Book Description

"Long-term projections indicate that coal demand will increase dramatically within the next 20 years placing pressure on finding, developing and financing new supplies. This report on the location, quantity and quality of Canada's coal resources and reserves is intended to provide basic information to a diverse audience including producers, consumers, transporters, investors, energy planners, governments and the general public. An accurate assessment of coal resources and reserves is an essential step towards using coal effectively to help supply Canada's future energy requirements and those of offshore markets."--Preface (page iii).
