EIA/GTT data show Australia and Indonesia supplied 79% of Taiwan’s coal imports.
This statistic shows a different energy concentration pattern from LNG. Coal supply is dominated by two Asia-Pacific exporters, Australia and Indonesia. The share structure matters because coal still supplied a large part of Taiwan’s electricity generation in 2024.
