Unfortunately in Table 3.5 coal as an important energy resource is not split into
brown coal (lignite) and hard coal. According to Eurostat 69) the proportion of hard
coal (EU-27 2005) amounts to 19.1% and that of of brown coal to 9.3%.
There are also similar statistics from OECD (OECD world, OECD Europe, single

countries) and single non-OECD countries. The tables can also be downloaded
