Coal use in Germany falls far faster than planned

Original: Der # Kohleverbrauch in # Deutschland ist deutlich gesunken. Während 1990 noch fast 200 Millionen Tonnen Steinkohleeinhe

Coal consumption in Germany has dropped sharply, with usage falling from nearly 200 million tonnes of hard coal units in 1990 to just over 50 million in 2025. Observers note the country's coal phase-out is progressing faster than legally mandated, driven mainly by the rapid expansion of renewable energy and declining reliance on coal-fired power.

Why now: Germany's coal exit outpacing its legal timetable is a notable energy transition milestone being discussed amid European climate policy debates.
