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 December 24th 2025:
Figures added for October 2025.

Changes as of November 28th 2025:
Figures added for September 2025.

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:
Figures added for June 2025.

Changes as of July 28th 2025:
Figures added for May 2025.

When will new figures be published?
Provisional figures: in the second month after the month under review.
Revised provisional figures: not later than in the following June.
Definite figures: not later than in December of the second following year.

Description topics

Energy supply
The amount of energy available for consumption in the Netherlands.
Total energy supply
The amount of energy available for consumption in the Netherlands (production plus recovered products plus imports and withdrawal from stocks) minus the amount which is not available for consumption (exports).
Production
The amount of energy transformed from another energy commodity.
Recovered products
Slurries and waste-heap shale recovered by mines.
Imports, total
Imports of energy commodities.
Of which from outside EU
Imports of energy commodities coming from non-EU countries.
Exports
Exports of energy commodities.
Stocks - beginning of period
The opening amount of stocks of coal and coal products.
Stocks - end of period
The closing amount of stocks of coal and coal products.
Stock change
Changes in stock are calculated as opening stock minus closing stock, in accordance with international energy statistics guidelines. A positive figure means that stocks have decreased, and the supply of energy has thus increased. A negative figure means the opposite: an increase in stocks and a decrease in consumption.
Statistical differences
The difference between the energy sypply and energy consumption of an energy commodity.

This difference arises because the figures on supply and consumption come from different sources
For many energy commodities, the difference is allocated to supply or consumption. Then this statistical difference is nil.
