Were is coal found?
It has been estimated that there are over 847 billion tonnes of proven coal reserves worldwide. This means that there is enough coal to last us around 119 years at current rates of production. In contrast, proven oil and gas reserves are equivalent to around 46 and 63 years at current production levels.
What state has the most coal reserves?
Montana leads the nation in coal reserves followed by Illinois and then Wyoming which currently leads the nation in coal production.

What is coal and where is it found?
It has been estimated that there are over 847 billion tonnes of proven coal reserves worldwide. This means that there is enough coal to last us over 130 years at current rates of production. Coal is located worldwide - it can be found on every continent in over 70 countries, with the biggest reserves in the USA, Russia, China and India. All fossil fuels will eventually run out and it is essential that we use them as efficiently as possible. Coal reserves could be extended still further through a number of developments including: the discovery of new reserves through ongoing and improved exploration activities; advances in mining techniques, which will allow previously inaccessible reserves to be reached. Additionally, significant improvements continue to be made in how efficiently coal is used so that more energy can be generated from each tonne of coal produced.How is Coal Found?Coal reserves are discovered through exploration activities. The process usually involves creating a geological map of the area, then carrying out geochemical and geophysical surveys, followed by exploration drilling. This allows an accurate picture of the area to be developed.The area will only ever become a mine if it is large enough and of sufficient quality that the coal can be economically recovered. Once this has been confirmed, mining operations begin.
