CHANGES FROM LAST EDITION In the 2019 edition of this online data service the default data display is figures rounded to zero decimal places. However, from 2017 data onwards, further detail, up to the three decimal place level, is available where reported by the national administrations, upon selecting View > Decimals in the Menu bar. Please note that the constituent data summed to produce regional and flow aggregates may be reported at differing levels of precision. Therefore, care should be taken when using data for aggregated flows beyond the level of 0 decimal places. Data up to and including 2016 have been rounded to 0 decimal places. Please note that this may result in some rounding errors when comparing values for aggregates to the sum of their constituents. The file Coal Balance OECD retains 4 decimals throughout the time series. Note: Periods (.) are used to separate decimal places. Moreover, in the 2019 edition the list of import origins and export destinations was expanded. As a result quanti- ties may no longer appear in the other non-OECD geographical aggregates. Geographical coverage: Lithuania became the 36th OECD Member country in July 2018. Accordingly, Lithuania appears in the list of OECD Members and is included in the OECD zone aggregates for data starting in 1990. Prior to 1990, data for Lithuania are included in Former Soviet Union. From 2011 data onwards, France now includes Monaco, and the following overseas departments (Guadeloupe; French Guiana; Martinique; Mayotte; and Réunion); and excludes the overseas collectivities (New Caledonia; French Polynesia; Saint Barthélemy; Saint Martin; Saint Pierre and Miquelon; and Wallis and Futuna). Prior to 2011, France includes Monaco and excludes the following overseas departments and territories: Guadeloupe; French Guiana; Martinique; Mayotte and Réunion; New Caledonia; French Polynesia; Saint Barthélemy; Saint Martin; Saint Pierre and Miquelon; and Wallis and Futuna. South Africa joined as an Association country in November 2018. Accordingly, South Africa is now included in the IEA and Accession/Association countries aggregate in in the file Coal World Supply. The country previously known as Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has been renamed as Republic of North Macedonia.

DATABASE STRUCTURE The database Coal information contains six files with the following annual data. OECD files (updated August 2019) Countries: 36 OECD countries and 5 regional aggregates (see section Geographical coverage); Years: 1960-2018 (OECD countries and regions unless otherwise specified.); 1978-2018 (OECD Imports and Exports to partner countries) Coal Balance OECD.ivt OECD, Coal Balance. (ktoe, ktce, TJ, Tcal) Full balance data for different types of coal and coal products, including manufactured gases. (17 products + 4 agrgregates; 95 flows; 36 countries + 5 aggregates) Coal NCV OECD.ivt OECD, Coal Net Calorific Values. (MJ/tonne) The calorific values used to convert physical tonnes of coal and coal products into energy for the OECD Coal Balance data. (13 products + 2 aggregates; 14 flows; 36 countries). The aggregates, hard coal and brown coal, are included for years prior to 1978 only. Coal Statistics OECD.ivt OECD, Coal Supply and Consumption with Full OECD 2017 Data. (kt, TJ) Supply and consumption statistics for different types of coal and coal products, including manufactured gases. (17 products + 3 aggregates; 100 flows; 36 countries + 5 aggregates). The aggregates hard coal, brown coal and steam coal are also included. Coal Exports.ivt OECD, Exports by Destination. (kt) Detailed coal export data by country of destination for OECD member states. (11 products + 3 aggregates; 164 flows; 36 countries + 5 aggregates) Coal Imports.ivt OECD, Imports by Origin. (kt) Detailed coal import data by country of origin for OECD member states. (11 products + 3 aggregates; 164 flows; 36 countries + 5 aggregates) INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY 6 - COAL INFORMATION: DATABASE DOCUMENTATION (2019 edition) WORLD files (last updated August 2019) Countries: 172 countries and regional aggregates (see section Geographical coverage); Years: 1960-2017 (OECD countries and regions unless otherwise specified.); 1978-2016 (OECD Imports and Exports to partner countries) 1971-2017 (non-OECD countries and regions; world unless otherwise specified.); 2018 (provisional energy supply data). Coal World Supply.ivt World Coal Supply (kt, TJ) World supply statistics for different types of coal and coal products, including manufactured gases.(17 products + 3 aggregates; 12 flows; 145 countries + 27 aggregates) Data for 2018 are based on the official mini-questionnaire submissions of countries. However, some data have been estimated by the IEA secretariat. INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY COAL INFORMATION: DATABASE DOCUMENTATION (2019 edition) - 7 3. FLOW DEFINITIONS OECD, Coal Statistics (kt,TJ): COAL STATISTICS OECD.IVT WORLD, World Coal Supply: COAL WORLD SUPPLY.IVT Supply Flow Short name Definition Production INDPROD Refers to the quantities of fuels extracted or produced, calculated after any operation for removal of inert matter or impurities (e.g. sulphur from natural gas). For “other hydrocarbons” (shown with crude oil), production should include synthetic crude oil (including mineral oil extracted from bituminous minerals such as oil shale and tar sands, etc.). Production of secondary oil products represents the gross refinery output. Secondary coal products and gases represent the output from coke ovens, gas works, blast furnaces and other transformation processes. From other sources – OSCOAL Refers to both primary energy that has not been accounted for under coal production and secondary energy that has been accounted for in the production of another fuel. For example, under primary coal: recov- ered slurries, middlings, recuperated coal dust and other low-grade coal products that cannot be classified according to type of coal from which they are obtained; under gas works gas: natural gas, refinery gas, and LPG, that are treated or mixed in gas works (i.e. gas works gas produced from sources other than coal). From other sources – OSNATGAS Refers to both primary energy that has not been accounted for under natural gas production and secondary energy that has been accounted for in the production of another fuel. From other sources – oil OSOIL Refers to both primary energy that has not been accounted for under products production and secondary energy that has been accounted for in the production of another fuel. For example, under additives: benzol, alcohol and methanol produced from natural gas; under refinery feedstocks: backflows from the petrochemical industry used as re- finery feedstocks; under “other hydrocarbons” (included with crude oil): liquids obtained from coal liquefaction and GTL plants. INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY 8 - COAL INFORMATION: DATABASE DOCUMENTATION (2019 edition) Supply Flow Short name Definition From other sources – OSRENEW Refers to both primary energy that has not been accounted for under renewables production and secondary energy that has been accounted for in the production of another fuel. From other sources – OSNONSPEC Refers to both primary energy that has not been accounted for under not elsewhere specified production and secondary energy that has been accounted for in the production of another fuel. This flow is used if the source is not known. Imports IMPORTS Comprise the amount of fuels obtained from or supplied to other countries, whether or not there is an economic or customs union between the relevant countries. Coal in transit should not be included. Exports EXPORTS Comprise the amount of fuels obtained from or supplied to other countries, whether or not there
