In 2023, France led European Gas and Diesel Oil consumption in the fishing sector, accounting for 17.22 TJ, followed by Norway at 15.43 TJ. Notable consumption was also recorded in Spain (13.32 TJ) and Iceland (9.94 TJ). Year-on-year variations show significant increases in Iceland (6.26%) and Portugal (4.62%), while Latvia and Romania experienced substantial declines (-10.75% and -20.89% respectively). The UK showed modest growth at 1.47%, whereas Germany and Sweden saw reductions of -5.24% and -4.25% respectively.
Looking ahead, European nations may focus on sustainable fuel alternatives, impacting traditional fossil fuel consumption patterns within the fishing sector. Policy changes and technological advancements in energy efficiency could drive trends, with a possible decline in overall consumption or shift towards biofuels.
