What about more coking coal? Our recent China trip highlighted coking coal as a strategic concern for China's steel industry given robust steel-making conditions and the priority of thermal coal production and power generation . Coking coal is ~20% of BHP EBITDA and the company has guided to 43-46Mt this year at unit cost $68-72/tonne in FY19 lowering to $58/t medium term .
