10. Blog β Is the World heading to an Energy Crisis β
October 2021
Australia exported 3-13 million tons per month of coal to China in 2020. If China needs 50 million tons per month that is
rapid increase in coal production. It is unclear in China and Australia would be able to ramp to meet the demand. China is
already in a shortage of perhaps 50 million tons per month.
If there is a rapid surge in coal importing to China, there could be overbidding that causes shortages for other Asian
countries. This will also make the supply chain problems even worse.
Prioritizing heating over electricity means more factory shutdowns.
Prioritizing heating coal imports over other supply chain means that the 200 ships waiting to get unloaded get bumped back
at the ports for hundreds of coal ships.
China having coal production problems is tough because building other sources of electricity and heating will take years.
Especially if China wants to get beyond current levels to support 6% per year GDP growth.

Transportation worker organizations have an open letter urging world leaders to remove restrictions hampering
the free movement of transport workers, and guarantee and facilitate their free and safe movement.
Land, Sea and air travel worker organizations support $20 trillion of world trade annually and represent 65
million global transport workers, and over 3.5 million road freight and airline companies, as well as more than
80% of the world merchant shipping fleet.

13. Supply Chain and Taxes
Companies worldwide are adapting to the pandemic by shifting production closer to customers, but such efforts
to make supply chains more resilient also complicate tax obligations, EY said.
βThereβs a lot of benefits that can be obtainedβ by overhauling global supply chains, according to Craig Hillier,
international tax and transactions services leader at EY. βBut there are all these knock-on tax, financial system,
payroll, people, talent issues that need to be addressed as well.β
CFOs need to consider βa whole host of tax issues,β including exit tax cost and transfer of goodwill, Hillier said
Thursday during an EY webinar. At the same time, companies shifting supply chains might gain benefits such as
tax breaks and funding for employment and training, he said, noting βthereβs a lot out there at the moment that
companies can take advantage of.β
