In 2023, South Africa dominated global coal support for residential use at 911.81 million USD, marking a 7.53% year-on-year increase. Ukraine and China followed at 131.29 million USD and 80.55 million USD, respectively, with China showing an 8.61% growth, contrasting Ukraine’s decline of 2.2%. The United Kingdom, South Korea, and Canada witnessed declines, with the most significant drops in Canada at 14.45% and South Korea at 11.92%. Over the past five years, South Africa and China have sustained a strong growth trajectory, while most European countries and Canada have reduced support.
Future trends to monitor include the potential continuation of diverging approaches between countries with high coal dependency, like South Africa, and those transitioning toward cleaner energy, as indicated by declining support in Europe and North America. The pace of these shifts may be influenced by global energy policies, technological advancements in renewable energy, and geopolitical scenarios impacting energy security. Additionally, while China shows growth, policy changes may alter its trajectory in aligning with global environmental commitments.
