1/8: UK stats just in! Demand for coal in 2024 was 2.1 million tonnes, a 52% drop from 2023 📉 This decline is largely due to a 55% fall in coal-fired generation, owing to the closure of UK's last coal power station at Ratcliffe. Our stats dashboard: https://t.co/lPDnHyKfPR

7/8: UK stats just in! In 2024, the UK converted 395,000 tonnes of coal into 'minerals' (we're finding out exactly what minerals those are), down from 2023 but still significant & requires action in transferring to climate friendlier alternatives💯 More: https://t.co/Fg4i3QfFyP

6/8: UK stats just in! Iron & steel industry uses the most coal after electricity generation globally. It is now the biggest user of coal in the UK. The closure & transformation of Port Talbot steelworks is largely responsible for the industry's reducing coal reliance 2023-2024

3/8: UK stats just in! Whilst UK coal imports halved in 2024, our exports of coal almost doubled compared with 2023! 📈 Partly due to Ratcliffe power station selling off surplus coal stocks upon closure. Imports still outstripped exports by 700,000 tonnes https://t.co/Fg4i3Qf7Jh

2/8: UK stats just in! Massive decline in coal mining from 506,000 in 2023 to 107,000 in 2024. This is due to closure of Ffos-y-fran opencast coal mine...but we now expect coal mining to remain the same with no further closures until 2039. https://t.co/YAmjRTL58t

Barclays funneled $2bn into US coal utilities in 2024... and has just pulled out of the UN-backed Net-Zero Banking Alliance, along with HSBC. If you're still banking with either of these climate criminals, it's time to switch. https://t.co/OyVJtlFXsz?
