In 2023, Germany's coking coal gross available energy was significantly higher than the forecasted values for the upcoming years. From 2024 to 2028, a consistent downward trend is projected, with the value decreasing each year from 262.36 thousand terajoules in 2024 to 151.65 thousand terajoules in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, highlighting the transition away from reliance on coking coal.

Future trends to watch for include:

Germany's strategic shift towards sustainable energy sources could further impact coking coal demand.
Environmental regulations and climate commitments will likely accelerate the reduction of coking coal use.
Technological advances in alternative energy might play a significant role in reshaping the energy mix.
