In 2023, coal production in Africa stood at 6.01 Exajoules. The forecasted data for 2024-2028 shows a very slight upward trend in coal production: 6.02 Exajoules in 2024, increasing to 6.05 Exajoules by 2028. Year-on-year variation is minimal, with an increase of approximately 0.17% to 0.50% annually. From 2023 to 2028, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is estimated at around 0.13% per year.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of international climate policies, shifts towards renewable energy sources, and economic factors within key coal-producing countries in Africa. These factors could significantly influence the sustainability and growth of coal production beyond the current forecast period.
