Hi @markjenkinsonmp
Pls explain how #Cumbriacoalmine wld save shipping emissions if most of its output wld be exported far East to Asia - which WCM's consultant WoodMackenzie advised in Inquiry as poss market if EU+UK stick to their climate commitments? 🧵

@markjenkinsonmp And also why highlight "savings" in shipping emissions? For US to UK/EU they would be ~1% to 2% of the huge size of the end-use emissions (9 million tonnes CO2e pa).
The 9Mtpa would be zero if the Cumbria coal left in the ground.
The UK & EU steel industry is switching from coal:

@markjenkinsonmp Why have you not taken into account blast furnace closure plans for UK & EU by 2030 (& 2035)?
Especially as WCM's own info shows its mine wldn't reach full production until ~2029, when 2 of UK's 4 active BFs likely to be replaced by EAFs:

Also read Colin Muncie's tweets in the thread I linked to.
He was MD of steel mills Teesside & US.
And note that from 2030 to ~2035 there wld be further closure of blast furnaces in EU & UK (most likely down to zero in UK by 2035 with switching to EAFs)
So no need for WCM coal!
