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. Status of the figures: — figures from 2019 are definite; figures of 2020 and 2021 are revised provisional; figures of 2022 are provisional. Changes as of October 31st 2022: Provisional figures for August 2022 have been added. Changes as of 17 December 2021: Figures for 2019 have become definite. Figures for 2015 up to and including 2018 have been revised. The most relevant adaptation is a reduction of imports and exports of cokes of a few tens of millions kg annually (corresponding to approximately 2 % of consumption). When will new figures be published? The Provisional Figures: in the second month after the month under review. Revised provisional figures: not later than in the following December. Definite figures: not later than December of the second following year.
