Abstract: Australia produces and exports large amounts of thermal coal. This industry is likely to be in long term decline. This paper provides an overview of Australian coal production and exports and discusses issues for the transition of the coal industry. It sketches possible scenarios for declining domestic use of thermal coal, and summarizes a case study of the closure of the Hazelwood power station and the programs to help the regional social and economic adjustment.
