Global support for coal in the residential sector varies significantly, with South Africa leading at $70.89 million, followed by Ukraine and China. In 2023, South Africa and China showed notable increases, with year-on-year growth of 7.53% and 8.61%, respectively. Conversely, countries like South Korea and Canada experienced substantial declines, with reductions of 11.92% and 14.45% year-on-year. Over a five-year span, many nations have trended negatively, reflecting a global shift from coal reliance in residential settings.
Looking forward, we anticipate continued decline in coal support as countries strive for energy diversification and carbon reduction. Continued investment in renewable energy is expected, alongside policy shifts promoting sustainable sources.
