China burns approximately 4 billion metric tons of coal each year, accounting for about half of the world’s total coal consumption. This heavy reliance on coal has significant implications for air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and global climate change.
Approximately 60% of China's total energy supply comes from burning coal, making it the largest coal consumer and producer in the world. This heavy reliance on coal has raised environmental concerns due to the significant emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants associated with coal combustion.
Around 7.9 billion tons of coal is consumed globally each year, with China being the largest consumer of coal. This consumption contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Efforts to transition to cleaner energy sources are underway to reduce reliance on coal.
The amount of coal burned by the average household varies based on factors such as the size of the house, heating efficiency, climate, and personal preferences. However, in general, an average household may burn around 2-4 tons of coal per year for heating purposes.
Assuming that coal is essentially pure carbon, each 12 kg of coal will combust to form 44 kg of carbon dioxide (C+O2 -->CO2) a bit more than 3 times as much carbon dioxide as coal. A ton of carbon will burn to form about 3 tones of carbon dioxide.
Approximately 13.5 million tons of coal are burned worldwide each day to generate energy for various purposes such as electricity production and industrial processes.
Yes, coal is very much still in use. Many power plants burn cola to produce electricity, particularly in under developed countries with growing economies. China is one of the largest users right now.
It used 620 tons.
Coal is not renewable within our life times. Much of the coal we burn today formed during the Permian, some 300 million years ago.
The key to a hot fire is not how much you burn, but WHAT you burn. Coal makes some of the hottest fires. A slower-burning fuel like diesel or kerosene will also help. Try to pack the material to be burned as much as possible; the reason coal is effective is because it is a very dense collection of carbon.
Because they have so many factories, the most in the world

Coal production statistics from the US Department of Energy indicate that in 2007, the US produced (and presumably burned) 1.146 billion tons of coal. China produces and burns slightly more.
