Renewable municipal waste production in Spain has shown fluctuations since 2013, with a significant upward trend noticed from 2021 onwards. As of 2023, production stood at 295.14 Thousand Tonnes of Oil Equivalent. The average annual growth rate over the last five years has been 3.04%. The forecast suggests a progressively increasing trend, reaching 323.86 Thousand Tonnes of Oil Equivalent by 2028, implying a steady growth rate of 1.47% per year.
Over the years, the year-on-year variations have illustrated periods of both decline and growth. Particularly in the last two years, the increase has been relatively modest with rates around 2%. The overall trends indicate resilience and gradual growth in the sector.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in waste-to-energy technologies, government policies supporting sustainability, and increased public awareness and participation in waste management programs. This could further drive the production and utilization of renewable municipal waste in Spain.
