尽管澳大利亚实现了净零排放目标,但亚洲的煤炭需求驱动了亨特谷矿山的扩张。 Despite Australia's net zero emissions goal, coal demand from Asia drives Hunter Valley mine expansions.

由于全球需求不断增长,亨特谷的煤炭工业预计将增长,预计到2027年将达到87.7亿吨,比2024年水平上升1%。 The Hunter Valley's coal industry is forecast to grow due to rising global demand, expected to reach 8.77 billion tonnes by 2027, up 1% from 2024 levels. 中国、印度和亚洲发展中国家正在推动这种需求,这与澳大利亚的净零排放目标形成对比。 China, India, and developing Asian nations are driving this demand, which contrasts with Australia's net zero emissions goal. 该行业是一家价值750亿美元的主要出口创收企业,在联邦政府批准扩大煤矿开采时面临批评,这有可能增加温室气体排放。 The industry, a major export earner worth $75 billion, faces criticism as the federal government approves coal mine expansions, potentially increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
