Coal in Europe describes coal as energy fuel in Europe today. Coal includes hard coal, brown coal, and lignite. Coal production in Europe is falling, and imports exceed production. If production and consumption continue at the present rate, proven and economically recoverable world reserves would last for about 150 years. According to IEA Coal Information (2007) world production and use of coal have increased considerably in recent years.〔Energy in Sweden 2008 (pdf)〕 There is, however, growing controversy in Europe over the use of coal, as many denounce it for reasons such as health risks and links to global warming. ==Coal supply in the EU == IEA reports the EU 27 data since 1990. EU supply of coal as fuel has reduced from 1990 value of 5,250 TWh to 2009 as 3,135 TWh. The share of own local coal emissions of EU of the world were 14% in 2000 and 9% in 2008. The coal use in the EU reduced in eight years to 95% and increased in the world to 142% compared to year 2000. In addition to own direct coal use, coal is also consumed via imported goods. In 2009 coal supply in the EU:〔( Energy in Sweden 2010, Facts and figures Table 52 Global supply of coal, 1990–2009 (TWh) )〕 * 1990 – 5,250 TWh * 1995 – 4203 TWh * 2000 – 3,700 TWh * 2003 – 3,794 TWh * 2006 – 3,739 TWh * 2007 – 3,779 TWh * 2008 – 3,499 TWh *2009 – 3,135 TWh 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coal in Europe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
