Coal production at historic lows. In 2023, 82 percent less was produced compared

Coal production and consumption in the European Union was at an all-time low in 2023, according to Eurostat. According to preliminary data, the volume of coal production in the EU reached 274 million tons, 22 percent less than in 2022, while consumption fell by 23 percent to 351 million tons.

These figures show that coal consumption in the European Union fell by more than 100 million tons year-on-year. The main EU coal consumers in 2023 were Germany with 37 percent and Poland with 27 percent, meaning that these two countries together account for almost two-thirds of coal consumption in the European Union.

Hard coal is produced in the EU only in the Czech Republic and Poland, and the latter is the only country that uses it as the main source of electricity production. If compared to the past, in 2023 the EU production of hard coal was 50 million tonnes, 82% less than the 277 million tonnes in 1990.

Over the years, the European Union has reduced its use. From 2018 to 2023, the consumption of hard coal decreased by 42% and lignite by 40% in the region. In 2022, for the first time in the EU, more electricity was produced by solar power plants than by coal.
