The peak of coal's share in the global energy mix was in 2008, when coal accounted for 30% of global energy production. [3] Coal consumption is declining in the United States and Europe, as well as developed economies in Asia. [3] However production increased in India, Indonesia and China, which offset the falls in other regions. [5]
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]
Global coal demand is likely to have peaked this year, and could drop by about 2% over the next three years as China brings more renewable energy sources online, the International Energy Agency ...
Global coal use was 8.3 billion tonnes in 2022, [14] and is set to remain at record levels in 2023. [15] To meet the Paris Agreement target of keeping global warming below 2 °C (3.6 °F) coal use needs to halve from 2020 to 2030, [16] and "phasing down" coal was agreed upon in the Glasgow Climate Pact.
Global coal consumption reached an all-time high in 2024, climbing to 8.77 billion metric tons as global electricity demand outpaced the expansion of renewable energy. Despite its contribution to ...
Renewables also surpassed nuclear generation in 2022 after first doing so last year. Growth in wind and solar significantly drove the increase in renewable energy and contributed 14% of the ...
