Abstract
Introduction
Coal is the most abundant and economical fossil fuel in the world and over
6,400 million tonnes of coal were produced globally in 2008. More than 80% of
the world' s coal reserves are located in the United States, China, India,
Russia, Australia, and South Africa. Coal is primarily used for the generation
of electricity, with smaller volumes used for industrial process heat and in
steel production.
Coal is the currently the most frequently used fuel for electricity
generation. Coal produces about 42% of the world' s electricity. On a levelized
cost of production basis, the global market value of coal-fired electricity
exceeded $400 billion in 2008.
Coal is an important fuel source and will likely remain so due to its low cost
and abundance. However, the use of coal in combustion to generate electricity
leads to various environmental challenges. The coal industry continues to
develop various clean coal technologies to address these challenges. In 2008,
global generation of electricity using clean coal technologies is currently
valued at over $61 billion.
