Our Impact.

Collaboration & Partnership

The Alliance creates opportunities for collaboration and partnerships between members and key stakeholders across the industry (including mining, metals and cement sectors), investment and insurance, academic institutions, and the news media.

Global Media

The Global Alliance is the only member-led organisation which is the global spokesperson for coal, speaking to its significance and total contribution. We speak and conduct interviews with all global media and run multiple educational campaigns to dispel the myths and misconceptions about coal.

Independent research confirms that a single campaign has an audience reach of at least 1.9 billion.

Government Engagement

The Alliance has access to key government bodies and ministries in territories where coal remains vital to development and decarbonisation — promoting effective policy setting which supports Sustainable Coal Stewardship, in particular the deployment of abated coal technologies.

Research

The Alliance leads coal-related research with reputable faculties around the world — including the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) in Indonesia and Moscow Financial University (FinU) in Russia.

Research conducted by ACE found that on a Value-Adjusted Levelised Cost of Electricity (VALCOE) basis, solar PV and onshore wind cannot provide the same level of security at an affordable cost as power from coal.

Events & Roadshows

The Alliance conducts major roadshows that elevate coal's profile in key countries and territories. It participates in major energy and climate change conferences and events — including mining expos and the UN Conference of Parties (COP) — ensuring members are seen, heard and understood.

Advocacy & Advice

The Alliance employs energy expertise in its dedicated policy, communications and business development functions — advising members on coal industry information, best practice and foresight. Members are represented on two subcommittees — Policy and Sustainability (PECo) and Brand and Communications (BCCo).

Networking

The Alliance facilitates networking opportunities between members and stakeholders through regular interaction, information-sharing events, and social media — including an exclusive member portal on this website.

Our "Future Coal" Leaders Forum in Singapore attracted substantial international interest in coal's non-energy applications — reclaimed coal waste yielding rare earth elements/metals (REE/REM), carbon products for aluminium, graphene, carbon fibres, and activated carbon.
