Key reserves

Coal reserves (2023)

366.0 M ST

Key terms

Proved reserves: — Quantities of crude oil or natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty are recoverable under existing economic and operating conditions.
Recoverable reserves: — Coal that can be technically and economically extracted with current mining methods at current prices. Excludes inaccessible deposits.
Billion barrels (B bbl): — Unit for oil reserves. One barrel equals 42 US gallons or about 159 litres.
Trillion cubic feet (TCF): — Unit for natural gas reserves. One TCF is roughly 28.3 billion cubic metres.
Million short tons (M ST): — Unit for coal reserves. One short ton equals 2,000 lb or 907 kg.

Coal recoverable reserves

As of 2023, North Macedonia's recoverable coal reserves totaled 366.0 million short tons. That held roughly steady compared with a decade earlier.

The bottom line

North Macedonia's reserve base was dominated by coal, the most carbon-intensive fossil fuel by energy content.
