Should the world continue to buy coal when natural gas prices fall?

For the first time in history, the price of natural gas plunged below the negative and cheap coal. Many countries are facing the option of increasing or decreasing the mua than đá, when natural gas prices are cheap and unstable.

However, at the time of COVID-19 epidemic, it was difficult for enterprises to implement plans to mua than đá for hoarding or speculating because the price of natural gas was too cheap. Not counting the forecasts of the leading epidemiologists of all countries, that the CoVid-19 epidemic is still unpredictable, the SARS virus variants are many, which makes the price of natural gas "cheap. ”.

Environmental experts take the opportunity to translate COVID-19 into their claims, as well as request governments to sharply reduce their demand for coal on the grounds that coal consumption will pollute the environment and it contributes to the creation of stronger SARS virus standards, reducing human viral resistance. As such, natural gas is preferred for consumption.

On the other hand, in order to compete with the quality of natural gas as well as its increasingly cheap price, coal must be cheaper and purer. But waiting for mining technologies to deal with clean and better coal is force majeure for coal buyers, as these technologies now show signs of stalling. Therefore, in this time, energy consuming companies still have to consider the time of mua than đá and importing coal properly to make profit.
