Thermal Coal
While China is the largest producer of thermal coal, it consumes most of it in country while restricting exports.
Thermal coal (Bituminous Coal) also known as Steam Coal is burned for steam to run turbines to generate power and electricity. It is also used in calcination in cement manufacturing process. In electricity generation, thermal coal is ground to powder and burned in boilers to produce heat, which is then is utilised to convert water into steam. The steam powers turbines, coupled to alternators, which generates electricity to power grids.
IGR has access to thermal coal in USA, Australia, Indonesia, and Russia. IGR manages the supply chain from the port of loading to the discharge port. Our supplies are authenticated by independent assayers and the entire loading process is overseen by our inspectors at the loading regions.
