Coal
Review data related to coal. Definitive annual data from SEAI's National Energy Balance.
Use the sidebar links to jump to specific data views on this page, or to learn more about how to interact with the annual data views.
SEAI analyses data relevant to coal by sub-product, stream and sector. This page refers to:
- Coal primary energy requirement
- Energy input to electricity generation from coal
- Coal available final energy consumption
- Coal final energy consumption
Coal Primary Energy Requirement
Yearly Change
The data view below shows the annual net primary energy requirement of coal, summed across all relevant streams: exports, imports and stock change (top), along with the absolute and percentage differences of coal primary energy requirement, with respect to the previous year for up to 20 years, where data is available (bottom).
Breakdown by Stream
The data view below shows the annual primary energy requirement of coal broken out by stream (bars), alongside the net value (line).
Breakdown by Energy Sub-Product
The data view below shows the annual primary energy requirement of coal, summed across all relevant streams: exports, imports and stock change along with its energy sub-product breakdown (top). The energy sub-product breakdown is also displayed as a percentage of the coal primary energy requirement (bottom).
Breakdown by Energy Input to Electricity Generation or Other Uses
The data view below shows the annual net primary energy requirement of coal, summed across all relevant streams: exports, imports and stock change (top), along with the breakdown between coal energy input to electricity generation or other uses. This is displayed as a percentage of coal primary energy requirement in a given year (bottom).
Coal Energy Input to Electricity Generation
Yearly Change
The data view below shows the annual energy input to electricity generation from coal, summed across public thermal power plants (PTPP) input and combined heat and power plants (CHP) input (top), along with the absolute and percentage differences of coal input to electricity generation, with respect to the previous year for up to 20 years, where data is available (bottom).
Coal Available Final Consumption
Breakdown by Stream
The data view below shows the annual net available final consumption of coal (line), summed across all relevant streams (bars): exports, imports, stock change, combined heat and power plants (input), public thermal power plants (input) and other exchange and transfers.
Coal Final Energy Consumption
Yearly Change
The data view below shows the annual final energy consumption of coal, summed across all sectors: agriculture, commercial services, fisheries, industry, public services, residential, transport (top), along with the absolute and percentage differences of coal final energy consumption, with respect to the previous year for up to 20 years, where data is available (bottom).
Breakdown by Sector
The data view below shows the annual final energy consumption of coal, summed across all sectors: agriculture, commercial services, fisheries, industry, public services, residential, transport (top), along with the sectoral breakdown displayed as a percentage of coal final energy consumption in a given year (bottom).
Breakdown by Sub-Product
The data view below shows the annual final energy consumption of coal, summed across all sectors: agriculture, commercial services, fisheries, industry, public services, residential, transport is shown with its energy sub-product breakdown (top). The energy sub-product breakdown is also displayed as a percentage of the coal final energy consumption (bottom).
Using the Annual Data Views
The data views can be customised and navigated by:
- Selecting the units from the dropdown menu - kilotonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe) (default), terajoules (TJ), or terawatt hours (TWh).
- Hovering over an element of a view to display a tooltip providing numerical values.
The data in the views can be downloaded by clicking on the 'download icon' and selecting:
- Image to download the view as a PNG file.
- Data to open a table of the underlying data in Tableau Public Crosstab to download the underlying data as a XLSX file (Microsoft Excel) or a CSV file (comma-separated values).
- PDF to download the view as a PDF.
- PowerPoint to download the view as a PPTX file for Microsoft PowerPoint.
- Tableau Workbook to download all views as a TWBX file for Tableau Desktop.
