About the indicator

Carbon dioxide emissions from burning coal. Coal releases more emissions per unit of energy obtained than any other fuel — roughly twice as much as gas — so its share of emissions is always above its share of energy consumption. The series shows that global emissions from coal are not declining despite the closure of coal plants in Europe and North America: growth in Asia outweighs the reduction.

Important: Combustion only. Methane emissions from coal mines are not included here — they are counted under methane emissions.
