Deep and surface mining coal production in the United Kingdom (UK) 1970-2017
Deep and surface mining coal production in the United Kingdom (UK) 1970-2017
Coal production from deep and surface mining in the United Kingdom (UK) between 1970 and 2017 (in 1,000 metric tons)
This statistic shows volumes of coal production in the United Kingdom (UK) from deep and surface mining between 1970 and 2017. Recent coal mining output was clearly a fraction of historical yields, especially for deep mined coal which plummeted from 136.7 million metric tons in 1970 to 20,000 metric tons in 2017.
