<p>(a) The table below gives the amount of coal used for non-power generating purposes:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>
</p></td><td><p>UK coal demand for non-electricity generating purposes<sup>(1)</sup>
(thousand tonnes)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2006</p></td><td><p>10,156</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2007</p></td><td><p>10,158</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2008</p></td><td><p>10,577</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>9,037</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>9,827</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>9,658</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>9,141</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>10,139</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>10,021</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>8,174</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>(1) Includes coal used for heat generation, coke manufacture, blast furnaces,
patent fuel manufacture, energy used in coal extraction and final consumption by industry,
transport, domestic and other users.</p><p> </p><p>Source: Digest of UK Energy Statistics
