Table description
This table presents the main figures for supply and consumption of primary coal (hard coal, lignite) and coal products in the Netherlands in a long time series.
Data available:
From 1802
Status of the figures:
Figures of 1802 up to and including 2019 are definite. Figures of 2020 are revised provisional.
Changes as of 1st of March 2022:
Figures from 1990 up to and including 2014 have been revised. The most relevant adaptations are a change of imports and stock changes of hard coal and lignite and other output of coke-oven cokes of several million kg on a yearly basis.
When will new figures be published?
Revised provisional figures: June/July in the following year.
Definite figures: december in the second following year.
Description topics
- Primary coals
- Hard coal:
Fossil fuel existing of carbonised rests of vegetal origin.
Sorts of hard coal: anthracite, coke oven cokes and stem coal. All these types have a calorific value of more than 24 megajoules per kilogram of the ash-free and wet product.
Lignite:
Sort of coal with a calorific value of less than 20 megajoules per kilogram of the ash-free and wet product and greater than 31 percent volatile matter on a dry mineral free basis.- Indigenous production, total
- Extraction of energy from nature.
- Indigenous production hard coal
- Extraction of hard coal from nature.
- Indigenous production lignite
- Extraction of lignite from nature.
- Coal products
- From coal derived products like coke-oven cokes, coke-oven gas and blast furnace gas.
- Patent fuel; output
- Coal pressed into blocks.
- Coke-oven cokes
- Solid coal product derived from further carbonization at high temperature. In blast furnaces the product is used to produce iron from iron ore.
- Manufacture of coke-oven products output
- Manufacture of coke-oven products transform coal into coke-oven cokes which is needed to produce iron and steel.
