Country aggregates for OECD Total, OECD Americas, OECD Asia Oceania, OECD Europe and IEA are also included. Statistics are available for detailed supply/demand balances, end-use consumption, trade by origin and destination as well as for calorific values. World supply data is also available.

Coal imports and exports, OECD and selected countries

Import and export data by country of origin for OECD member states and selected countries from 1978 to 2022. Products: anthracite, coking coal, other bituminous coal, sub-bituminous coal, lignite, patent fuel, coke oven coke, gas coke, coal tar, BKB, gas works gas, coke oven gas, blast furnace gas, other recovered gases, peat, and peat products.
