Description

Coal Mining in New Zealand

The Coal Mining industry services both domestic and export markets. Domestically, electricity generators and industrial users, such as steelmakers, use locally mined coal resources to satisfy their energy requirements. Export markets make up a significant percentage of industry revenue, as much of the local production is exported. Coal exports primarily high-quality bituminous coal to steelmakers and electricity generators in key markets, such as China and Japan. The industry underwent significant restructuring following state-owned enterprise Solid Energy entering voluntary administration in August 2015. Solid Energy has since divested its coal assets to private owners, with Bathurst Resources taking control of the firm's Stockton, Rotowaro and Maramarua mines in September 2017. Bathurst Resources is now the main producer of coal in New Zealand.

Industry players use open-cast or underground mining techniques to extract coal resources for domestic use or export. The industry also includes associated activities such as washing or crushing coal.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
