Coal production industry developed relatively early in the world, after the nineteenth century. Usually the amount of coal mined from different periods is different between regions and countries. In general, over the past 50 years, the coal production industry has grown at an average rate of 5.4%/year, reaching 7%/year in the 1950-1980 period.
Although coal mining will have an impact on the environment, the need for human use in industries is inevitable.
Coal production in the world is concentrated mainly in the Asia-Pacific region, North America, Russia and some countries in Eastern Europe. Therefore, the countries with the largest coal reserves in the world often belong to these regions.
The leading coal-producing countries in the world can now be mentioned as the United States, India, China, Australia, Russia, … accounting for two-thirds of the world’s coal production.
Besides, there are some other countries such as South Africa, Germany, Poland, North Korea, etc. If these countries are included, the global coal production is up to 80%.
Since World War II, a series of huge coal mines have been discovered in the former Soviet Union, Poland, and East Germany. Many years later, the Soviet Union was the leading country in coal production. After 1990, due to some economic and political upheavals, coal production in the Soviet Union decreased somewhat.
Since the 90s of the twentieth century, China has been known as the world leader in coal mining, higher than the United States. Since 1983, China has been known as the leading country in coal production. In 2015, China produced 3.747 billion tons of coal, equivalent to about 48% of the total 7.861 billion tons of coal in the world.
Countries that are “lucky” to own large coal reserves in the world also mean that their coal export industry is very developed.
Trade has also become more convenient than ever thanks to sea traffic. For many years now, Australia is the name that has been mentioned many times about the highest export coal reserves in the world. Followed by countries such as China, South Africa, the United States, Canada, Poland, Russia, etc.
The production and export with at different times are different. Countries with developed industries such as Japan, Korea, UK, France, Italy, etc. have a huge demand for coal and require coal imports mainly.
Vietnam’s coal reserve ranks first in Southeast Asia
