According to the press service, the commission has established a temporary ban on the export of coal and lignite by road from Kazakhstan for a period of six months.
The ban is significant because it aims to prevent a shortage of coal for domestic consumption and power generation during the winter season. Last year, Kazakhstan faced a coal crisis due to increased demand and panic buying by consumers who feared running out of fuel. Kazakhstan is also a potential supplier of coal to Europe, which is facing high energy prices and low gas inventories. Experts believe that by limiting coal exports by road, Kazakhstan hopes to ensure enough supply for its own needs and avoid a repeat of last year’s situation.[/vc_column_text][distance desktop_type=”30″][vc_btn title=”Subscribe to news digest” color=”danger” i_type=”openiconic” i_icon_openiconic=”vc-oi vc-oi-heart-empty” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fminexforum.com%2Fuser-subscriber-registration%2F|target:_blank”][distance desktop_type=”30″][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
