It also covers the historic and forecast data on global coal production, production by country and by grade and type, historic and forecast consumption and consumption by sector and major exporting and importing countries. Summary: Global reserves of coal totaled 891.5 billion tones at the end of 2014, according to BP Statistical Review of World Energy. Of these, around 45.2% are bituminous grade and coking type, with sub-bituminous and lignite-graded coal accounting for the rest.
