Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Coal Consumption in Typical Countries in the World from 2020 to 2021

Abstract

As an important energy material in human society, coal is known as black gold and food for industry. It is one of the most important energy sources used in the world since the 18th century. Since the 21st century, due to the massive development and mining of coal, although the value and price of coal have been lower than before, after all, coal is still one of the indispensable energy sources for human production and life for a long time. Besides, the supply of coal is also related to the stability of industry as well as the production and development of the whole society. The security of coal supply performance is also the most important part of energy security. This paper studies the coal consumption characteristics and regional distribution characteristics of typical countries in the world from 2020 to 2021, discusses the relationship between resource consumption and environmental protection, and reflects it through PM2.5 index. Through the comparison of the two data, it can intuitively reflect the environmental pollution caused by resource consumption and provide reference for the global environmental protection cause.
