In 2023, the final consumption of hard coal in Sweden stood at 410.0 thousand metric tons. From this baseline, the forecasted consumption values indicate a gradual decline year-on-year from 2024 to 2028. Specifically, the consumption is expected to decrease by approximately 1% per year, reflecting a continuing downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include ongoing shifts towards renewable energy sources and stricter environmental regulations. These factors are likely to further reduce the consumption of hard coal in Sweden, maintaining the observed declining trajectory.
