Explanation of symbols

Table explanation


This table shows the supply and the consumption of hard coal, lignite + BKB (Braunkohlenbriketts) and coke-oven cokes. 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. This consumption is divided into consumption by energy companies, coke oven plants, industry, iron and steel and other consumers. This table is a redesign.

Data available from: January 2015.


Status of the figures:
- up to and including 2023 definite.
- 2024 is revised provisional.
- 2025 is provisional.

Changes as of November 18th 2025:
Figures of 2023 and 2024 have been updated. Figures for the energy consumption of coke-oven cokes by industry in 2022 have been revised. These figures have been adjusted downwards with 35 million kg. Figures of imports of coke-oven cokes in 2022 have been adjusted accordingly.

Changes as of October 31st 2025:
Figures added for Oktober 2025.

Changes as of September 30th 2025:
Figures added for July 2025.

Changes as of August 27th 2025:
