Russia is the world’s third largest coal exporter after Australia and Indonesia. Putin has been a proponent of further expansion of the country’s export infrastructure and seeking new coal markets, with China seen as a particularly important customer. The energy ministry told that meeting that the country’s annual coal output was expected to rise to 550-670 million tonnes by 2035 from the current 440 million tonnes.
