INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY
The IEA examines the full spectrum of energy issues including oil, gas and coal supply
and demand, renewable energy technologies, electricity markets, energy efficiency, access
to energy, demand side management and much more. Through its work, the IEA advocates
policies that will enhance the reliability, affordability and sustainability of energy in its
30 member countries, 7 association countries and beyond.
The four main areas of IEA focus are:
n Energy Security: Promoting diversity, efficiency, flexibility and reliability for all fuels
and energy sources;
n Economic Development: Supporting free markets to foster economic growth and
eliminate energy poverty;
n Environmental Awareness: Analysing policy options to offset the impact
of energy production and use on the environment, especially for
tackling climate change and air pollution; and
n Engagement Worldwide: Working closely with association
and partner countries, especially major emerging
economies, to find solutions to shared

What’s new?
New IEA Member: Mexico
Mexico became the International Energy Agency’s 30th member country on 17 February 2018. Accordingly,
starting with the 2018 edition, Mexico appears in the list of IEA Members and is included in the IEA zone ag-
gregates for data starting in 1971 and for the entire time series.
New Association country: Brazil
Brazil joined the IEA as an Association country in October 2017. Accordingly, Brazil is now included in the
IEA and Accession/Association countries aggregate for data starting in 1971 and for the entire time series.

COAL OVERVIEW

Summary
variation 2016-2017 (Mtce)
World coal production increased in 2017 by 225 Mt,
an increase of 3.1% after falling for three years. At
7 549 Mt 2017 production remained 426 Mt lower
than the peak production in 2013.
The growth was influenced by a 3.3% increase in coal
production in the People’s Republic of China, to
3 376 Mt, still lower than in each of the previous six
years except 2016.
The People’s Republic of China remained the largest
coal consumer in the world with a 0.4% increase on
2016 levels.
After becoming the second largest consumer in 2015,
India continued increasing its consumption in 2017 by
23.6 Mtce, a 4.4% increase compared to 2016 numbers.
This growth was mainly driven by a higher coal de-
