Greece’s imports of coke and semi-coke rose 15% in the second quarter as the country’s energy demand surged due to scorching temperatures. The increase is also linked to growing industrial activity, driven by a recovering economy. Market analysts note that prices for these coal derivatives have remained relatively stable this year despite ongoing supply chain challenges. As Greece continues to rely on fossil fuels, its imports of coal derivatives are likely to remain significant in the near term.
