2008年整个欧洲的煤炭工业Coal industry across Europe 2008

根据BP统计评论，煤炭目前贡献约29%的世界一次能源消费总量。国际能源署（IEA）认为，能源需求在2030年之前不会出现重大变化。在IEA的参考情景下，煤炭的份额有望保持稳定。即使在另一种情况下，煤炭的份额预计也只会略有下降，但煤炭的绝对使用量预计会上升。

According to the BP Statistical Review, coal currently contributes approximately 29% to the world’s total primary energy consumption. The International Energy Agency (IEA) assumes that energy demand will not see significant change until 2030. In the Reference Scenario of the IEA, coal’s share is expected to remain stable. Even in the Alternative Scenario, coal’s share is expected to experience only a slight decrease, but the use of coal is expected to rise in absolute terms.
