Australia's coal mining is expected to continue until 2035, with some coal power plants and mines set to retire or extend operations by that year. The country's coal industry is facing various challenges and changes, including potential closures of coal plants and efforts to reduce diesel emissions. The future of Australia's coal sector appears to be undergoing a transformation, with some outlets suggesting a significant portion of coal plants will close by 2035, while others indicate that new approvals and extensions are being made.
