German Coal Importer Association (VDKi) / Dow Jones Newswires

While global hard coal production fell by 3 percent in 2015, Germany’s imports rose by 2 percent to 57.5 million tons compared to 2014, according to German Coal Importer Association (VDKi), writes Dow Jones Newswires. The reduction was not a sign of “a global Energiewende” - and such a transition was not in sight, VDKi chairman Wolfgang Cieslik said at a press conference.
