This table shows the supply and the consumption of hard coal, lignite + BKB (Braunkohlenbriketts) and coke-oven cokes in a balance sheet. Supply is calculated as production plus recovered products plus imports minus exports plus net stock changes. This calculation of the supply results in the amount of hard coal, lignite + BKB (Braunkohlenbriketts) and coke-oven cokes consumed in the period concerned. This consumption is divided into consumption by energy companies, coke oven plants, industry, iron and steel and other consumers. Other consumers are i.e. services and households.

Data available from: January 1990 up to November 2018.

Status of the figures:
All figures up to 2015 are definite.
Figures from January 2016 are revised provisional.

Changes as of August 3rd 2018:
- From January 1990 supply and consumption figures of lignite + BKB (Braunkohlenbriketts) and coke-oven cokes have been added.
- From reporting year 2015 onwards, the transit from the import and export figures of hard coal has been removed.
- Provisional figures of January up to and including May 2018 have been added.

When will new figures be published?
Not applicable anymore. This table will be continued by Coal and coal products balance sheet; supply and consumption. See section 3.
