Polish coal producer JSW seeks to grow its output through acquisitions
Polish coking coal producer JSW (Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa) has unveiled plans to increase its output by 2.5 Mt/year to 3 Mt/year through acquisitions. Its 2030 production target has been set at 18 Mt/year, much above the current 14.8 Mt/year (including all types of coal). However, the share of thermal coal in its production will dwindle from the current 25% to 10%. The group will focus on coking coal, betting on the rising needs of the European steel industry.
