Fig. 8.1British coal production from 1815 to 2004 (from Bardi 2007a). The production data are fitted with a Gaussian function which approximates the Hubbert curve. The maximum historical production is in 1913 with 287 Mtons, the maximum of the fitting curve is in 1923. Image courtesy of ASPO (Association for the Study of Peak oil)
