Coal exports from Russia began to recover in October

For 10 months of 2022, Russian coal supplies abroad decreased year-on-year by 8.2% to 167.4 million tons. This was reported to Vedomosti by two sources familiar with the statistics of the Ministry of Energy. At the same time, in October, exports grew to 17.5 million tons, which became the monthly maximum since July 2022, i.e., since the introduction of the EU embargo on coal imports from Russia.

The growth of exports in October was ensured by deliveries to non-CIS countries, which also became the maximum since July and amounted to about 16.6 million tons, one of the interlocutors clarifies. Exports to neighboring countries in October, he said, decreased compared to September and amounted to just over 900,000 tons.
