The United Kingdom imports coal products from Japan, specifically coke and semi-coke. In 2023, the UK imported approximately 616,000 metric tons of these materials from Japan, valued at over $250 million .
Coke and semi-coke are processed forms of coal primarily used in industrial applications like steelmaking and chemical processing. While the UK has significantly reduced its reliance on coal for electricity generation - culminating in the planned closure of its last coal-fired power station in 2024 - it continues to import coal-derived products for industrial purposes.
