Statistics report on global coal emissions

This report presents a selection of statistics and facts about global emissions from coal. It includes comparisons of coal emissions with other polluting energy sources, global coal consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions from coal use. Also provided is information on the most polluting coal plants and mines, as well as an outlook that includes coal capacity pathways to carbon neutrality and emissions from proposed projects.
