Coal is estimated to be the fuel hardest hit by the crisis after oil. Coal demand could drop by 8% this year, investment in coal supply is set to fall by a quarter and spending on new coal-fired plants is set to fall by around 11%. However, any decline in coal's fortunes may be curtailed by the recovery of demand for the fossil fuel in China.

GOAL: to promote an understanding, on a global scale, of the dynamics of change in energy systems, quantify emissions and their impacts, and accelerate the transition to carbon-neutral, environmentally benign energy systems while providing affordable energy to all.
Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams.Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements; chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal is formed when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over millions of years.

Petra Nova is a post-combustion, coal-fuelled CCUS facility that reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 90%. The Texan power plant has been operational since 2016 and the project was completed on-budget and on-time. Petra Nova captures CO2 from a 240 MW slipstream of flue gas from WA Parish Unit 8.
Coal is classified into four main types, or ranks: anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, and lignite. The ranking depends on the types and amounts of carbon the coal contains and on the amount of heat energy the coal can produce. The rank of a coal deposit is determined by the amount of pressure and heat that acted on the plants over time.

A typical coal plant emits more sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide in a few weeks than a state-of-the-art gasification plant produces in a year. The process Gasification of solid fuels to produce chemicals is a mature industry, with hundreds of plants worldwide used to make ammonia, methanol, substitute natural gas, and diesel fuel.

China is the largest producer and consumer of coal in the world and is the largest user of coal-derived electricity. The share of coal in the energy mix declined during the 2010s, falling from 80% in 2010 to 57.7% in 2019.. Overall electricity consumption continued to rise in the 2010s, and new coal-fired power plants were constructed to help meet demand.
