The coal production in Poland has shown a declining trend over the past decade. In 2013, the production was 2.39 Exajoules, but this decreased steadily to 1.68 Exajoules by 2023. The most significant yearly drop was observed in 2020, with a 9.85% decline. However, there was a brief uptick in 2021 with a 4.51% increase. The five-year CAGR from 2019 to 2023 was -3.25%, indicating a substantial downward trend.
Looking forward, coal production is expected to continue its decline, albeit at a slower rate. The forecast for 2024 to 2028 shows a five-year CAGR of -0.61%, projecting a value of 1.61 Exajoules by 2028. This long-term trend suggests a gradual phasing out of coal production in Poland. Future trends to watch for include the impact of renewable energy policies, government regulations, and advancements in alternative energy resources, which may further expedite the decline in coal production.
