The world has relied upon coal for a significant portion of its primary energy production since the Industrial Revolution. The global economy will be dependent on coal energy resources for the foreseeable future. Today, coal supplies around 30% of global primary energy, 40% of global electricity, and almost 70% of the world’s steel and aluminum industry. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects a gradual slowing of global coal demand; however, emerging economies in Asia, in particular China and India continue to drive overall demand, which could reach 9 billion tonnes globally by 2019 despite China’s attempts to curb its reliance on coal (IEA, 2014). Global coal production in 2013 was 7.8 billion tonnes (World Coal Association).
