Introduction Coal has provided half of the incremental energy demand globally since the beginning of the 21st century. It has been the fastest growing fuel every year since 2000 – 13 years in a row of uninterrupted growth. New energy this century from coal has been equivalent to all new energy from nuclear + oil + gas + renewables combined. Coal in the energy mix Coal is a vitally important fuel in the global energy mix, providing 30% of primary energy. Power generation is the key driver of growing coal demand. Coal is used to generate 41% of global electricity. Coal is used to produce 68% of the world’s steel. It is also a key source of energy in energy-intensive industries such as aluminium and cement.

Coal is expected to still provide 25% of primary energy in 2035 – the same level as it was in 1980 and as it has been for most of the past 30 years. In many regions of the world, this role will be even greater. In Southeast Asia, for example, by 2035 electricity generation is expected to have increased by more than the current power output of India. Coal accounts for 58% of this growth. 41% COAL IS USED TO GENERATE 41% OF THE WORLD’S ELECTRICITY COAL MATTERS Coal’s role in fuelling the future 68% COAL IS USED TO PRODUCE 68% OF THE WORLD’S STEEL OUTPUT 100% GLOBAL DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY IS LIKELY TO DOUBLE OVER THE NEXT THREE DECADES
