Key Highlights
- Most of the global reserves are located in the US, which has 237.3 billion tonnes or a 26.6% share of the global total, followed by Russia (157 billion tonnes), China (114.5 billion tonnes), Australia (76.4 billion tonnes), India (60.6 billion tonnes) and Germany (40.5 billion tonnes). Other significant producers include Ukraine (33.8 billion tonnes), Kazakhstan (33.6 billion tonnes), South Africa (30.1 billion tonnes) and Indonesia (28.0 billion tonnes).
- Global thermal and coking coal prices; declined by 23% and 26% respectively in 2014 over the previous year. The CFR price of low volatile hard coking coal averaged US$126 per tonne in 2014, down by 22% over 2013, due to oversupply and deteriorating demand in China.
- Although coal has played a significant role in the global electricity sector so far, the fossil fuel is gradually losing its significance and its consumption is expected to decline in the long term with natural gas and renewable sources playing an increasing role.
