China has been the biggest producer as well as consumer of coal in the world for quite some time now. It is also the largest user of coal-generated electricity in the world. However, in a turn of events, the share of coal in the Chinese energy industry witnessed a dramatic decline in 2021, falling by a whopping 55 percent. 

The Chinese coal industry has kept good development trends in recent years. The coal market is in great increase, with the annual output resulting in record-breaking numbers year after year. If Chinese national economy keeps the rapid development trends as the present, there will be great increase of coal output, sales and exports in the coming several years. However, coal’s environmental legacy plagues the country’s industry as China continues to face international pressure to deal with the environmental problems emerging from its abundant coal industry.
