During the period in consideration, sub-bituminous and lignite reserves were greater than anthracite and bituminous reserves. Furthermore, coal reserves presented a trend of growth. As of 2020, EU's sub-bituminous and lignite reserves accounted for around 67.5 percent from the region's total coal reserves.
