According to the German Coal Importers Association, despite the development of renewable energy in full swing and continuing to seize the coal power market, Germany will expect to import 45 million tons of hard coal in 2019, an increase of about 1.
4% over 2018, including an estimated 30 million tons of thermal coal and 15 million tons of coking coal and coke products
, according to the German Coal Importers Association.
Germany's last two hard coal mines in the west of the country were closed at the end of December, under the agreement, to stop unprofitable mining in favor of imports
.
VDKI said the increase in imports of hard coal was due to a court ban on logging in old-growth forests, a move that would hinder lignite mining by utility RWE
.
The court's ruling limited the supply of RWE lignite power plants, while hard coal could cover part of the deficit
.
Last year, these two coals accounted for 38%
of Germany's electricity production.
Coal demand also fell by 13% to 44.
5 million mt in 2018 as the share of renewable energy generation continued to rise, and coal power production continued to decline.
Among them, thermal coal alone fell by 17% to 30 million tons
.
Green electricity accounted for more than
40% of total electricity generation in 2018.
