COAL INFORMATION (2011 Edition) PART V - V.3
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY
GENERAL NOTES
In Part V, the statistical tables on world hard coal
supply and end-use and on coal production,
consumption and trade for the major non-OECD
countries supplement the information presented in
Parts II and III of this book

.
World hard coal supply and
end-use statistics
This section provides historical data for world hard
coal supply and end-use for 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995,
2000, 2005, and 2007 to 2009. These data summarise
information published in the IEA/OECD publications
Energy Statistics of OECD Countries, 2011 Edition,
Energy Balances of Non-OECD Countries, 2011
Edition and Energy Statistics of Non-OECD
Countries, 2011 Edition. In cases where it is available,
estimated coal trade statistics are shown for 2010.
Coal balances
These tables show all coal use for selected non-OECD
countries in a format whereby coal production, imports,
exports and stock changes “balance” transformation
uses and final consumption. The transformation of
coal into secondary products is clearly accounted for.
Data for 2010 are preliminary and revised in the IEA
quarterly publication Oil, Gas, Coal and Electricity
Quarterly Statistics.
1. Data for Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine are available only after
1990. Data for all former Soviet Union republics, as well as data for the
total Former Soviet Union before 1990, are available on CD (Energy
Statistics of Non-OECD Countries).
Calorific values used to convert primary coal data for
OECD countries to million tons of coal equivalent
(Mtce) are shown in Part I. Calorific values of coal in
non-OECD countries are published annually in
Energy Balances of Non-OECD Countries.
Coal trade
Trade tables show steam and coking coal imports and
exports by origin and destination for major non-
OECD coal importers and exporters.
In order to provide a breakdown of trade between
steam coal and coking coal, the data have been
gathered from a variety of sources, including from
official submissions by OECD Member countries to
the IEA Secretariat and UNECE Member countries
to the UNECE Secretariat (in Geneva), published
national sources for each country and from
commercial publications. Data reported by exporting
countries have been used where no importing
country detail is available. Similarly, importing
country data have been used in cases where
exporting countries do not provide a breakdown of
their exports by coal type.
Due to classification anomalies and differences in
reporting methods and time periods covered, the
detailed data in the trade tables may not agree with
coal trade data presented elsewhere in Coal
Information.
