Coal and coal products balance sheet; supply and consumption

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.

Figures for 2020 are definite.
Figures from 2015 until 2021 have been revised.
The revision includes the years from 2015 until and including 2019 and are about a technical adjustment in the method of calculation to determine the import and export of Coke-oven cokes from 2015 until and including 2021. Because of that the import and export has changed with a maximum of 10 million kg per year. This equals with about 0,5 percent of the consumption. The production and consumption of Coke-oven cokes remain unchanged.
