Still, that was not fast enough to meet higher electricity demand around the world that also drove up coal use. to 33 Gigatonnes (Gt) in 2018. Coal use in power generation alone surpassed 10 Gt, accounting for a third of the total increase. Most of that came from a young fleet of coal power plants in developing Asia.
