Nearly 50 percent (of electricity)
In electricity production, it is just under 50 percent
Thermal energy I suppose, but in most cases it is used for electricity. The steel industry uses coal (or coke rather) in blast furnaces.
Coal burns. The heat boils water. The steam is used to push a turbine. The turbine rotates a generator (its a trick with magnets) that produces the electricity.
heat energy is produced when you burn coal,oil and natral gas

Coal - about 50 percent of total
For electricity it is still coal, at about 50 percent. For transport it is oil.

Electricity is a secondary energy source which means it is produced from primary energy sources such as oil, gas, nuclear energy, wind, coal, solar, etc. It may be called an energy carrier.
Electricity from coal is the electric power made from the energy stored in coal. Carbon, made from ancient plant material, gives coal most of its energy. This energy is released when coal is burned.
35% of the world's commercial energy is produced from coal
