Coal consumption is expressed in million tonnes. The row values are 2024 values; the IEA 2025 report is retained only as context in the source cards.
Rows were taken from the same 2024 country consumption series and sorted by value.
All selected rows use the same source family, year and unit; the IEA source card is contextual and not mixed into row values.
