About This Statistic

The share of electricity production from coal sources of total electricity production. Sources of electricity refer to the inputs used to generate electricity. Coal refers to all coal and brown coal, both primary (including hard coal and lignite-brown coal) and derived fuels (including patent fuel, coke oven coke, gas coke, coke oven gas, and blast furnace gas). Peat is also included in this category.

MapTheory retains one fixed reference year and unit. Only finite values mapped to ISO 3166-1 numeric codes are included; aggregates, missing values and non-ISO geographies are excluded. No value is estimated, imputed or carried across years.
