In 2023, the United Kingdom and Germany led European bioenergy gross electricity production, each contributing 20.19 gigawatthours (GWh). Both countries showed notable year-on-year variations, with the UK increasing by 4.83% and Germany decreasing by 2.38%. Noteworthy growth emerged from the Netherlands (+26.17%), Bulgaria (+16.19%), and Ukraine (+32.26%), signifying a robust rise in bioenergy adoption in these regions. Conversely, Belgium, with a decline of 4.47%, and Austria, down by 2.53%, showed diminishing bioenergy outputs.
Future trends to watch include the continued expansion in the Netherlands, potentially propelled by policy and investment in renewable resources. Additionally, growth in countries like Ukraine and Bulgaria may indicate a broader regional trend towards increasing bioenergy capacity. Advancements in technology and sustainability policies will likely drive bioenergy investments across Europe.
