Thanks for shedding light, sir.
From your link, I see the 6% for China. Wow, India!
MMst (MMst=million short tons)
India—24.8 MMst—25%
Japan—9.9 MMst—10%
The Netherlands—9.8 MMst—10%
Brazil—7.5 MMst—8%
China—6.4 MMst—6%
South Korea—5.9 MMst—6%
As for price spikes, I Googled for info, and an article on China popped up:
Coal prices jump to 4-month high on China's power demand
September 15, 2023
"International prices of coal have climbed to a four-month high on surging activity by fossil-fuel-burning Chinese power plants to offset the drought-induced shortage of hydroelectricity."
