The demand-surpassing production of metallurgical coal, in spite of the availability of environment-friendly alternatives for steelmaking in particular, is highlighted in the launch of a metallurgical coal exit list that goes beyond the thermal coal exit list that was first published in 2017 and focuses on new metallurgical coal mine plans and expansions. The metallurgical coal exit list is published by Urgewald, Reclaim Finance, BankTrack, SteelWatch, Global Energy Monitor, Coal Action Network, Coal-Free Finland, Nordic Center for Sustainable Finance, Ecodefense, Rainforest Action Network, and The Sunrise Project.
