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 are 5 minerals mined in the US?

How long will the World coal reserves last?
It was predicted that our coal resources will last for around 250 years more. I am reluctant to agree with this statement though. Our oil reserves are expected to run out within the next 50 years if technology does not advance enough to give us alternatives. When this happens, our coal consumption will rise and exhaust the reserves much sooner than predicted.
Ask us anythingWhich best explains how coal deposits formed?
Coal deposits formed millions of years ago from the remains of ancient plants and organic material that were buried under sediments and subjected to heat and pressure. This process, known as coalification, transformed the plant material into coal over time. The type of coal formed depends on factors such as the amount of heat and pressure applied during the process.
