이란 에너지 생산 증가.
세계 에너지 생산량은 2017년에 (2.4%) 역사적인 추세를 뛰어 넘고 반등했다.
중국 석탄 생산량이 3년만에 처음으로 중기하면서 중국이 세계 에너지 생산량 증가에 주된 기여를 했다.
2016년 하락 이후 세계 에너지 가격 상승으로 미국의 석유 및 가스 생산이 활기를 띠었습니다.
EU 회원국은 에너지 소비량이 완만하게 늘어나면서 원전 생산 (원전 및 수력) 석유 및 가스 자원의 고갈과 궁극적으로 석탄의 배출을 의미하는 기후 정책을 감안하여 유럽 연합의 에너지 생산은 계속 감소했다.
석유 및 가스 수출국 (러시아, 이란, 캐나다 또는 나이지리아)과 급속한 개발 도상국 (인도, 인도네시아, 터키 및 브라질)은 에너지 2017년 에너지 생산량 증가의 주된 공헌자였다. 반대로 사우디 아라비아의 에너지 생산은 OPEC 생산 감축 협약의 영향을 받았다.

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.
