<title>Consumption of hard coal decreased by 28 per cent in 2011</title>
<link>http://www.stat.fi/til/kivih/2011/12/kivih_2011_12_2012-01-27_tie_001_en.html</link>
<description>According to Statistics Finland, nearly 28 per cent less hard coal was used as fuel in power and heat production in 2011 than in the year before. Its total consumption as fuel in the generation of electricity and heat amounted to 4.2 million tonnes, corresponding to 106 petajoules in energy content. In the last quarter of the year, consumption of hard coal amounted to around 0.9 million tonnes, which was 54 per cent less than one year earlier. Use of hard coal decreased in plants of separate production of electricity, which consumed 47 less of it than a year earlier in 2010.</description>

<description>Corrected on 20 October 2011 Preliminary data on energy consumption concerning the first and second quarters of 2010 and 2011 have been corrected. The corrections concern the consumption of the energy sources of natural gas, coal, peat, wood fuels and the group others. The figures regarding nuclear energy, hydro power and wind power have changed only a little. The above-mentioned changes also have an effect on the annual changes of energy use. In the following, preliminary change percentages will be reported as integers. The corrections have also changed the volume of total energy consumption. Changes in the use of fossil fuels and peat also have an impact on the energy sector's carbon dioxide emissions, the data concerning which have been corrected accordingly.
