This is a list of countries by coal production ranking countries with coal production larger than 5 million tonnes as of 2023. Coal production (million tonnes)
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 ...
World annual coal consumption 1980–2019 Consumption trends in the top five coal-consuming countries 1980–2019. Although reserves of coal remain abundant, consumption of coal has declined in many countries. In 2016, Scotland closed its last coal-fired power plant, [8] accommodated by an increase in nuclear power generation (to 42.8% of 2016 ...
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 ...
Global energy consumption, measured in exajoules per year: Coal, oil, and natural gas remain the primary global energy sources even as renewables have begun rapidly increasing. [1] Primary energy consumption by source (worldwide) from 1965 to 2020 [2] World energy supply and consumption refers to the global supply of energy resources and its ...
Rank Country Coal - exports (thousand short tons) Date of information 1 Indonesia 451,520: 2020 2 Australia 429,894: 2020 3 Russia 244,312: 2020 4 South Africa 82,573: 2020 5 Colombia
This is a list of countries by total primary energy consumption and production. 1 quadrillion BTU = 293 TW·h = 1.055 EJ 1 quadrillion BTU/yr = 1.055 EJ/yr = 293 TW·h/yr = 33.433 GW. The numbers below are for the total energy consumption or production in a whole year, so should be multiplied by 33.433 to get the average value in GW in that year.
57% of energy consumption was from coal in 2020, and 49% for coal-fired power. [35] The coal consumption was 1907 Mtoe in 2018 which is 50.2% of the global consumption. [20] The National Development and Reform Commission, which determines the energy policy of China, aims to keep China's coal consumption below 3.8 billion tonnes per annum.
