Report summary

Value-in-use (VIU) costs are on average 26% higher than unadjusted and increase the 90th percentile by 30% to US$202/t for seaborne export metallurgical coal in 2025. We estimate VIU costs across HCC, SCC and PCI. The VIU cost impact across SCC and PCI is more severe because of the lower quality difference, when compared with the Queensland premium low volatile hard-coking coal benchmark.
