"Coal is the most abundant type of fossil fuel, accounting for 64% of globally recoverable resources in the world, compared to oil (19%) and natural gas (17%). Coal is traditionally used in the energy sector, generating about 40% of the world's electricity. The demand for coal i…

World energy demand is surging. Oil, coal and natural gas still meet most global energy needs, creating serious implications for the environment. One result is that CO2 emissions, the principal cause of global warming, are rising. This new study underlines the close link between…
