Do you know why your electronic device is still running? This is due to coal and oil. You must want to know what is the largest coal producing country and the country with the largest coal reserves. In the recent world, coal is the main source of electricity and heat. The total amount of coal that can be mined is estimated to be 8.61 billion tons. Among the countries in the world, 70 countries are economically feasible. It is estimated that in the following ten countries, more than 80% of coal reserves / reserves have an upward order. So let's start:
10. Canada
Canada is a country producing anthracite and lignite, with a coal output of 62 million tons in 2003. Coal is one of the major bulk commodities transported by rail in Canada. In 2002 and 2003, 34 million tons and 30 million tons of coal were transported by rail to Vancouver Port for export respectively. The coal quantity is estimated to be 6.5 billion tons (as of 2012), ranking 10th.
Canada: 658.2 million tons, accounting for 0.1% of the world's total coal reserves
9. Colombia
In 1998, Colombia's total coal reserves were 6.6 billion tons, accounting for 0.7% of the global total reserves and about 30% of the total coal reserves in Latin America. Coal is the largest mineral product in Colombia, with an annual output of about 30 million tons, accounting for about 0.5% of the world's total coal output. Colombia's coal production areas are mainly in guasila province and Cesar Province, of which guasila province accounts for more than half of the country's total coal production. Colombia ranks ninth with an estimated coal reserve of 6.7 billion tons (2012). Most of the coal mines are located in Latin America. Larger countries produce some exports.
Colombia: 674.6 million tons, accounting for 0.8% of the world's total reserves
8. Reserves of Harbin Coal Mine
Kazakhstan holds about 33.6 billion tons of coal (3.9% of the world's total), equal to the eighth place. This is the most recoverable coal mining area in Central Asia. In 2012, the coal output was about 126 million tons, becoming the tenth largest coal producer. Most of the coal produced (about 75%) is used for domestic power consumption and power production. Bogatyr coal mine (open pit) produces the largest coal, holding 4.5 billion tons of coal.
Kazakhstan: 336 billion tons, accounting for 3.9% of the world's total reserves
7. Ukraine
In the seventh (seventh) place, it is estimated that 33.9 billion tons (3.9% of the world's total) can be mined. Most of the country's production (more than 90%) comes from the Donets Basin. In 2012, Ukraine produced 85.946 million tons of coal, accounting for about 1.2% of the world's total coal output. Mining is the main industry in eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine: 338.73 billion tons, accounting for 3.9% of the world's total reserves
6. Germany
Germany is rich in coal resources. According to the data of BP's 1997 World Energy Statistics Review, in 1996, the recoverable reserves of bituminous coal and anthracite in Germany were 24 billion T, the recoverable reserves of lignite were 43.3 billion T, and the total recoverable reserves were 67.3 billion T, accounting for 6.5% of the total recoverable reserves of coal in the world, ranking sixth in the list of recoverable reserves of coal in various countries. It accounts for 4.7% of the world's coal reserves. As of 2012, Germany is the eighth largest coal producer in the world and the largest lignite (bituminous coal) in the world. About 50% of the country's coal production is used for power generation.
Germany: 4.069 billion tons, accounting for 4.7% of the world's total reserves
5. India
India ranks fifth among the top ten countries with the largest coal reserves, with an estimated coal reserve of 60.6 billion tons (7% of the world's total). The thickest coal seam in India, perhaps the second largest in the world, is the jhingurda coal seam (140m). India is the third largest coal producer in the world, followed by the United States and China. Most of India's coal mines are located in the East, covering West Bengal, gahand, Orissa and chattisga (accounting for more than 70% of the country's total coal mines).
India: 660 billion tons, accounting for 7.0% of the world's total reserves
4. Australia
Australia ranks fourth with an estimated coal reserve of 76.4 billion tons (8.9% of the world's total coal mines). Important coal producing countries are Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. This is the world's largest coal exporter, and Australia exports about 70% of its total coal output. High quality black coal (bituminous coal) is mined in New South Wales and Queensland.
Australia: 764 billion tons, accounting for 8.9% of the world's total reserves
3. China
China is the world's largest coal producer (accounting for about 47.5%), ranking first and the third largest coal reserve country. China has an estimated 114.5 billion tons (13% of the world's total) of proven coal reserves. After repeated calculation and demonstration, by the end of 2002, China's proven coal reserves that can be directly utilized were 188.6 billion tons, and the per capita proven coal reserves were 145 tons. According to the per capita annual consumption of coal of 1.45 tons, that is, the national annual output of 1.9 billion tons of coal, it can ensure the mining for hundreds of years. In addition, more than 1 trillion tons of resources, including 331.7 billion tons of basic reserves and 687.2 billion tons of resources, can be reserved for future exploration and development.
China: US $114.5 million, accounting for 13.3% of the total global reserves
2. Russian coal reserves
The Russian Federation ranks second among the top ten countries with the largest coal reserves, with coal reserves of 157.11 billion tons (18% of the world's total). Russia's coal reserves are mainly concentrated in Kuznetsk and Kansas ahinsk basins. It is the sixth largest coal producer in the world (2012). The main coal producers in Russia are rosugol and donugol. About 65% of Russia's coal production is used for domestic purposes.
Russian Federation: 15.701 billion tons, accounting for 18.2% of the world's total reserves
1. US coal reserves
The United States ranks first in terms of the highest proven coal reserves. About 25% of the world's total coal reserves are in this country. The United States has about 23729.5 million tons of coal (as of 2012) and is also the second largest coal producer in the world. The world's largest coal (coal reserves) mine, northern antelope Rochelle, is located in the country, with an estimated recoverable reserves of 2.3 billion tons (as of 2012). The thickest coal seam in the United States and the thickest coal seam in the world is the Pittsburgh coal seam, covering 11000 square meters in 53 countries around the world.
