This report contains a detailed description of the prospects for coal prepared by teams from each of the sixteen countries paticipating in the World Coal Study (WOCOL), as well as studies for other regions of the world. The WOCOL countries included Austria, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States. Non-WOCOL countries and regions included Republic of South Africa, East and Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa. The levels of coal production and use that each country estimates will be needed are included; and also the policy and infrastructure actions required to reach such levels. It showed how coal can meet a major part of the increased energy needs within each country, and be mined, moved, and used in ways which meet stringent environmental standards. (DP)
