Global coal demand hit record high this year but is set to decline by 2030, IEA says.
IEA forecasts global coal demand to peak at 8.85 billion metric tons in 2025 before slowly declining through 2030 due to rising renewables, nuclear, and natural gas use.
- In 2025, global coal demand rises 0.5 per cent to a record 8.85 billion metric tons, and the International Energy Agency projects it will decline by 2030 as other power sources expand.
- Renewables, nuclear power, and liquefied natural gas are displacing coal, with China, which consumes 30 or more times the global average, leading the shift.
- In the United States, coal consumption rose in 2025 due to higher gas prices and President Donald Trump's measures to support coal plants, while India's coal use fell from intense monsoons increasing hydropower.
