Notes

Source: Statistics Canada

Release: Coal and Coke Statistics

Units: Thousand metric tonnes, Exports, total all coal types and uses, Canada

Frequency: Monthly

Notes: Coal exports from Canada in thousand metric tonnes per month, from Statistics Canada, all types combined. Exports run close to total production because domestic power use has shrunk; most tonnage is metallurgical coal shipped to Asia from BC ports. Note: the source table reports no export data from August 2014 to December 2019; the series resumes in January 2020. Published monthly, about three months behind the reference month.
