Coal plays a vital role in electricity generation worldwide. Coal-fired power plants currently fuel 37% of global electricity and figures from the IEA show that coal will still generate 22% of the world’s electricity in 2040, retaining coal’s position as the single largest source of electricity worldwide.

Coal passes the reliability test with flying colors. It is abundant. It is widely available. It is a stable and secure source of supply. It is inexpensive and price-stable.
More2021-3-18 Coal was the third-largest energy source for U.S. electricity generation in 2020—about 19%. Nearly all coal-fired power plants use steam turbines. A few coal-fired power plants convert coal to a gas for use in a gas turbine to generate electricity. Petroleum was the source of less than 1% of U.S. electricity generation in 2020.
MoreElectricity is one of three components that make up total energy production. The other two are transport and heating. As we look at in more detail in this article, the breakdown of sources – coal, oil, gas, nuclear and renewables – is therefore different in the electricity versus the energy mix.
