Coal Combustion Technologies ### 2.1 Coal demand and coal reserves worldwide During the last three decades, primary energy consumption has increased worldwide by about 70% (Figure 2.1), reaching 11 gigatonnes oil equivalent (Gtoe) at the end of 2009. There was a fast increase in oil and natural gas consumption, with shares of total consumption at 35% and 25%, respectively. After some stagnation up to 2002, coal consumption in the world in 2009 increased rapidly for the seventh consecutive year. Global consumption rose 4.5%, a rate above the 10-year average of 3.2%. Consumption growth was widespread, but the sharp increase in coal consumption after 2002 is related mainly to the increased coal consumption in China. After growing at an average rate of 3% per year from 1990 to 2001, China's coal consumption on average increased 17% per year from 2002 to 2005. As a result, coal usage in China has nearly doubled since 2000, and, given the country's rapidly expanding economy and large domestic coal deposits, its demand for coal is projected to continue growing strongly.
