2. PRODUCT DEFINITIONS
Coal
Coal is a family name for a variety of solid organic fuels and refers to a whole range of combustible sedimentary rock materials spanning a continuous quality scale. For convenience, this continuous series is often divided into four categories: Anthracite Bituminous coal Sub-bituminous coal Lignite/Brown coal Classification of different types of coal into practical categories for use at an international level is difficult for two reasons: Divisions between coal categories vary between classification systems, both national and international, based on calorific value, volatile matter content, fixed carbon content, caking and coking properties, or some combination of two or more of these criteria. Although the relative value of the coals within a particular category depends on the degree of dilution by moisture and ash and contamination by sulphur, chlorine, phosphorous and certain trace elements, these factors do not affect the divisions between categories. Coal quality can vary and it is not always possible to ensure that available descriptive and analytical information is truly representative of the body of coal to which it refers. The International Coal Classification of the Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) recognises two broad categories of coal: i) hard coal - Coal of gross calorific value greater than 5 700 kcal/kg (23.9 GJ/t) on an ash-free but moist basis and with a mean random reflectance of vitrinite of at least 0.6. ii) brown coal - Non-agglomerating coal with a gross calorific value less than 5 700 kcal/kg (23.9 GJ/t) containing more than 31 per cent volatile matter on a dry mineral matter free basis. The IEA has adopted this definition of Hard Coal and Brown Coal in this book and in other publications for presenting statistics relating to coal production, trade and consumption. It should be stressed that this classification system is based on the inherent qualities of the coal in question and not on the final use of the coal. In this way the classification system attempts to be objective and simple to apply. Furthermore, in order to improve the information base for coal market analysis and projections, these two categories of coal have been further sub-divided in IEA/OECD Coal Statistics from 1978 as follows:

Hard coal
Hard coal is calculated as the sum of coking coal and steam coal. Coking coal: defined as hard coal with a quality that allows the production of coke suitable to support a blast furnace charge. Steam coal: defined as all other hard coal not classified as coking coal. Also included are recovered slurries, middlings and other low-grade coal products not further classified by type. Coal of this quality is also commonly known as thermal coal. Note that for the countries listed below, steam coal also includes sub-bituminous coal - Australia,

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY

8 - COAL INFORMATION (2010 edition)

Belgium, Finland, France, Iceland, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal and the United States. Except for these 11 countries, steam coal for all other countries in the world is equivalent to the sum of anthracite and other bituminous coal.

Data presented in this book may be different from that presented in the national publications of countries because countries may have adopted a different coal classification and reporting system that better suits their particular national needs. As far as possible national coal statistics reported by the IEA in this book and in other publications have been adjusted to be consistent with the IEA definitions noted above. In cases where data presented in Mtoe or Mtce in this book and sourced to OECD/IEA Energy Balances, the term Coal includes all primary coal types (including hard coal and brown coal), peat and coal products (including patent fuel, coke oven coke, gas coke, coal tar, BKB, coke oven gas, blast furnace gas, and oxygen steel furnace gas). Peat is defined as a combustible soft, porous or compressed fossil sedimentary deposit of plant origin with high water content (up to 90 per cent in the raw state), easily cut, of light to dark brown colour.

Brown coal/lignite
Brown coal is calculated as the sum of sub-bituminous coal and lignite. Sub-bituminous coal: defined as non-agglomerating coals with a gross calorific value between 4 165 kcal/kg (17.4 GJ/t) and 5 700 kcal/kg (23.9 GJ/t). Lignite: defined as non-agglomerating coal with a gross calorific value less than 4 165 kcal/kg (17.4 GJ/t). Note that for 11 countries (listed above), subbituminous coal is included in steam coal and not brown coal. Primary coal used in pulverised (or granular) coal injection in blast furnaces is commonly abbreviated to PCI (or GCI) coal. (In this book PCI should be read to include GCI). The IEA does not have a separate category for PCI as the term defines a particular end-use for coal. In IEA statistics, PCI is included in steam coal (except for Japan where it is included with coking coal).

Coal Products
Derived solid fuels are products resulting from the transformation or manufacturing of hard coal, brown coal or other primary solid fuels, sometimes with the addition of other materials

Coal and coal products


Flow Coal and coal products Short name COAL Definition (for balances only) This is the sum of all primary coals (not peat) and all derived coal products (cokes, gases, tars, briquettes etc) with the exception of gas works gas which is included with natural gas for IEA balances. Hard Coal refers to coal of gross calorific value greater than 23 865 kJ/kg (5 700 kcal/kg) on an ash-free but moist basis and with a mean random reflectance of vitrinite of at least 0.6. Hard coal is the sum of Coking Coal and Steam Coal. A high rank coal used for industrial and residential applications. It is generally less than 10% volatile matter and a high carbon content (about 90% fixed carbon). Its gross calorific value is greater than 23 865 kJ/kg (5 700 kcal/kg) on an ash-free but moist basis. Coal with a quality that allows the production of a coke suitable to support a blast furnace charge. Its gross calorific value is greater than 23 865 kJ/kg (5 700 kcal/kg) on an ash-free but moist basis. Other bituminous coal is used for steam raising and space heating purposes and includes all bituminous coal that is not included under coking coal. It is usually more than 10% volatile matter and a relatively high carbon content (less than 90% fixed carbon). Its gross calorific value is greater than 23 865 kJ/kg (5 700 kcal/kg) on an ashfree but moist basis. Steam coal is coal used for steam raising and space heating purposes and includes all Anthracite coals and Bituminous coals not included under Coking coal. For some countries (see Note on Coal Classification above) Steam Coal includes sub-bituminous coal. Brown coal is the sum of lignite and sub-bituminous coal. For some countries (see Note on Coal Classification above) Brown Coal excludes sub-bituminous coal. Non-agglomerating coals with a gross calorific value between 17 435 kJ/kg (4 165 kcal/kg) and 23 865 kJ/kg (5 700 kcal/kg) containing more than 31 per cent volatile matter on a dry mineral matter free basis. Non-agglomerating coal with a gross calorific value of less than 17 435 kJ/kg (4 165 kcal/kg), and greater than 31 per cent volatile matter on a dry mineral matter free basis. Oil shale and tar sands produced and combusted directly are included in this category. Oil shale and tar sands used as inputs for other transformation processes are also included here. Combustible soft, porous or compressed, fossil sedimentary deposit of plant origin with high water content (up to 90 per cent in the raw state), easily cut, of light to dark brown colour. Peat used for nonenergy purposes is not included.

Coal and coal products


Flow Patent fuel Short name PATFUEL Definition A composition fuel manufactured from hard coal fines with the addition of a binding agent. The amount of patent fuel produced is, therefore slightly higher than the actual amount of coal consumed in the transformation process. The solid product obtained from the carbonisation of coal, principally coking coal, at high temperature. It is low in moisture content and volatile matter. Also included are semi-coke, a solid product obtained from the carbonisation of coal at a low temperature, lignite coke, semi-coke made from lignite/brown coal, coke breeze and foundry coke. A by-product of hard coal used for the production of town gas in gas works. Gas coke is used for heating purposes. Coal tar is a result of the destructive distillation of bituminous coal. Coal tar is the liquid by-product of the distillation of coal to make coke in the coke oven process. Coal tar can be further distilled into different organic products (e.g. benzene, toluene, naphthalene), which normally would be reported as a feedstock to the petrochemical industry. Composition fuels manufactured from lignite/brown coal, produced by briquetting under high pressure. These figures include peat briquettes, dried lignite fines and dust. Covers all types of gas produced in public utility or private plants, whose main purpose is the manufacture, transport and distribution of gas. It includes gas produced by carbonisation (including gas produced by coke ovens and transferred to gas works), by total gasification (with or without enrichment with oil products), by cracking of natural gas, and by reforming and simple mixing of gases and/or air. This heading also includes substitute natural gas, which is a high calorific value gas manufactured by chemical conversion of a hydrocarbon fossil fuel. Obtained as a by-product of the manufacture of coke oven coke for the production of iron and steel. Produced during the combustion of coke in blast furnaces in the iron and steel industry. It is recovered and used as a fuel partly within the plant and partly in other steel industry processes or in power stations equipped to burn it. Obtained as a by-product of the production of steel in an oxygen furnace and is recovered on leaving the furnace. The gas is also known as converter gas, LD gas or BOS gas.

3. FLOW DEFINITIONS STATISTICS


Supply
Flow Production Short name INDPROD Definition Production refers to the quantities of fuels extracted or produced, calculated after any operation for removal of inert matter or impurities (e.g. sulphur from natural gas). For other hydrocarbons (shown with crude oil), production should include synthetic crude oil (including mineral oil extracted form bituminous minerals such as oil shale and tar sands, etc.). Production of secondary oil products represents the gross refinery output. Secondary coal products and gases represent the output from coke ovens, gas works, blast furnaces and other transformation processes. From other sources refers to both primary energy that has not been accounted for under production and secondary energy that has been accounted for in the production of another fuel. For example, under additives: benzol, alcohol and methanol produced from natural gas; under refinery feedstocks: backflows from the petrochemical industry used as refinery feed-stocks; under other hydrocarbons (included with crude oil): liquids obtained from coal liquefaction and GTL plants; under primary coal: recovered slurries, middlings, recuperated coal dust and other low-grade coal products that cannot be classified according to type of coal from which they are obtained; under gas works gas: natural gas, refinery gas, and LPG, that are treated or mixed in gas works (i.e. gas works gas produced from sources other than coal). Imports comprise the amount of fuels obtained from or supplied to other countries, whether or not there is an economic or customs union between the relevant countries. Coal in transit should not be included. Exports comprise the amount of fuels obtained from or supplied to other countries, whether or not there is an economic or customs union between the relevant countries. Coal in transit should not be included.

Flow International marine bunkers Short name MARBUNK Definition International marine bunkers covers those quantities delivered to ships of all flags that are engaged in international navigation. The international navigation may take place at sea, on inland lakes and waterways, and in coastal waters. Consumption by ships engaged in domestic navigation is excluded. The domestic/international split is determined on the basis of port of departure and port of arrival, and not by the flag or nationality of the ship. Consumption by fishing vessels and by military forces is also excluded. See definitions of transport, fishing, and other non-specified. As per international marine bunkers, International aviation bunkers covers those quantities delivered to aircraft of all flags that are engaged in international aviation. Consumption by aircraft engaged in domestic aviation is excluded. The domestic/international split is determined on the basis of airport of departure and airport of arrival, and not by the flag or nationality of the aircraft. Consumption by military forces is also excluded. Stock changes reflects the difference between opening stock levels on the first day of the year and closing levels on the last day of the year of stocks on national territory held by producers, importers, energy transformation industries and large consumers. Oil and gas stock changes in pipelines are not taken into account. With the exception of large users mentioned above, changes in final users' stocks are not taken into account. A stock build is shown as a negative number, and a stock draw as a positive number. Domestic supply is defined as production + from other sources + imports - exports - international marine bunkers stock changes. Transfers comprises interproduct transfers, products transferred and recycled products. Interproduct transfers results from reclassification of products either because their specification has changed or because they are blended into another product, e.g. kerosene may be reclassified as gasoil after blending with the latter in order to meet its winter diesel specification. The net balance of interproduct transfers is zero. Products transferred is intended for petroleum products imported for further processing in refineries. For example, fuel oil imported for upgrading in a refinery is transferred to the feedstocks category. Recycled products are finished products which pass a second time through the marketing network, after having been once delivered to final consumers (e.g. used lubricants which are reprocessed). Statistical difference is defined as deliveries to final consumption + use for transformation processes and consumption by energy industry own use + losses - domestic supply - transfers. Statistical differences arise because the data for the individual components of supply are often derived from different data sources by the national administration. Furthermore, the inclusion of changes in some large consumers' stocks in the supply part of the balance introduces distortions which also contribute to the statistical differences.

Transformation processes
Flow Transformation processes Main activity producer electricity plants Short name TOTTRANF Definition Transformation processes comprise the conversion of primary forms of energy to secondary and further transformation (e.g. coking coal to coke, crude oil to oil products, and fuel oil to electricity). Electricity plants refers to plants which are designed to produce electricity only. If one or more units of the plant is a CHP unit (and the inputs and outputs can not be distinguished on a unit basis) then the whole plant is designated as a CHP plant. Main activity producers generate electricity and/or heat for sale to third parties, as their primary activity. They may be privately or publicly owned. Note that the sale need not take place through the public grid. Electricity plants refers to plants which are designed to produce electricity only. If one or more units of the plant is a CHP unit (and the inputs and outputs can not be distinguished on a unit basis) then the whole plant is designated as a CHP plant. Autoproducer undertakings generate electricity and/or heat, wholly or partly for their own use as an activity which supports their primary activity. They may be privately or publicly owned. Combined heat and power plants refers to plants which are designed to produce both heat and electricity (sometimes referred to as cogeneration power stations). If possible, fuel inputs and electricity/heat outputs are on a unit basis rather than on a plant basis. However, if data are not available on a unit basis, the convention for defining a CHP plant noted above should be adopted. Main activity producers generate electricity and/or heat for sale to third parties, as their primary activity. They may be privately or publicly owned. Note that the sale need not take place through the public grid. Combined heat and power plants refers to plants which are designed to produce both heat and electricity (sometimes referred to as cogeneration power stations). If possible, fuel inputs and electricity/heat outputs are on a unit basis rather than on a plant basis. However, if data are not available on a unit basis, the convention for defining a CHP plant noted above should be adopted. Note that for autoproducer's CHP plants, all fuel inputs to electricity production are taken into account, while only the part of fuel inputs to heat sold is shown. Fuel inputs for the production of heat consumed within the autoproducer's establishment are not included here but are included with figures for the final consumption of fuels in the appropriate consuming sector. Autoproducer undertakings generate electricity and/or heat, wholly or partly for their own use as an activity which supports their primary activity. They may be privately or publicly owned. Heat plants refers to plants designed to produce heat only and who sell heat to a third party (e.g. residential, commercial or industrial consumers) under the provisions of a contract. Main activity producers generate electricity and/or heat for sale to third parties, as their primary activity. They may be privately or publicly owned.

Flow Autoproducer heat plants Short name AUTOHEAT Definition Heat plants refers to plants designed to produce heat only and who sell heat to a third party (e.g. residential, commercial or industrial consumers) under the provisions of a contract. Autoproducer undertakings generate electricity and/or heat, wholly or partly for their own use as an activity which supports their primary activity. They may be privately or publicly owned. Heat pumps includes heat produced by heat pumps in transformation. Heat pumps that are operated within the residential sector where the heat is not sold are not considered a transformation process and are not included here the electricity consumption would appear as residential use. Includes electric boilers used to produce heat. Includes heat from chemical processes that is used to generate electricity. Blast furnaces covers the quantities of fuels used for the production of blast furnace gas and oxygen steel furnace gas. The production of pigiron from iron ore in blast furnaces uses fuels for supporting the blast furnace charge and providing heat and carbon for the reduction of the iron ore. Accounting for the calorific content of the fuels entering the process is a complex matter as transformation (into blast furnace gas) and consumption (heat of combustion) occur simultaneously. Some carbon is also retained in the pig-iron; almost all of this reappears later in the oxygen steel furnace gas (or converter gas) when the pig-iron is converted to steel. In the 1992/1993 annual questionnaires, Member Countries were asked for the first time to report in the transformation sector the quantities of all fuels (e.g. pulverised coal injection [PCI] coal, coke oven coke, natural gas and oil) entering blast furnaces and the quantity of blast furnace gas and oxygen steel furnace gas produced. The Secretariat then needed to split these inputs into the transformation and consumption components. The transformation component is shown in the row blast furnaces/gas works in the column appropriate for the fuel, and the consumption component is shown in the row iron and steel, in the column appropriate for the fuel. Originally, the Secretariat assumed that there was a transformation efficiency of 100%, which meant that the energy going into the transformation process was equal to the energy coming out (i.e. equivalent to the energy content of the gases produced). However, when the IEA data were used to calculate CO2 emissions from fuel combustion using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methodology, as published in the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, the blast furnaces were showing a carbon gain. Starting with the 1998 edition, the Secretariat decided to assume a transformation efficiency such that the carbon input into the blast furnaces should equal the carbon output. This is roughly equivalent to assuming an energy transformation efficiency of 40%.

Energy industry own use and losses


Flow Energy industry own use Short name TOTENGY Definition Energy industry own use covers the amount of fuels used by the energy producing industries (e.g. for heating, lighting and operation of all equipment used in the extraction process, for traction and for distribution). It includes energy consumed by energy industries for heating, pumping, traction and lighting purposes [ISIC Rev. 4 Divisions 05, 06, 19 and 35, Group 091 and Classes 0892 and 0721]. Represents the energy which is used directly within the coal industry for hard coal and lignite mining. It excludes coal burned in pithead power stations (included under electricity plants in transformation processes) and free allocations to miners and their families (considered as part of household consumption and therefore included under residential). For oil and gas extraction, flared gas is not included. Companies own consumption of fuels in operating a furnace. Comprises consumption of fuels at the gas works and gasification plants. Includes own consumption of biogas necessary to support temperatures needed for anaerobic fermentation. Companies own consumption of fuels at the coking plant.

Final consumption
Flow Final consumption Short name FINCONS Definition Equal to the sum of the consumption in the end-use sectors. Energy used for transformation processes and for own use of the energy producing industries is excluded. Final consumption reflects for the most part deliveries to consumers (see note on stock changes). Backflows from the petrochemical industry are not included in final consumption (see from other sources under supply and petrochemical plants in transformation processes). Starting with the 2009 edition, international aviation bunkers is no longer included in final consumption at the country level. Industry consumption is specified as follows: (energy used for transport by industry is not included here but is reported under transport): [ISIC Rev. 4 Group 241 and Class 2431] [ISIC Rev. 4 Divisions 20 and 21] Excluding petrochemical feedstocks. [ISIC Rev. 4 Group 242 and Class 2432] Basic industries. [ISIC Rev. 4 Division 23] Such as glass, ceramic, cement, etc. [ISIC Rev. 4 Divisions 29 and 30] [ISIC Rev. 4 Divisions 25 to 28] Fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment other than transport equipment. [ISIC Rev. 4 Divisions 07 and 08 and Group 099] Mining (excluding fuels) and quarrying. [ISIC Rev. 4 Divisions 10 to 12] [ISIC Rev. 4 Divisions 17 and 18] [ISIC Rev. 4 Division 16] Wood and wood products other than pulp and paper. [ISIC Rev. 4 Division 41 to 43] [ISIC Rev. 4 Divisions 13 to 15] [ISIC Rev. 4 Divisions 22, 31 and 32] Any manufacturing industry not included above. Note: Most countries have difficulties supplying an industrial breakdown for all fuels. In these cases, the non-specified industry row has been used. Regional aggregates of industrial consumption should therefore be used with caution. Consumption in transport covers all transport activity (in mobile engines) regardless of the economic sector to which it is contributing [ISIC Rev. 4 Divisions 49 to 51], and is specified as follows:

Final consumption
Flow Domestic aviation Short name DOMESAIR Definition Includes deliveries of aviation fuels to aircraft for domestic aviation commercial, private, agricultural, etc. It includes use for purposes other than flying, e.g. bench testing of engines, but not airline use of fuel for road transport. The domestic/international split should be determined on the basis of departure and landing locations and not by the nationality of the airline. Note that this may include journeys of considerable length between two airports in a country (e.g. San Francisco to Honolulu). For many countries this incorrectly includes fuel used by domestically owned carriers for outbound international traffic; Road includes fuels used in road vehicles as well as agricultural and industrial highway use. Excludes military consumption as well as motor gasoline used in stationary engines and diesel oil for use in tractors that are not for highway use.

4. FLOW DEFINITIONS BALANCES


Supply
Flow Production Short name INDPROD Definition Production is the production of primary energy, i.e. hard coal, lignite/brown coal, peat, crude oil, NGLs, natural gas, combustible renewables and waste, nuclear, hydro, geothermal, solar and the heat from heat pumps that is extracted from the ambient environment. Production is calculated after removal of impurities (e.g. sulphur from natural gas). Calculation of production of hydro, geothermal, etc. and nuclear electricity is explained in Section 6. Comprise amounts having crossed the national territorial boundaries of the country whether or not customs clearance has taken place. Imports comprise the amount of fuels obtained from other countries, whether or not there is an economic or customs union between the relevant countries. Coal in transit should not be included. Comprise amounts having crossed the national territorial boundaries of the country whether or not customs clearance has taken place. Exports comprise the amount of fuels supplied to other countries, whether or not there is an economic or customs union between the relevant countries. Coal in transit should not be included. Covers those quantities delivered to ships of all flags that are engaged in international navigation. The international navigation may take place at sea, on inland lakes and waterways, and in coastal waters. Consumption by ships engaged in domestic navigation is excluded. The domestic/international split is determined on the basis of port of departure and port of arrival, and not by the flag or nationality of the ship. Consumption by fishing vessels and by military forces is also excluded. See domestic navigation, fishing and other non-specified. Includes deliveries of aviation fuels to aircraft for international aviation. Fuels used by airlines for their road vehicles are excluded. The domestic/international split should be determined on the basis of departure and landing locations and not by the nationality of the airline. For many countries this incorrectly excludes fuel used by domestically owned carriers for their international departures.

Supply
Flow Stock changes Short name STOCKCHA Definition Reflects the difference between opening stock levels on the first day of the year and closing levels on the last day of the year of stocks on national territory held by producers, importers, energy transformation industries and large consumers. A stock build is shown as a negative number, and a stock draw as a positive number. Total primary energy supply (TPES) is made up of production + imports - exports - international marine bunkers - international aviation bunkers stock changes. Comprises interproduct transfers, products transferred and recycled products. Interproduct transfers results from reclassification of products either because their specification has changed or because they are blended into another product, e.g. kerosene may be reclassified as gasoil after blending with the latter in order to meet its winter diesel specification. The net balance of interproduct transfers is zero. Products transferred is intended for oil products imported for further processing in refineries. For example, fuel oil imported for upgrading in a refinery is transferred to the feedstocks category. Recycled products are finished products which pass a second time through the marketing network, after having been once delivered to final consumers (e.g. used lubricants which are reprocessed). Includes the sum of the unexplained statistical differences for individual fuels, as they appear in the basic energy statistics. It also includes the statistical differences that arise because of the variety of conversion factors in the coal and oil columns.

Transformation processes
Flow Transformation processes Short name TOTTRANF Definition Transformation processes comprises the conversion of primary forms of energy to secondary and further transformation (e.g. coking coal to coke, crude oil to oil products, and fuel oil to electricity). Inputs to transformation processes are shown as negative numbers and output from the process is shown as a positive number. Transformation losses will appear in the total column as negative numbers. Refers to plants which are designed to produce electricity only. If one or more units of the plant is a CHP unit (and the inputs and outputs can not be distinguished on a unit basis) then the whole plant is designated as a CHP plant. Main activity producers generate electricity for sale to third parties, as their primary activity. They may be privately or publicly owned. Note that the sale need not take place through the public grid. Refers to plants which are designed to produce electricity only. If one or more units of the plant is a CHP unit (and the inputs and outputs can not be distinguished on a unit basis) then the whole plant is designated as a CHP plant.

TBOILER TELE

TBLASTFUR

Includes the production of town gas, blast furnace gas and oxygen steel furnace gas. The production of pig-iron from iron ore in blast furnaces uses fuels for supporting the blast furnace charge and providing heat and carbon for the reduction of the iron ore. Accounting for the calorific content of the fuels entering the process is a complex matter as transformation (into blast furnace gas) and consumption (heat of combustion) occur simultaneously. Some carbon is also retained in the pig-iron; almost all of this reappears later in the oxygen steel furnace gas (or converter gas) when the pig-iron is converted to steel. In the 1992/1993 annual questionnaires, Member Countries were asked for the first time to report in transformation processes the quantities of all fuels (e.g. pulverised coal injection [PCI] coal, coke oven coke, natural gas and oil) entering blast furnaces and the quantity of blast furnace gas and oxygen steel furnace gas produced. The Secretariat then needed to split these inputs into the transformation and consumption components. The transformation component is shown in the row blast furnaces in the column appropriate for the fuel, and the consumption component is shown in the row iron and steel, in the column appropriate for the fuel. The Secretariat decided to assume a transformation efficiency such that the carbon input into the blast furnaces should equal the carbon output. This is roughly equivalent to assuming an energy transformation efficiency of 40%. Includes the manufacture of town gas. Note: in the summary balances this item also includes other gases blended with natural gas (TBLENDGAS).

7. COUNTRY NOTES
In many cases data submitted by Member countries to the Secretariat do not conform to the standard reporting methodology or have other particular characteristics. Information set out below will assist readers to interpret data for particular countries and aid in the comparison of data among countries. 20042004 and lignite usage for power generation ceased in 2006. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

Belgium
Sub-bituminous coal data refer to recovered coal products. Production of other bituminous coal ceased on 31 August 1992. Production includes the recuperation of coal from coal dumps. The use of coke oven gas in the chemical and petrochemical sector ceased in 1996. The decrease of bituminous coal and coke oven coke in the iron and steel sector in 2002 is due to the closure of several plants. Sub-bituminous coal is included in steam coal.

Australia
All data refer to the fiscal year, (e.g. July 2007 to June 2008 for 2008). For the 2002 data, the Australian Administration has started to use a new survey methodology which has caused shifts in the structure of industry consumption. The Australian Administration is planning to revise the historical series. Data on blast furnace gas for electricity production by autoproducers begins in 1986. Consumption in wood and wood products is included in paper, pulp and print from 2001 onwards. The drop in BKB production in 2004 was due to a fire in the main production plant. Domestic production and consumption of anthracite is reported as bituminous coal. Sub-bituminous coal is included in steam coal.

Canada
Due to the unavailability of data, non-energy use of coke oven coke and hard coal is included with final consumption sectors prior to 1978 and 1980 respectively. Before 1978, lignite inputs to main activity producer heat plants are included in final consumption. Starting in 1979, these inputs are included in main activity producer electricity plants. Due to a Canadian confidentiality law, it is not possible for the Canadian Administration to submit disaggregated series for all of the coal types. Between 2002 and 2006, the IEA Secretariat has estimated some of the missing series. The data for 2007 onwards are given directly as reported. The Canadian Administration is planning to further refine its reporting. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

Austria
Historical revisions by the Austrian Administration have resulted in some breaks in series between 1989 and 1990. Other bituminous coal includes hard coal briquettes. "Trockenkohle" is included with BKB because of its high calorific value. Since 1994, gas works gas is reported with natural gas because it is distributed in the same network. The amount of gas works gas is negligible and it is mostly consumed by households. The last lignite mine closed in the second quarter of

42 - COAL INFORMATION (2010 edition)

Czech Republic
Data are available starting in 1971. Final consumption data were submitted by the Czech Administration starting with 1996 data. Due to economic restructuring in the consumption sectors in the late 1990s (big state enterprises subdividing and/or privatising and the utilisation of new technologies by businesses), there might be breaks in time series in these sectors. Prior to 1993, consumption was estimated by the Secretariat. Data for 1990 to 1995 were estimated based on the Czech publication Energy Economy Year Book. In 1995, town gas production ceased. Beginning in 1996, the Czech Administration reported gas works gas in autoproducer CHP. In 1997, coke oven gas consumption in chemical and petrochemical stopped. Also in 1997, other bituminous coal started being extracted at a deeper level, which increased the calorific value of this coal. Revisions by the Czech Administration have resulted in some breaks in series between 2001 and 2002. Production from other sources of other bituminous coal in 2004 is coal slurries. Sub-bituminous coal is included in other bituminous coal. What was previously classified as subbituminous coal until the 2008 edition is reported under lignite for all years.

age especially in electricity, CHP and heat production, as well as in industry. A large increase of steam coal imports in 2003 is related to a draught in Scandinavia. Thermal power plants were operated more intensively to replace hydro-generated electricity that is consumed in the country. Additionally, more coal-generated electricity was exported to other countries in the region. Likewise, peat production is highly dependant upon favourable weather conditions and pricing of other fuels. The decrease in peat and other bituminous coal usage in main activity electricity plants was due to record electricity generation from hydro plants. The first coking plant started operation in 1987, hence imports of coking coal and production of coke oven coke and coke oven gas started in that year. Coal Tars used for non-energy purposes are not reported in production, exports or consumption. The increase of other bituminous coal inputs into main activity producer electricity plants from 1993 to 1994 was due to coal replacing imported electricity and hydro power. Production of gas works gas ceased in April 1994. Sub-bituminous coal is included in steam coal.

France
Prior to 1985, consumption of colliery gas is included with the use of coke oven gas by autoproducers. Final consumption in industry is estimated by the Secretariat from 1986 to 2001 for some products. For 1989 to 1998, the Secretariat has estimated industry consumption based on Consommations dEnergie dans lIndustrie, SESSI. BKB data for 1994 are Secretariat estimates. Sub-bituminous coal is included in steam coal.

Denmark
In the 2004 edition, major revisions were made by the Danish Administration for the 1990 to 2001 data, which may cause breaks in time series between 1989 and 1990. A large increase of steam coal imports in 2003 is related to a draught in Scandinavia. Thermal power plants were operated more intensively to replace hydro-generated electricity that is consumed in the country. Additionally, more coal-generated electricity was exported to other countries in the region. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

Germany
German data include the new federal states of Germany from 1970 onwards. Figures for quantities used for non-energy purposes became available from 1970. Prior to this, non-energy uses are included with consumption in the respective final consumption sectors. Due to reclassification of several sectors by the German Administration, breaks in series may occur between 1990 and 1992; this particularly affects BKB, lignite and coke oven coke. BKB inputs to gas works plants stopped in 1997.

Finland
A new survey system and a reclassification of the data lead to breaks in the time series between 1999 and 2000 for most products and sectors. The new survey system is more detailed and has better product cover-

COAL INFORMATION (2010 edition) - 43

Breaks in series may occur between 1998 and 1999 for coke oven gas and blast furnace gas. Up to 2003, other bituminous coal includes anthracite. Breaks in the series for coke oven gas from 2007 are due to a change in statistical source. Consumption of non renewable municipal waste and other solid biomass as a reductant occurs in German blast furnaces, but is not currently quantified. Likewise, coal tar is a by-product of coke ovens, but not currently reported. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

Ireland
Production data for peat briquettes (reported as BKB) are available from 1975. Low production of peat in 1985 was due to a poor harvest. The production of gas works gas ceased in 1987 due to fuel switching to natural gas. Other bituminous coal inputs to main activity producer electricity plants increased from 1986 due to three new generating units at Moneypoint coming on-line. A reclassification causes a break in the series for own use of peat from 1989 to 1990. Patent fuel data from 2007 is confidential. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

Greece
Electricity production using hard coal ceased in 1989. A new main activity producer electricity plant using imported bituminous coal was brought on-line in 1991. Production of gas works gas ceased in 1997. Lignite is used in main activity producer CHP plants since 1997. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

Italy
From 2000 onwards, the Italian Administration defines electricity production from autoproducers as including generation from producers consuming more than 70% of their own production. However for the 2000 to 2002 period, all electricity production from autoproducers is reported with main activity producers. From 1986 onwards, figures from lignite are given using the same methodology as in the Bilancio Energetico Nazionale. In 1991, all industrial activities were reclassified on the basis of ISTAT/NACE 91. This has implied some transfers of activities which may result in some anomalies between 1991 and earlier years. Due to a change in the survey system, breaks in series may occur between 1997 and 1998 for final consumption. From 2000 onwards, the Italian Administration defines electricity production from autoproducers as including generation from producers consuming more than 70% of their own production. Some oxygen steel furnace gas is reported under blast furnace gas for 2007 and 2008. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

Hungary
Data are available from 1965. Due to sale of an autoproducer power plant, breaks in series occur for coke oven gas and blast furnace gas between 1997 and 1998. From 1999, the production of sub-bituminous coal has been included with lignite/ brown coal due to the low quality of the coal. The use of this domestic coal in main activity producer electricity and CHP plants has also been reclassified to lignite/brown coal. The time series for coke oven coke transformed into blast furnace gas and consumed for energy purposes in the iron and steel industry have been adjusted by the IEA using standard modeling. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

Iceland
Prior to 1970, final consumption includes inputs and outputs to heat production. The industrial classifications used by the Icelandic Administration were changed in 1987. Final consumption increased in 2000 due to a new iron and steel plant coming on-line. Icelandic data for 2008 and 2009e was estimated by the Secretariat in the 2010 edition. Sub-bituminous coal is included in steam coal.

Japan
For four consecutive years, the IEA received revisions from the Japanese Administration. The first set of revisions received in 2004 increased the 1990 supply by 5% for coal, 2% for natural gas and 0.7% for oil compared to the previous data. This led to an increase of 2.5% in 1990 CO2 emissions calculated using the reference approach while the sectoral approach remained fairly constant. For the 2006 edition, the IEA received

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY

44 - COAL INFORMATION (2010 edition)

revisions to the coal and oil data which have had a significant impact on both the energy data and the CO2 emissions. The most significant revisions occurred for coke oven coke, naphtha, blast furnace gas and petroleum coke. These revisions affected consumption rather than supply in the years concerned. As a result, the sectoral approach CO2 emissions have increased for all the years, however at different rates. For example, the sectoral approach CO2 emissions for 1990 were 4.6% higher than those calculated for the 2005 edition while the 2003 emissions were 1.1% higher than those of the previous edition. Due to the impact these successive revisions have had on the final energy balance as well as on CO2 emissions, the IEA was in close contact with the Japanese Administration to better understand the reasons behind these changes. These changes were mainly due to the Government of Japan's efforts to improve the input-output balances in the production of oil products and coal products in response to inquiries from the UNFCCC Secretariat. To cope with this issue, the Japanese Administration established a working group in March 2004. The working group completed its work in April 2006. Many of its conclusions were incorporated in the 2006 edition, but some further revisions to the time series (especially in the industry and other sectors) were submitted for the 2007 edition. Starting in 1990, data are reported on a fiscal year basis (e.g. April 2008 to March 2009 for 2008). From 1982, residential use of coke oven coke is included in commercial/public services sector. Oxygen steel furnace gas data are available from 1982. From 1998, inputs of coke oven gas, blast furnace gas and oxygen steel furnace gas into autoproducer electricity plants include the amount used to produce electricity with TRT technology (top pressure recovery turbines) which was previously included in the industry sector. Starting in 1990, the inputs of coke oven coke to blast furnaces as well as the final consumption of coke oven coke in the iron and steel sector have been estimated by the IEA Secretariat. Coal injected in blast furnaces (PCI) is classified as coking coal in order to be consistent with Japanese trade statistics. With the 2008 edition, Japan has reclassified part of the coal inputs to coke ovens as inputs to blast furnaces. In the 2010 edition, the net calorific values for coal have been recalculated by the IEA secretariat based upon gross values submitted by Japan and conversion factors used by the IEA. Asymmetric statistical differ-

ences in hard coal since 2004 are primarily due to deliberate stock build by final consumers. Sub-bituminous coal is included in steam coal.

Korea
Data are available from 1971. Data for 2002 have been reported on a different basis, causing breaks in series between 2001 and 2002, especially for inputs and outputs to electricity generation and consumption in the iron and steel industry. The Korean Administration is planning to revise the historical series as time and resources permit. Data for coal and coal products from 1971 to 2001 are based on information provided by the Korean Administration, as well as information from the Yearbook of Energy Statistics 2002, the Yearbook of Coal Statistics 2001 (both from the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy), and Statistics of Electric Power in Korea 2001 (from the Korea Electric Power Corporation). Patent fuel series have been estimated by the Secretariat up to 2001. Data on sub-bituminous coal were estimated by the Secretariat based on statistics of the exporting countries. Coal tar production exists prior to 2007, however data is yet to be finalised. Consumption of imported coke oven coke is reported under non-specified industry. Coke oven gas and blast furnace gas used for energy purposes in coke ovens prior to 2002 and in blast furnaces prior to 2007 are reported in the iron and steel industry. Sub-bituminous coal is included in steam coal.

Luxembourg
Steel production from blast furnaces ceased at the end of 1997 and as a consequence, Luxembourg no longer uses coke oven coke and blast furnace gas. Some import data is unavoidably attributed to the penultimate country of transit rather than the country of origin. Sub-bituminous coal is included in steam coal.

Mexico
Data are available starting in 1971 and are partly estimated based on the publication Balance Nacional Energa. The Mexican Administration submitted data directly by questionnaire for the first time with 1992

coke oven gas as a by-product of pyrolysis in the multi-hearth-furnace, and as blast furnace gas obtained from the kilns and melters. Import origins and export destinations are derived from partner reports. Sub-bituminous coal is included in steam coal.

Netherlands Poland
In the national statistical system of the Netherlands, use of fuel in manufacturing industries for CHP production is considered to be consumption in the transformation sector. However, in IEA statistics, this own use for heat production (autoproduced heat) is reported under the relevant industry sub-sector, based on estimates provided by the Central Bureau of Statistics. For 1984 to 1986, production from other sources of other bituminous coal represents a stock of "smalls" washed for re-use. Prior to 1989, non-energy use is included with industry consumption. Paper, pulp and print includes furniture. Coal exports consist of re-exported volumes after blending. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

Norway
Production of coking coal, coke oven coke and coke oven gas ceased in the late 1980s. Other bituminous coal includes lignite. The decrease of bituminous coal production in 2005 is due to a fire in one of the coal mines, that entailed a break in the production for a large part of the year. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

Portugal
Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal. Since 1998, sub-bituminous coal is not used. As of 2000, gas works gas in the commercial/public services and residential sectors is gradually being replaced by natural gas. The iron and steel industry closed in the first quarter of 2001, leading to decreases in supply and consumption of coking coal, coke oven coke, coke oven gas and blast furnace gas. Sub-bituminous coal is included in steam coal.

New Zealand
Where data refer to the fiscal year, April 2008 to March 2009 is shown as 2008. A reorganisation of government departments during 1987 leading to cessation of certain data series has resulted in several breaks in series between 1987 and 1988. Production of gas works gas ceased in 1988. Peat, although produced in New Zealand, is not used as a fuel. It is used for agricultural purposes only. In final consumption, some industry data are reported in nonspecified industry for confidentiality reasons; mining and quarrying is included in agriculture and construction is included with commercial/public services. Until 2001, sub-bituminous coal inputs into autoproducer CHP refers to coal that is merged with ironsands and limestone to form the inputs for the multi-hearthfurnaces, kilns and melters to produce direct reduced iron (Glenbrook Steel Site). Off-gases then drive the CHP plants. From 2002, these data, are reported as

Slovak Republic
Data are available starting in 1971. There are some breaks in series between 1992 and 1993. A new survey system in 2001 leads to major breaks in series for most products. Data in the Commercial and Public Services Sector includes national statistical differences. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

Spain
Other bituminous coal use in the iron and steel industry ceased in 1991 and started again in 1996. Consumption of BKB also ended in 1991. Consumption of blast furnace gas in the chemical industry stopped in

1993 while chemical industry use of coke oven gas ceased between 1993 and 2000. Natural gas inputs into gas works gas stopped in 1999. Lignite mining was halted indefinitely in 2008. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

coal used in cement kilns is reported under construction instead of non-metallic minerals in 2008. Historical data may be revised to fit new understanding in future issues. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

Sweden
Other bituminous coal production is coal recovered during the quarrying of clay. Autoproducer inputs to waste heat production that is sold are reported in the respective end-use sectors and not in the transformation sector. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

United Kingdom
Consumption shown for the commercial/public services sector includes consumption of some of the nonspecified sector. Prior to 1994, the consumption of substitute natural gas is included with natural gas while its production is included with gas works gas. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

Switzerland
From 1999, data on consumption result from a new survey and are not comparable with data of previous years. Allocation of consumption data between certain coal types is estimated by the Swiss Administration, as are calorific values. From 1985, industrial consumption of gas works gas is reported in non-specified industry to prevent the disclosure of commercially confidential data. Data between 1990 and 2007 were revised for coke oven coke and other bituminous coal in the 2010 Edition. The breaks in consumption time series since 2006 are due to an improved consumer survey. Sub-bituminous coal is included in brown coal.

United States
United States includes the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Imports and exports also include all U.S. territories (i.e. Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands and the Hawaiian Trade Zone). Due to problems in reporting, there are numerous breaks in series for the U.S. data, particularly in 1992, 1999, 2001 and 2002. Care should be taken when evaluating consumption by sector since inputs of fuel to autoproducers are included in final consumption for some years. Gas works gas production and consumption is included with natural gas starting in 1974. For the period 2002 to 2007, the United States reported "synfuel" production as patent fuel. Prior to 2002, the consumption of this fuel was reported with other bituminous coal. Since the Energy Information Administration and the US Department of Commerce do not collect separate data on patent fuel exports by country, total exports of patent fuel are included in the exports of other bituminous coal. Production ceased in 2007 for economic reasons. Coal tar as a by-product of coke ovens is not currently reported. Sub-bituminous coal is included in steam coal.

Turkey
Production of gas works gas declined in 1989 due to plant closures; the last plant closed in 1994. Use of gas coke and gas works gas ceased in 1994. Due to government regulations in the industry and residential sectors in particular, there has been a shift from the use of domestically produced coal to imported coal and natural gas. Privatisation of state owned coke ovens in recent years results in incomplete information on coke oven gas distribution. 2008 data is provided from the results of an improved questionnaire. Significant changes occur in consumption patterns within the iron and steel industry and coal mining. This also occurs across industry, residential and commercial and public services for other bituminous coal. Some

8. PRINCIPLES AND DEFINITIONS


General notes
Energy data for OECD countries in IEA Secretariat databases begin in 1960 with the following exceptions for coal: for Hungary data begin in 1965, and for the Czech Republic, Korea, Mexico and the Slovak Republic data are available from 1971. Prior to 1970, German statistics refer to the former Federal Republic of Germany. Data from 1970 include the new federal states of Germany. The fuels listed as Solar, wind, tide include wave and ocean, unless otherwise noted. Energy flows data reported for 2009 (shown as 2009e) are preliminary estimates based on the submissions received in early 2010 and on quarterly submissions to the IEA from member countries. Statistics of non-OECD countries presented in this publication are based on available data at time of publishing and may differ from the final non-OECD data to be published in Energy Statistics of Non-OECD Countries. Additional information on methodologies and reporting conventions are included in the notes in Energy Balances of OECD Countries 2010 Edition and Energy Statistics of OECD Countries 2010 Edition. explanation of a value there (for example we can not show unit price if there was no trade or if the consumption in the country is forbidden).

Revisions to blast furnace coke and PCI data


Data on coke used and pulverised coal injected in the blast furnace (PCI) are harmonized for all OECD countries in order to ensure that steam and coking coal consumption data are consistently presented and that comparisons between countries for consumption are meaningful. The main effect of these revisions has been to revise the reported consumption of coal in the iron and steel industry. It should be noted that in IEA statistics of coal trade and consumption, PCI is not separately specified; rather it is included with steam coal for all countries (except Japan). This classification is based on the fact that most PCI coal is of a steam coal quality and not coking coal quality. For Japan, PCI consumption is reported in this book as a coking coal in order to be consistent with the Japanese practice of including imports of PCI coal with coking coal.

Data sources Historical data (1960-2008)


The annual historical in Part III of this report are taken from the IEA/OECD databases of energy statistics which are based on annual submissions from all OECD Member countries.

This annual database integrates data from the four IEA/OECD statistical database systems listed above to provide a summary of energy supply and demand for each OECD country. It includes detailed statistics on production, trade and consumption for each source of energy, expressed in original units (e.g. metric tons TJ, GWh).

Preliminary 2009 data - 2009e


Data reported for the year 2009 in this publication are preliminary and presented as 2009e. Final 2009 data on solid fuels and manufactured gases will be submitted by OECD Member countries to the Secretariat in annual questionnaires in late 2010. As a result, final

COAL INFORMATION (2010 edition) - 49

data for 2009 and preliminary 2010 data will be published in the 2011 edition of Coal Information in July 2011, and some data will be pre-released in April 2011. Selected coal data for 2009 for some non-OECD countries have been estimated by the Secretariat.

In this report some data are reported in terms of tonnes of coal equivalent (tce) because this unit is more widely used in the international coal industry. A tonne of coal equivalent is defined as 7 million kilocalories. The relation between tonne of oil equivalent (toe) and tonne of coal equivalent (tce) is therefore: 1 tce = 0.7 toe Note that billion refers to thousand million (109). Also, in many cases totals shown in the tables may not be the sum of their components due to independent rounding.

Units and conversions Conversion (to toe)


All units in this publication are metric units. Most IEA/OECD publications showing inter-fuel relations and projections present such information in a common energy unit, the ton of oil equivalent (toe). A ton of oil equivalent is defined as 107 kcal (41.868 GJ), a convenient measure because it is approximately the net heat content of one ton of average crude oil. Conversion from native units to tonnes of oil equivalent requires choosing coefficients of equivalence between different forms and sources of energy. Adopting a single equivalence for each major primary energy source in all countries, e.g. 29 307 kJ/kg (7 000 kcal/kg) for hard coal, 41 868 kJ/kg (10 000 kcal/kg) for oil, etc is flawed because it results in distortions due to a wide spread in calorific values between types of coal and individual coal products from country to country and purpose to purpose. The Secretariat has therefore obtained specific calorific factors supplied by the national administrations for the main categories of each quality of coal and for each flow or use (i.e. production, imports, exports, electricity generation, coke ovens, blast furnaces and industry). The set of particular national calorific values that allow for the conversion of energy sources from original (physical) units to megajoules are presented in the tables on page 53. The balances are expressed in terms of net calorific value. The difference between net and gross being the latent heat of vaporisation of the water produced during combustion of the fuel. For coal and oil, net calorific value is usually around 5 per cent less than gross and for most forms of natural and manufactured gas the difference is 9-10 per cent. The use of net calorific value is consistent with the practice of the Statistical Offices of the European Communities and the United Nations.

Factors related to specific fuels


Crude oil
A single net calorific value is used by the IEA for each Member Country; these values are shown in the tables in the IEA/OECD publication Energy Balances of OECD Countries. These are average conversion factors, with the same factor used to convert production, imports, and exports as well as all consumption.

Petroleum products
Up until last year, petroleum products were converted using a single set of net calorific values for all countries. Last year the IEA instigated regional conversion factors (in conjunction with Eurostat for the European countries) for the petroleum products. The net calorific values shown below are used per regional split for all countries and all years.

1 terajoule = 0.00002388 Mtoe. To calculate the net heat content of a gas from its gross heat content, multiply the gross heat content by the appropriate following factor:
Natural gas Gas works gas Coke oven gas Blast furnace gas Oxygen steel furnace gas 0.9 0.9 0.9 1.0 1.0

Electricity
Figures for electricity production, trade, and final consumption are calculated using the energy content of the electricity, i.e. at a rate of 1 TWh = 0.086 Mtoe. Hydro-electricity production (excluding pumped storage) and electricity produced by other non-thermal means (wind, tide, photovoltaic, etc.), are accounted for similarly using 1 TWh = 0.086 Mtoe. However, the primary energy equivalent of nuclear electricity is calculated from the gross generation by assuming a 33% efficiency, i.e. 1 TWh = (0.086 0.33) Mtoe. In the case of electricity produced from geothermal heat the primary equivalent is calculated assuming an efficiency of 10%, so 1 TWh = (0.086 0.1) Mtoe, unless the actual value is known.

Coal
Separate net calorific values for coal production, imports, exports, inputs to power plants, coal used in coke ovens, coal used in blast furnaces, coal used in industry and coal other uses are submitted annually by national administrations to the Secretariat. Conversion factors for average net calorific value for each OECD member country for 2008 are shown in the table on page 53.

Heat
Information on heat is supplied to the Secretariat in terajoules.

Other fuels
The net heat content of other fuels, expressed in terajoules, is also supplied to the Secretariat by administrations. The Secretariat receives information on volumes and other characteristics only for certain aggregates of these fuels.

Gas
In the IEA/OECD publication Energy Statistics of OECD Countries all data on gases are expressed in terajoules, on the basis of their gross calorific value.

Coal Classification
The IEA collects statistics on coal production, trade and consumption according to a technically precise classification based on the quality of coal as follows: Coking Coal is coal with a quality that allows the production of coke suitable to support a blast furnace charge; Other Bituminous Coal and Anthracite are non-agglomerating coals with a gross calorific value greater than 23 865 kJ/kg (5 700 kcal/kg) on an ash-free but moist basis; Sub-bituminous Coal is a non-agglomerating coal with a gross calorific value between 23 865 kJ/kg (5 700 kcal/kg) and 17 435 kJ/kg (4 165 kcal/kg) containing more than 31% volatile matter on a dry mineral matter-free basis; Lignite/Brown Coal is a non-agglomerating coal with a gross calorific value less than 17 435 kJ/kg (4 165 kcal/kg) and greater than 31% volatile matter on a dry mineral matter-free basis. Oil Shale combusted directly is reported in this category.

However, when publishing these data, the IEA adopts a simplified classification of Hard Coal and Brown Coal. The correspondence is as follows: Hard Coal: this is the sum of Coking Coal and Steam Coal; Coking coal is reported in the category Coking Coal; Other Bituminous Coal and Anthracite are reported in the category Steam Coal; Sub-bituminous Coal is reported in the category Brown Coal except for: Australia, Belgium, Finland, France, Iceland, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal, South Korea (Republic of Korea) and the United States where it is included in Steam Coal (because of its relatively high calorific value); Lignite is reported in the category Brown Coal. The term Total Coal refers to the sum of Hard Coal and Brown Coal after conversion to a common energy unit (tonne of coal equivalent - tce). The conversion is done by multiplying the calorific value of the coal in question (the conversion factors are submitted by national Administrations to the IEA Secretariat each year) by the total volume of hard and brown coal used, measured in physical units, i.e. in tonnes. One tce has an energy content of 29.3 gigajoules (GJ) or 7 000 kcal and corresponds to 0.7 tonnes of oil equivalent (toe).

Defining Coal Consumption


Energy statistics are compiled and presented to take account of the complexity in the way fuels are used and to avoid double counting. Misunderstandings can arise when statistics on coal consumption are used because of the particular terminology used by energy statisticians. Coal is used in four possible ways: As a primary input to produce electricity or a secondary/tertiary fuel that is used elsewhere or sold - this is referred to as use in the Transformation Sector; e.g. coking coal used to produce coke in a coke oven, steam coal used to produce electricity As a fuel used to support (but not used in) a transformation process - this is referred to as use in the Energy Sector; e.g. coke oven gas used to heat the coke oven, steam coal used to operate the power plant As a fuel consumed in manufacturing industry, mining and construction, in transport, in agriculture, in commercial and public services and in households - this is referred to as use in the Final Consumption Sectors; e.g. steam coal used to produce heat in cement kilns, steam coal used to produce industrial process steam As a raw material - this is referred to as non-energy use. e.g. coal used to produce carbon electrodes for the aluminium industry

In the wider community, the term Consumption is commonly understood to include all four of the above end-uses. However, in this book the term Consumption refers only to use in the Final Consumption Sectors (i.e. in the third dot point above).
