1. Coal Facts 2013
Based on 2012 IEA and BP data published in 2013
Coal provides 29.9% of global primary energy needs and generates 41% of the world's
electricity. It is also used in the production of 70% of the world’s steel.
Total world coal production reached a record level of 7830Mt in 2012. This represents an
annual growth of 2.9%.

Reserves
There are two internationally recognised methods for assessing world coal reserves. The first
one is produced by the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources
(BGR) and is used by the IEA as the main source of information about coal reserves. The
second one is produced by the World Energy Council (WEC) and is used by the BP
Statistical Review of World Energy.
According to BGR there are 1038 billion tonnes of coal reserves left, equivalent to 132 years
of global coal output in 2012. Coal reserves reported by the BP are much lower - 861 billion
tonnes, equivalent to 109 years of coal output.
