Insights by country

Madagascar

In 2021, Madagascar ranked #100 globally for Coal Revenue, contributing 0% of GDP. This is significantly lower than many countries in the region, where coal often plays a more substantial economic role. The limited coal revenue in Madagascar can be attributed to its reliance on agriculture and biodiversity, as well as a lack of investment in mining infrastructure.

Sweden

In 2021, Sweden ranked #158 globally for Coal Revenue, with coal revenues comprising 0% of GDP (2018 est.). This figure is significantly lower than many of its European neighbors, reflecting a broader trend in the region toward renewable energy sources. Sweden's commitment to sustainability and environmental policies has led to a substantial reduction in coal usage, aligning with its ambitious climate goals.

Mali

Mali ranked #104 out of 181 countries for Coal Revenue in 2021, with coal revenues accounting for 0% of GDP (2018 est.). This figure is significantly lower than many neighboring countries in West Africa, where coal production is more prevalent. The country's limited coal extraction capabilities and reliance on agriculture and gold mining are key factors contributing to this low revenue from coal.

Namibia

In 2021, Namibia ranked #115 globally for Coal Revenue, with coal revenues constituting 0% of GDP (2018 est.). This figure is significantly lower than many of its Southern African neighbors, highlighting a limited reliance on coal compared to countries like South Africa, which has a more developed coal sector. The country's economic focus has been primarily on mining and agriculture, with a strong emphasis on sustainable practices, which has led to reduced coal extraction and utilization.

Lebanon

In 2021, Lebanon ranked #93 globally with coal revenues accounting for 0% of GDP. This figure is notably lower than many countries in the region, reflecting Lebanon's limited reliance on coal as an energy source compared to its neighbors. The absence of coal revenue is primarily due to Lebanon's ongoing energy crisis, which has led to a reliance on imported fuels and a lack of investment in coal infrastructure.

Mauritius

Mauritius ranks #107 globally for Coal Revenue in 2021, with coal revenues accounting for 0% of GDP (2018 est.). This figure is notably lower than many countries that rely heavily on coal for energy production, reflecting the country's commitment to sustainable energy sources. Mauritius has invested significantly in renewable energy, particularly solar and wind, reducing its dependence on fossil fuels and coal. Additionally, the nation’s small size and limited natural resources further constrain its coal production capabilities.

Lesotho

In 2021, Lesotho ranked #94 globally for coal revenue, contributing 0% of GDP according to 2018 estimates. This figure is significantly lower than many neighboring countries in Southern Africa, where coal plays a more substantial economic role. The lack of coal revenue in Lesotho can be attributed to its limited coal reserves and reliance on hydropower for energy generation, which shapes its overall economic landscape.

Mauritania

Mauritania ranks #106 globally with coal revenues accounting for 0% of GDP in 2021. This figure is notably lower than many of its regional neighbors, indicating limited reliance on coal as a revenue source compared to countries rich in mineral resources. The country's economy is primarily driven by fishing and iron ore exports, which overshadow potential coal development. Additionally, Mauritania's energy policy has historically focused on renewable sources rather than fossil fuels, further contributing to its minimal coal revenue.

Yemen

In 2021, Yemen ranked #180 out of 181 countries for Coal Revenue, with a value of 0% of GDP. This figure is significantly lower compared to many countries that derive substantial income from coal, reflecting Yemen's limited energy sector. The ongoing conflict and economic instability have severely hindered the development of its natural resources, including coal, contributing to this minimal revenue generation.

South Africa

In 2021, South Africa ranked #153 globally with coal revenues accounting for 2.4% of GDP. This figure is notably low compared to leading coal producers, which often see much higher contributions to GDP from this sector. The country's reliance on coal is driven by its abundant reserves and the energy demands of its industrial base, despite increasing pressure to transition to renewable energy sources.
