Coal required in the times this weekend19 Dec 2021 16:59
The global economic rebound is propelling power generation from coal to a record level this year and overall demand to a potential record high next year, the International Energy Agency has warned.
Having dropped in the past two years, global power generation from coal is expected to rise by 9 per cent this year to an all-time high of 10,350 terawatt-hours, as the economic recovery has pushed up electricity demand faster than low-carbon supplies.
