14 Market Dynamics Intersect With Flexibility Strategy Natural gas, coal and oil will account for 80% of energy consumption in the United States through The Marcellus Shale is estimated to be the second largest unconventional natural gas field in the world. Natural gas will continue to increase its share of the global energy mix, growing 2.4% per year until Coal accounts for 64% of global economically recoverable fossil resources, compared to 19% for oil and 17% for natural gas. Coal s share of the global energy mix continues to rise, and by 2017 coal will come close to surpassing oil as the world s top energy source. Coal is the cornerstone of global electricity, producing over 8,200 terawatt hours (TWh) annually, or about 41% of the world s power generation. CONSOL Energy continues to deploy an organic growth strategy t focused on rapidly developing its resource base of natural gas reserves while maintaining premium coal assets ready to meet the needs of changing market conditions.
