Insights by country

Libya

In 2022, Libya's coal revenue accounted for 0% of GDP, ranking it #97 out of 181 countries. This figure is notably low compared to other nations in the region, reflecting Libya's heavy reliance on oil exports rather than coal. The country's vast oil reserves and ongoing political instability have hindered the development of a diverse energy sector, limiting coal production and revenue generation.

Indonesia

In 2022, Indonesia ranked #78 globally with coal revenues constituting 1.06% of GDP. This percentage reflects a significant reliance on coal compared to many neighboring Southeast Asian countries, where renewable energy initiatives are gaining momentum. Indonesia's abundant coal reserves and its role as one of the world's top coal exporters drive this revenue, despite growing international pressure to transition to cleaner energy sources.

Afghanistan

In 2022, Afghanistan achieved a global rank of #1 for Coal Revenue, generating 0.45% of GDP from this sector. This performance is notable compared to many countries, particularly as Afghanistan leads in coal revenue generation despite its challenging economic landscape. The country's vast coal reserves and the ongoing demand for energy resources in the region drive this revenue, although political instability and infrastructure issues pose significant challenges to fully capitalizing on these resources.

Albania

In 2022, Albania achieved a global rank of #2 for coal revenue, which constituted 0.03% of GDP. This figure is notably higher than many regional peers, underscoring Albania's strategic position in the coal sector. The country's rich mineral resources and increasing energy demands drive its coal production, while ongoing investments in infrastructure support this sector's growth.

Bangladesh

In 2022, Bangladesh ranked #13 globally for coal revenue, contributing 0.02% of GDP according to estimates from 2018. This figure is relatively low compared to top coal-producing nations, reflecting the country's ongoing reliance on other energy sources and its commitment to renewable energy initiatives. Bangladesh's energy policy is influenced by its need to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability, as it faces significant challenges from climate change and resource management.

Chad

In 2022, Chad ranked #35 globally for Coal Revenue, with coal revenues contributing 0% of GDP (2018 est.). This figure is notably lower than many other countries, reflecting Chad's limited coal production capacity compared to top producers like China and India. The country's reliance on oil exports and insufficient infrastructure for coal extraction and processing are significant factors limiting its coal revenue potential.

Algeria

In 2022, Algeria achieved a global rank of #3 for coal revenue, contributing 0% of GDP (2018 est.). This figure is notably lower than many coal-producing nations, reflecting a broader trend in the region where reliance on coal is diminishing. The country's significant natural gas reserves and its strategic focus on diversifying energy exports have influenced this statistic, as Algeria aims to enhance its economic resilience and reduce dependence on coal.

Chile

In 2022, Chile ranked #36 globally for Coal Revenue, contributing 0.01% of GDP. This figure is notably lower than the global average, reflecting Chile's transition towards renewable energy sources. The country's significant investment in solar and wind energy, driven by its geographic advantages, has reduced reliance on coal, which historically played a larger role in its energy mix.

Cambodia

Cambodia ranks #28 globally in coal revenue, contributing 0% of GDP as of 2022. This figure is notably lower compared to regional neighbors like Thailand, which has a more developed coal sector. The minimal coal revenue in Cambodia is largely due to its focus on renewable energy sources and a lack of extensive coal mining infrastructure, which limits its potential in this sector.

Angola

In 2022, Angola ranked #5 globally for coal revenue, contributing 0% of GDP (2018 est.). This figure is notably lower than many leading coal-producing nations, indicating a limited reliance on coal compared to top-ranked countries. Angola's coal sector is underdeveloped, largely due to its focus on oil production, which dominates its economy and export revenues. Additionally, the country's vast mineral resources have not yet been fully harnessed for coal development.
