According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), China had the world's third largest proven coal reserves after the US and Russia, totaling 173.1 billion tonnes (Bt) as of December 2023. The majority of the country's coal reserves are located in the northern provinces of Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, with the remainder located across other provinces such as Guizhou, Yunnan, Anhui, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and Sichuan.
The country's coal production is expected to reach 4.9Bt in 2025, up by 2.7% over 2024. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), China produced 3.97Bt of coal in the first ten months of 2025, up 1.5% year-on-year. While production was strong in H1 2025, growth slowed from July due to intensified safety inspections and regulatory actions to curb overcapacity.

The downturn continued through October, leading to a notable pullback in H2 that offset earlier gains. In addition, excess supply capacity, elevated inventories, and tighter safety and environmental regulations are constraining production growth during the forecast period 2025-35. The country's coal production is expected decline at a negative CAGR of 0.2% to 4.8Bt by 2035.
