加拿大已探明的褐煤和和次烟煤储量,保守地估算分别也有35亿吨及300亿吨。大部分次烟煤蕴藏在靠近Alberta省平原地区,目前开采成本约为8.00加元/吨。1980年全国生产低质煤大约为一千六百万吨,到2000年时,估计可提高到八千万吨以上。现在需求量的95％左右用于发电,但是在未来的20年内,随着工业上出现的热能转换与利用过程的成熟,这个百分数将会有所下降。两个大型坑口电站的设计正在积极进行之中:一个在British Columbia省的HatCreek;另一个在Ontario的Jame Bay南面。在Alberta,Saskatchewan及Ontario等省,燃用低质煤的新电站将使发电能力从1980年的395万千瓦增加到1982年的550万千瓦。
Canada has proven reserves of lignite and sub-bituminous coal, with conservative estimates of 3.5 billion tons and 30 billion tons respectively. Most of the sub-bituminous coal is stored in the plains near Alberta, with a current cost of about $ 8.00 / tonne. In 1980, the country produced about 16 million tons of low-quality coal. By 2000, it was estimated that it could be raised to over 80 million tons. About 95% of the demand is now being used to generate electricity, but this percentage will decline in the next 20 years as the industrial heat transfer and utilization process matures. Two large pithead power plants are being designed actively: one at HatCreek in British Columbia and the other south at Jame Bay in Ontario. In Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario provinces, new power plants using low-quality coal will increase their generating capacity from 3.95 million kilowatts in 1980 to 5.5 million kilowatts in 1982.
