Markets could face fresh volatility this year, with US president Donald Trump already imposing new tariffs on steel and aluminium imports and all goods from China, and further tariffs possible for imports from Mexico, Canada and elsewhere. Such moves could shift trade flows, raise freight costs and cause ripple effects throughout supply chains. Retaliatory tariffs could also have implications for US export markets. Meanwhile, geopolitical realignments could affect regulations on carbon emissions.

 

Energy-intensive industries — including cement making, power generation, refining, steel manufacturing and shipping — will have to weigh these uncertainties in evaluating the prospects for solid fuels. Join our forum as experts from across the globe come together to discuss the outlook for the petroleum coke, biomass, gas, LNG and carbon emissions markets.
