Coal reserves are available in almost every country worldwide, with recoverable reserves in around 70 countries. The biggest reserves are in the USA, Russia, China, Australia and India. World coal reserves in 2019 stood at 1070 billion tonnes and are heavily concentrated in just a few countries: US (23%), Russia (15%), Australia (14%) and China
Coal production growth slowed down in Russia (+1% only) and remained stable in Turkey. In the EU, climate policies, the end of subsidies for coal production in 2018, high carbon prices and the increased competition from renewables and gas in the power sector contributed to a 15% fall in coal production, especially in Germany and Poland.
Australia produces 554,763,963 tons (short tons, quot;stquot;) of Coal per year (as of 2016) ranking 4th in the world. Coal Exports Australia exports 77% of its Coal production (427,044,241 tons in 2016).
In Australia, nearly 80% of coal is produced from opencut mines in contrast with the rest of the world where opencut mining only accounts for 40% of coal production. Opencut mining is cheaper than underground mining and enables up to 90% recovery of the in situ resource.
Glencore has downgraded its coal production forecast from 132 million tonnes to 114 million tonnes as it plans to reduce coal output in Australia for the rest of this year.
Australia has remained steady in fourth place, consistently hovering around the 500mt mark since 2014. It is also the ninthlargest consumer of coal in the world at 113mt. The country may yet face a boost to its coal production, as recent victor of the climate election Scott Morrison is a wellknown supporter of the coal industry, having

Total domestic production has more than doubled since the early 1990s and export volumes have grown strongly. Australia produced around 510 million tonnes (Mt) of coal in 2017/18, of which around 75 per cent (380 Mt) was exported, up from 55 per cent in 1990/91 (Graph 1). Graph 1.
For example, the production of coal in Australia reached over 300 million metric tons of oil equivalent in 2018, while only around 44 million metric tons of oil equivalent had been consumed in the...
In 2019 there were only two left: Poland and Czechia. Poland produced million tonnes hard coal (95 % of the total EU production) and Czechia produced million tonnes (5 %). Compared with 2012, which was the last peak in the EU hard coal production (123 million tonnes) with 2019, Poland decreased its production by 22 % and Czechia by 70 %.
Australia''s principal black coal producing basins are the Bowen (Queensland) and Sydney (New South Wales) Basins. Locally important black coal mining operations include Collie in Western Australia, Leigh Creek in South Australia and Fingal and Kimbolton in
#0183;#32;Coal Coal World distribution of coal: Coal is a widespread resource of energy and chemicals. Although terrestrial plants necessary for the development of coal did not become abundant until Carboniferous time ( million to million years ago), large sedimentary basins containing rocks of Carboniferous age and younger are known on virtually every continent, including Antarctica
While Australias coal production is important, it is not the largest coal producer. There are a number other countries in the world that produce very large amounts of coal.

#0183;#32;Australia is the world''s fourthlargest coal producer as well as one if its largest net exporters accounting for close to 24% of total world steam coal exports in 2015. Australia mainly exports noncoking coal to China, India, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. IHS Markit predicts the continent will continue to play a key role supplying Asia''s
Over the next few years, Australian coal production and exports are expected to grow fairly modestly. Introduction. Australia is one of the world''s largest producers and exporters of coal. Total domestic production has more than doubled since the early 1990s and export volumes have grown strongly. Australia
In 1997, world production of black coal was approximately billion tonnes; Australia was the sixth largest producer, contributing 220 Mt (6%). The main producers are the USA and China (60%). Most of Australias black coal is mined in New South Wales and Queensland with approximately 70% of this being exported, mainly to Japan, making Australia the worlds largest exporter of black coal.
