• It was forecasted that Coal, Natural Gas and Nuclear power will continue to hold their importance as a primary energy sources for electricity generation till 2015.
• Total world power generation demand(P) – 24980 TWh (2015) • A growth from 18,920 TWh in 2006.• Coal-fired power stations increasing their share in total generation from
40% in 2006 to 44% in 2015.
• Gas-fired generation dropping marginally from 20% to 19% in 2015, as a result of higher prices.
• Oil use in power generation continuing to decline from 6% to 4%
• Nuclear power suffering a fall in market share from 15% to 13% in 2015.
• Conversely renewable generation (including hydro) is expected to rise from 18% in 2006 to 20% in 2015

Reasons for Continuation of Coal Use Despite Existing and Future Policies to Mitigate Greenhouse Gas Emission
Coal is plentiful, widely distributed and likely to be available
Coal has consistently outperformed oil and gas on an equivalent-energy basis, and despite a potential cost of carbon, coal is likely to remain the most affordable fuel for power generation in many developing and industrialised countries for several decades.
Coal is considered relatively affordable and has less price volatility compared to oil and gas.
The use of indigenous reserves or the ability to access a well-provided and affordable international market can enhance a country’s energy security and provide affordable reliable power to drive economies and development.
The greatest increase in the demand for coal will be in the developing countries, especially in developing Asia, where reserves are large and low-cost. OECD coal use is likely to grow modestly.

IEO projected that Electric Power Sector will witness a
decline in Coal’s share of total energy consumption for Power
GenerationFrom 43 per cent in 2008
To 37 per cent in 2010

International Coal Trade Growth :21.2 quadrillion Btu in 2009 to
35.2 quadrillion Btu in 2035.
The share of total world coal consumption accounted for by internationally traded coal has increased from 15 percent in 2009 to a steady rate of 17 percent as per IEO projection.
Stability on share of coal trade primarily reflects the ability of the world’s largest coal consumers, China and India, to meet substantial portions of their future coal demand with domestic production.
