ukraine, now the U.S.-Iran conflict. However, this one looks a lot more catastrophic.
The immediate impact of this energy crunch will be a resurgence of coal, especially across Asia, as power grid operators will be forced to switch to the dirtiest fuel to keep electricity affordable during the crisis.
"We are now seeing a second, very large energy supply shock," Goldman commodities expert Samantha Dart told Bloomberg.
Dart added, "If you're sitting in Asia, going through this again, it's possible you change your strategy long term, rely more on coal for longer, build out your renewables faster, and reduce your exposure to natural gas."
