What the source says
After reaching a record high in 2025, global coal production is expected to decline in 2026, although it is set to remain above 9 billion tonnes for a third consecutive year.
Checked: the figure 9 billion tonnesis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
