Coking Coal Production MMTPA
(Source: US EIA)
U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) presents Coal consumption, coal production, coal exports and coal imports data into five coal types: anthracite, metallurgical, bituminous, subbituminous, and lignite
EIA's headline "Coal" data is sum total of anthracite, bituminous, sub-bituminous, metallurgical, and lignite
A more commonly encountered classification for "Coal" is Thermal or Steam Coal (anthracite, bituminous, sub-bituminous), Metallurgical or Coking Coal, and Lignite
Table below captures country-wise trend in Metallurgical coal (coking coal) production
For 2023, world Metallurgical coal production was 1,051.7 million tonnes, that of India was 65.0 million tonnes, that of China was 541.0 million tonnes and that for US was 59.9 million tonnes. These three countries together accounted for 63% of Metallurgical coal production
During the same year, Metallurgical coal production in Australia was 166.7 million tonnes and in Russia was 105.3 million tonnes
