The table gives data about the quantity of coal used by 5 sectors in the UK within a period of 25 year; in addition, the level of consumtion at each year are illustrated.
From 1975 to 1985, the largest amount was consumed by Power stations and Other energy industries, whereas three other sectors used considerably less. To illustrate, Services used 7. 2 million of tonnes from 1975 to 1985, but power stations figure for the same period of time was 250. 8 million tonnes. It was striking the fact that in 1985 Power stations used more than three quarters of the total qantity.
From 1990 to 2000, consuming of coal decreased in all sectors. However, power stations remained still highest user of coal, followed by other energy industres which utilized significantly less compared to power stations and over three times more than they did in 1975.
Overall, the trend of coal consumption experienced declines for all sectors with one exception in 1980 when power stations increased just under 10%. Domestic consumption levelled off in 1990 and 1995 whereas other energy industres reached a plateau in 1995 and 2000.
