Coal is supposed to be the boring fuel. Old. Predictable. Kind of fading out. But if you watch global trading flows instead of headlines, it does not look boring at all. It looks twitchy. Opportunistic. More regional than “global”. And, weirdly, sometimes more creative than parts of the gas market.

Carbon is one of those words that means ten different things depending on who you ask. To a climate scientist, it is emissions, the atmosphere, and the math of what happens when we keep digging and burning. To a materials engineer, it is strength to weight ratios, conductivity, weird lattice
