Coal is a rich source of energy formed from plants that grew in swamps tens to hundreds of millions of years ago. The plants were buried deeply under younger and younger layers of dirt and rock, heated, and compressed into a carbon-rich rock. [1] Burning coal releases more carbon dioxide per unit of energy produced than any other fossil fuel. [2]

Recent coal production has occurred at several surface 'reclamation mining' projects where previously mined deposits are being 're-mined' and the impacted lands reclaimed to modern environmental standards. This accounts for more than 500,000 tonnes of current coal production in the province.
Background Proposed coal mines. A small producer, Latin America makes up just 0.7% (16 mtpa) of proposed global coal mining capacity. The majority of proposed capacity is located in Colombia (3 mtpa under construction and another 7 mtpa planned), followed by Brazil with 5 mtpa of capacity planned and Venezuela with 1 mtpa planned.
The mining and exploration of coal starts thousands of years ago in ancient China, the Roman Empire, and other countries, according to documents of early mines.
