This is a list of countries by coal production ranking countries with coal production larger than 5 million tonnes as of 2021. Coal production (million tonnes) Country
Historical coal production of different countries. China is the largest producer and consumer of coal and coal power in the world. The share of coal in the Chinese energy mix declined to 55% in 2021 according to the US Energy Information Agency. [1] The Chinese central government has clamped down on the pace of new construction of coal plants ...
Coal mining is an industry in transition in the United States. Production in 2019 was down 40% from the peak production of 1,171.8 million short tons (1,063 million metric tons) in 2008. Employment of 43,000 coal miners is down from a peak of 883,000 in 1923. [ 1 ] Generation of electricity is the largest user of coal, being used to produce 50% ...
Energy production and consumption play a significant role in the global economy. It is needed in industry and global transportation. The total energy supply chain, from production to final consumption, involves many activities that cause a loss of useful energy. [3] As of 2022, energy consumption is still about 80% from fossil fuels. [4]
As a fossil fuel burned for heat, coal supplies about a quarter of the world's primary energy and two-fifths of its electricity. [4] The largest consumer and importer of coal is China. China mines almost half the world's coal, followed by India with about a tenth. Australia accounts for about a third of world coal exports, followed by Indonesia ...
In 2022, the mine produced 62,180,000 short tons (56,410,000 t) of coal, [1] over 25% of Wyoming's total coal production. [2] Black Thunder's dragline excavator Ursa Major is the biggest working dragline in North America and the third largest ever made. [3] [4] It produces enough coal to load up to 20-25 trains per day.

Electricity sector of China. Data. Installed capacity (2023) 2919 GW. Production (2021) 8.5 petawatt-hour (PWh) China remains heavily dependent on coal for generation of electricity. By 2025, Asia is projected to account for half of the world’s electricity consumption, with one-third of global electricity to be consumed in China.
Russia is self-sufficient in coal, and consumed 323 million tons of coal in 2009. [7] The percentage of coal in Russian power generation has been declining since 1990, when it was 20.7%, due to growing gas consumption as well as rising nuclear and hydroelectric energy production. [2] In 2022 18% of Russia's electricity was generated from coal ...
