2024 Agenda Sessions

DISRUPTIVE DISCUSSION - Finding the balance for an energy secure world through coal

Finding the balance for an energy secure world through coal

We’ve moved beyond arguing the need for coal – let’s explore the role coal can play in the planet’s green evolution
What does coal’s decarbonisation journey look like – can it disrupt our future ‘no coal’ energy outlook?
Exploring technologies that can clean coal’s footprint?
Are we cleaning our coal-fired power stations? A clean coal supply chain is not up to the miner alone
