Coal is a fossil fuel which has been used as a source of energy in Canada since the 18th century. Canada is home to a tenth of the world's coal resources, the majority of which (over 90 per cent) are found in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
Canada's coal production has been consistent over the past decade, but a downturn in global demand is wounding the industry.
Though Canada has maintained steady production in recent years, largely through exports, a decrease in demand from countries such as China has halted production in some Canadian coal mines.
