Coal is the most abundant type of fossil fuel, accounting for 64% of globally recoverable resources in the world, compared to oil (19%) and natural gas (17%). Coal is traditionally used in the energy sector, generating about 40% of the world’s electricity. The demand for coal is expected to increase by over 60% from 2006 to 2030, of which developing countries will account for over 90%.

This book offers an up-to-date overview of the coal deposits of South Limburg (Netherlands), the Aachen area (Germany), and the Campine area (Belgium). Although the amount of available literature on these coal deposits is quite vast, the majority of the texts date back to the mid-twentieth century, and most publications focus more on the stratigraphy of the coal layers and the rank of the coal. Moreover, the concept of continental drift is largely ignored in these publications.
