Coal and lignite
Where it comes from, what share of a sector’s output it is, and which conflicts the model routes through it.
This page shows production, shares and inputs. It shows no death toll per tonne. The shares below say what fraction of a sector’s output this material is and what fraction of a conflict’s harm the model routes to it; multiplying either by a count of people produces a result, and a result is not published until it has a run, an uncertainty interval and a confidence grade.

Who produces it
No production data has been ingested for this material.
The register is a modelling choice and it is deliberately wider than what has been ingested — a material with no data is visible as a gap rather than absent from the list. Harm that would have been routed here goes to the sink instead, and the share that does is published on the register index rather than quietly spread over the materials that do have data.
Harm per tonne and per euro
Harm per tonne and harm per euro are both computed. Neither is shown.
Harm per tonne is not yet defined for this material, because no world production of it has been ingested. That is recorded as undefined, not as zero.
Both are counts of people divided by a quantity, from a run that has no uncertainty interval and no backtest yet, and nothing of that kind is published before session 21. What this page can say now is whether each is defined, and on what basis.
