LONDON (Reuters) - Insurer Travelers Europe, which has a syndicate in the Lloyd’s of London market, does not plan to insure Adani Enterprises’ Carmichael thermal coal mine, it said on Friday.
Carmichael has provoked controversy in Australia because it would open up a new thermal coal basin at a time of growing concern over global warming in a region that is in need of jobs.
“Travelers does not insure, and has no plans to insure, the Adani Carmichael mine project,” a spokeswoman said in an emailed statement.
Adani has begun construction at Carmichael, which will start by producing 10 million tonnes of coal per year, together with an associated rail project, and expects first production in 2021.
