Lignite, also known as brown coal, is a low-grade coal that is predominantly used as a source of energy. With its high moisture content and low energy density, lignite is primarily utilized in power generation and industrial processes. In recent years, the global demand for lignite has been on the rise due to its cost-effectiveness and widespread availability. As a result, several countries have emerged as key import markets for lignite. China holds the top spot as the world's largest importer of lignite, followed by Serbia, Slovenia, Uzbekistan, and Slovakia. These countries heavily rely on lignite for various purposes such as power generation and industrial processes. The growing demand for lignite in these markets reinforces its position as an important source of energy and strengthens their energy security.
