Global coal production increased 6.3% (219 mtoe) with China (+9%) again accounting for two-thirds of global growth
Coal production grew robustly in the US and Asia but fell in the European Union. Among coal exporting countries, production rose to meet international as well as domestic demand.

Methodology
Coal production includes data for solid fuels only. Included in the hard coal category are bituminous and anthracite. The sub-bituminous coal includes lignite and brown coal.
In the coal production table, the units are in million tonnes oil equivalent (mtoe). The data can be downloaded from the Excel workbook in million tonnes.


World proved reserves of coal in 2010 were sufficient to meet 118 years of global production – by far the largest R/P ratio of any fossil fuel, but well below the 2000 R/P ratio of 210 years. Europe & Eurasia holds the largest regional coal reserves and has the highest regional R/P ratio
