In 2000, coal provided 28% of the world’s fossil fuel energy production, compared with 45% for oil. The growth in China’s coal consumption since 2000 dwarfs that of all other countries combined. The less politically risky deposits present formidable technical challenges. Coal has led the growth in fossil fuel production.
