Coal prices

Methodology

Annual prices quoted include the Northwest Europe marker price, Japan steam and coking coal import prices, and the US Central Appalachian coal spot price index.

Coal prices except for the US Central Appalachian price are calculated as cif prices, where cif = cost + insurance + freight (average freight prices). The US Central Appalachian price is fob = free on board.

All prices are quoted in US dollars per tonne.
