#3 In EuropeRevenue is forecast to dwindle at a compound annual rate of 5.1% over the five years through 2024. Major economies have moved away from coal-fired power plants in favour of more sustainable and environmentally friendly electricity generation methods to work towards climate goals. Lignite is also less popular than hard coal and leaves a larger carbon footprint due to its higher moisture content and lower carbon content. The consumption of lignite, or brown coal, has fallen significantly, weighing on revenue prospects for lignite miners.
