flag Global coal use hits record in 2025, but long-term decline expected as China shifts to renewables.

flag Global coal use is set to reach a record 8.845 billion tonnes in 2025, driven by a 37 million tonne rise in the U.S. due to pro-coal policies, but long-term decline is expected as China cuts coal demand to 4.879 billion tonnes by 2027 and 4.772 billion by 2030, fueled by renewable and nuclear growth. flag Despite temporary increases in some regions, the IEA projects a plateau and slight decline in global coal demand by 2030, with China’s shift being the primary factor.
