How much coal is being used around the world?

Archaeological records indicate that people burned coal over 4,000 years ago in Wales. Coal is second only to oil as an energy source in the world. Approximately 70% of the world's coal production is used to generate 40% of the world's electricity, 12% is made into coke used to produce 70% of the world's steel, and the remaining 18% is used for other industrial and domestic purposes. Countries deriving a majority of their electricity from coal combustion include Poland (96%), South Africa (90%), Australia (84%), China (80%), The United States (56%), and Denmark (52%). Approximately 18% of Canada's electricity is generated by using coal. In Canada, all cement plants, with the exception of a white cement plant in Ontario, use coal in their manufacturing process. A total of 1.2 million tonnes of coal was used to produce 13.5 million tonnes of cement in 2003.

How much of the world's energy comes from coal?

According to the US Institute for Energy Research, coal in 2005 was responsible for 26% of global energy production. This percentage is dropping each year as more countries and power plants move to oil and gas, the burning of which releases less harmful carbon dioxide emissions than coal. There is movement too in the establishment of renewable energy power (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel).
