The Rise and Fall of Coal in the World
In terms of primary energy consumption i.e. which includes liquid fuels and all sorts of things it's 30% for the entire globe, 3-0 so it's still a significant number. Now if you remove all the things like transportation and only focus on the power sector it comes to about 37% of electricity generation for the whole world.
