Understanding and addressing met coal expansion

Speakers

  • Ali Hasanbeigi, Ph.D., Global Efficiency Intelligence
  • Lia Wagner, Urgewald

As the world strives to limit global warming to 1.5°C, transitioning away from coal in steelmaking is essential. While efforts to reduce coal dependency have largely focused on thermal coal so far, addressing met coal is equally urgent. Financial institutions can play a crucial role in ending new met coal projects — and they now have the tools to act. In this webinar, we will explore key findings from a recent Global Efficiency Intelligence analysis on coal consumption in steel production. We will also present the Met Coal Exit List (MCEL) — a new public database published by the German NGO Urgewald, which features coal companies expanding their met coal mining activities. Finally, we will discuss how financial institutions can leverage this tool to accelerate the shift away from met coal expansion.

The webinar will take place on Thursday, February 20, 2025, at 2pm CEST.

This webinar is for financial institutions.
