    Germany is expected to import 45 million tonnes of hard coal
    this year after the closure of domestic mines.

    According to the German coal importers' association VDKI, the data shows that this will be 1.
    4% higher than the 2018 figure, because additional coal
    is purchased to ensure a stable supply, despite increasing the amount of renewable energy.

    About 30 million tonnes are expected to be used for power generation, with another 15 million tonnes consisting of
    coking coal and coke for coking.

    At the end of 2018, Germany's last two hard coal mines were closed
    .
    In 2018, green electricity accounted for 40% of total electricity generation, stemming from a politically driven process to replace fossil fuels in Germany
    .
