Coal remains one of the world’s most utilized energy resources — especially in power generation, steel manufacturing, and cement production. While global ESG goals have driven a shift toward renewables, coal still accounts for nearly 35% of global electricity generation, with Asia-Pacific countries being the primary consumers. In particular, India, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia continue to drive demand for thermal and metallurgical coal due to rapid industrialization and rising energy needs.

Our role in coal trading

At Inara, we approach coal trading with the same principles that guide our other energy segments: credibility, compliance, and control.

​

We act as a verifiable buyer-reseller, ensuring that our clients are not exposed to uncertain sources or unreliable deliveries — a common challenge in this sector.

Our coal portfolio includes:

​

• Thermal Coal (Steam Coal) – for energy/power plants (e.g., GAR 4200–6800)

• Metallurgical Coal (Coking Coal) – for industrial and steel production

• Petroleum Coke (Petcoke) – an industrial fuel substitute

• Anthracite & Biomass (on request) – for specialized uses

Commitment To Responsible Trading

While coal is often debated in environmental terms, responsible sourcing and delivery remain key to market stability and regional energy access. At Inara, we work only with traceable and compliant mines, and we engage in transactions where transparency and lawful practices are non-negotiable.

​

Our goal is not just to trade coal — it is to power economies responsibly while bridging the real needs of developing markets.
