KBC 14: Which country holds the world’s biggest coal reserves?
Australia
China
Russia
USA
Answer: USA
The United States of America is a transcontinental nation with its main geographic centre in North America. It is made up of 326 Indian reservations, five significant unincorporated territories, nine tiny offshore islands, and 50 states. By overall area, it is the third-largest nation. The northern and southern land boundaries of the United States are shared with Canada and Mexico, respectively.
Along with other countries, it shares maritime boundaries with the Bahamas, Cuba, and Russia. It is the third most populous nation in the world, with a population of over 331 million. The most populous metropolis and financial hub is New York City, while Washington, D.C., serves as the nation’s capital.
Only ten countries contain more than 90% of the world’s proven coal reserves. More than one-fifth of all proven coal reserves are located in the US, which comes in first on the list. China, which comes in third, is the world’s largest producer and user of coal. According to total proved reserves, Mining Technology presents the ten nations with the largest coal reserves.
Because it is buried below, it is impossible to calculate how much coal there is in the United States. According to the most thorough national evaluation of U.S. coal resources issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 1975, the country’s coal reserves stood at 4 trillion short tons as of January 1, 1974. Although the USGS has recently completed regional evaluations of the country’s coal resources, a new national assessment has not been carried out.
Three measurements of the amount of remaining coal in the United States are made public by the Energy Information Administration (EIA). The measures are based on the economic viability of mining the coal and the degree of geologic certainty.
